Hello Adamandios It depends on how the VLANs and subnets are configured. We have the archiver on a separate VLAN from the IOCs VLAN (both VLANs are not isolated from each other), but the archiver can see and archive all PVs from all the IOCs through: 1.
Setting EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST variable set in the sampleStartup.sh script. 2.
Configuring the NetworkManager dispatcher if you have multiple IOCs on the same host:
https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics/index.php/How_to_Make_Channel_Access_Reach_Multiple_Soft_IOCs_on_a_Linux_Host
For CSS, since the IOCs and the clients are on the same subnet, we don’t set any EPICS variables, except if we want some PVs from other VLANs like beamlines which are requested through EPICS CA gateway, here we set the EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST
to the IP of the gateway. Best Regards, Abdalla. From: Tech-talk <tech-talk-bounces at aps.anl.gov> On Behalf Of
Manoussakis, Adamandios via Tech-talk Hello All, I think I am having problems with routing with the epics archiver. When I have the archiver on a LAN and is on the same subnet as the IOCs being archived it seems to work fine but when I have archiver on a different subnet it doesn’t seem
to want to archive those PVs anymore. For example Same Subnet, CS Studio Picks up PVs, caget works, archiver works 192.168.10.20 Epics Archiver Computer 192.168.10.21 IOC running Different Subnet, CS Studio picks up PVs, caget works, Archiver will not archive PVs 192.168.10.20 Epics Archiver Computer 192.168.11.21 IOC running I have both the epics variables set in my env variables, in archappl.conf (archiver file), in settings.ini (cs studio file). It seems odd that caget, cs studio work fine but the archiver is having an issue seeing the IOC that is on the
other subnet. Is there another environment variable I am missing that needs to be set when services are on different subnets like this? I checked firewalls/ports/traffic it seems like the same requests are being made by cs studio/caget as the archiver but
the archiver ones don’t seem to go anywhere (just keep trying to retransmit). EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=192.168.11.21 EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=YES |
