Re: [hobbit] Virtual IP's

[Rolf Schrittenlocher <Schrittenlocher (at) rz.uni-frankfurt.de>]

Hi Henri,

we have all bb-clients (and the server) running as a virtual host. What 
we did:
Modyfying runclient.sh in the way that clientlaunch is replaced by 
clientlaunch.${MACHINE}. $MACHINE is the name of the virtual host and is 
set as you like in a script started by runclient.sh, so every process 
invokes the virtual hostname. Each client uses its own file 
clientlaunch.<$MACHINE>.cfg or - if no virtual hostname is set - a 
common config-file.
This is working fine if only one virtual host is running on the machine. 
If there are two or more, you'll get errors in the rrd-logs because 
sometimes the same machine is sending data for different hosts which is 
not accepted by hobbit. We haven't found a workaround for that, the only 
way seems to run more then one hobbit installation what we don't want to do.

regards
Rolf
