3 node active-active-passive setup
|
|
Salaam,
I did some experimentation with wackamole and set up an
active-active-passive cluster, say node A, node B and node C
I have assigned the following vip
192.168.0.1 to Node A
192.168.0.2 Node B
Node C is configured to take over any node that fails, The following is my conf file
For Node A
{code}
Spread = 4803
SpreadRetryInterval = 5s
Group = wack1
Control = /var/run/wackamole/wackamole.it
Prefer eth0:192.168.0.1/32
VirtualInterfaces {
eth0:192.168.0.1/32
}
Arp-Cache = 60s
balance {
AcquisitionsPerRound = all
interval = 4s
}
mature = 5s
{code}
For Node B the conf file is
{code}
Spread = 4803
SpreadRetryInterval = 5s
Group = wack1
Control = /var/run/wackamole/wackamole.it
Prefer eth0:192.168.0.2/32
VirtualInterfaces {
eth0:192.168.0.2/32
}
Arp-Cache = 60s
balance {
AcquisitionsPerRound = all
interval = 4s
}
mature = 5s
{code}
The conf file for the Node c ie the passive node is
{code}
Spread = 4803
SpreadRetryInterval = 5s
Group = wack1
Control = /var/run/wackamole/wackamole.it
Prefer None
VirtualInterfaces {
eth0:192.168.0.1/32
eth0:192.168.0.2/32
}
Arp-Cache = 60s
balance {
AcquisitionsPerRound = all
interval = 4s
}
mature = 5s
{code}
I have used prefer for Node A and Node B so that the Node C releases the VIP once the original node comes online
I tested this setup internally and it works just fine.
But when I tried to implement this in the live environment, problems started and the setup started behaving strangly, once the Node C takes up the ip from the Node A and B, it just never gives them back even after mentioning the Prefer directive
In the live environment the only difference is that
1) it is sub netted
2) switch has spanning tree enabled
can someone please point out where I am going wrong ?
Thanks for your time.
