Ciao, on the CMS-Eu redirectors I implemented as explained here: we have 2 redirectors (xrootd.ba.infn.it and xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it), under DNS RR xrootd-cms.infn.it Now redirectors' configs read all.role manager # The known managers all.manager xrootd-cms.infn.it+ 1213 all.manager meta any cms-xrd-global.cern.ch+ 1098 which I understand is the advised solution. What I see is strange. if I do something like xrdcp -d 3 root://xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it//store/test/xrootd/T2_ES_IFCA/store/mc/SAM/GenericTTbar/GEN-SIM-RECO/CMSSW_5_3_1_START53_V5-v1/0013/CE4D66EB-5AAE-E111-96D6-003048D37524.root . and I look into the logs, I see this goes xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it:1094 -> xrootd.ba.infn.it:1213 ALWAYS (so indeed xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it:1213 does not seem to be serving files at all). If I switch off xrootd.ba.infn.it:1213, xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it:1213 starts to serve files, but as soon as I start again xrootd.ba.infn.it:1213, the latter gets all the traffic. I tried with things like all.manager any/all xrootd-cms.infn.it+ 1213 (never really understood the difference any/all, my fault ...), but this does not seem to change the picture eventually, on xrootd-redic.pi.infn.it cmsd.log I see traffic (with grep serving cmsd.log ) only when the other cmsd is down ... is this expected? is there a way to make sure all.manager xrootd-cms.infn.it+ 1213 balances the cmsd calls between RR-DNS hosts? thanks tom --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/124#issuecomment-48276808 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
