[Swift-devel] NCSA-hg servers

[Michael Wilde]

I see that on mercury you specified gt2-gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org (in 
the sample test sites file) but did not specify alternate port 2812 as 
the TG siteinfo for that system suggests:

GridFTP Host Name (Globus 4.0)  	gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org
GridFTP Port (Globus 4.0) 	2811
GridFTP Host Name (Globus 2.4.3) 	gt2-gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org
GridFTP Port (Globus 2.4.3) 	2812

Yet gridftp seems to work as you have it: gt2-gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org

When I tried gridftp-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org, it worked the first time, 
although with an unexpected lengthy delay (seemed about 15-30 seconds) 
but when I retried the same command I got the cert error below.

Did you follow up with TG on this to determine the right settings, or 
whether they have a server problem, or just left set at whatever worked 
first?

If the latter, I will follow up with TG help to see what the state of 
that system's grid servers is supposed to be.

Its also possible that the recurring cert problem on communicado has 
recurred again.
