How do GCSv5 endpoints act when a DTN is down?

[Karl Kornel]

Hello!

 

I’m wondering how GCSv5 multi-DTN endpoints act when a DTN is down, but other DTNs are up.

 

In the situation where a multi-DTN endpoint has a DTN down, I know that transfers will continue to run.  I also remember that with GCSv4, a downed DTN would cause intermittent transfer errors (which were recoverable), and occasional directory listing errors (which required a web page refresh or CLI re-execution), as clients (and the Globus service) would try to send requests to the downed DTN.

 

Since GCSv5 DTNs are very different from GCSv4 DTNs, I was wondering, what happen when a single DTN is down, but other DTNs are still up and able to serve traffic?
