Question:
Connectivity problems between FILAB VMs and Cosmos global instance

Description:
I have the same kind of connectivity problem discussed in the question "Cygnus can not persist data on Cosmos global instance". However, I have found no solution after read it.

Nowadays, I have recently deployed two virtual machines in FILAB (both VMs contain Orion ContextBroker 0.26.1 and Cygnus 0.11.0).

When I try to persist data on Cosmos via Cygnus, I get the following error message (the same in both VMs) :

2015-12-17 19:03:00,221 (SinkRunner-PollingRunner-DefaultSinkProcessor)
[ERROR - com.telefonica.iot.cygnus.sinks.OrionSink.process(OrionSink.java:305)]
Persistence error (The /user/rmartinezcarreras/def_serv/def_serv_path/room1_room
directory could not be created in HDFS. Server response: 503 Service unavailable)

On the other hand, when I try to fire a request from the command line of whatever VM, I get the next response:

[root@orionlarge centos]# curl -v -X GET "http://cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/rmartinezcarreras/?
op=liststatus&user.name=rmartinezcarreras" -H "X-Auth-Token: XXXXXXX"

Nevertheless, from an external VM (outside FILAB):

[root@dsieBroker orion]# curl -v -X GET
"http://cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/rmartinezcarreras/?
op=liststatus&user.name=rmartinezcarreras" -H "X-Auth-Token: XXXXX"

  }

• Closing connection #0

Also get good results from my Cosmos account.

How can I solve this? It seems a connectivity problem. Could you help me?

Thank you in advance
