Hi Andy, I re-produced it again. As you could see from the olb log file: 060328 17:40:22 001 (c) 2005 SLAC olbd version 20060307-0546 060328 17:40:22 001 [log in to unmask] initilization started. 060328 17:40:22 001 olb_Config: Role not specified; manager role assumed. 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: Performance monitor thread started 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: Refcount monitor thread started 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: Request Responder thread started 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: Request Timeout thread started 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: State monitor thread started 060328 17:40:22 001 [log in to unmask]:3121 manager initialization completed. 060328 17:40:22 19119 olb_Xeq: Admin traffic thread started 060328 17:40:27 19119 olb_Admin_Login: Primary server 19060 logged in 060328 17:41:52 19119 olb_Xeq: Worker thread started 060328 17:41:52 19119 olb_Config: Service enabled. And please also see that this node has as instance name "supervisor" and I have these lines in configuration file: olb.role manager if named redirector olb.role server if named dataserver olb.role supervisor if named supervisor I am also sending the whole configuration file in attachement to be sure that I didn't set something wrong that could replace or break this confgiguration directive. I could not say the symptons, sorry. Pavel Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: >Hi Pavel, > >Could you give me the symptoms that made it appear to not work? The first >one should have worked.
