Q: xsan errors .....ERROR: _MDSChannelXsanFetchAccessTokenForUID: dead channel

I have a 4 node Xsan that was running 10.5.


I have since upgraded most of the xsan to 10.6, here is my layout.

Node 1 10.6 metadata controller
Node2 10.5 client
node3 10.6 client
node5 10.6 backup meta data controller

*Node 4 I s not in the xsan yet


On nodes 3 & 5 , I see these errors in my logs.

5/21/10 10:59:04 AM com.apple.metadata.mds[65] ERROR: _MDSChannelXsanFetchAccessTokenForUID: dead channel

** then right after it I get this error******

5/21/10 10:59:14 AM com.apple.metadata.mds[65] XSANFSFSCTLSpotlightRPC fsctl failed (errno = 45)ERROR: _MDSChannelInitForXsan: _XsanCreateMDSChannel failed: 45

Any Ideas? I only have one Xsan Volume and it is mounted and everything seems fine on all hosts. I checked and my FCP paths to storage look. I am not using an xraid for the backend storage but that should not matter.

I googled this error but the few references also mention that they users are having issues with a volume, which I am not.

Are both of these errors related, is it a FCP path issue or spotlight?




Thanks
