Hi, when will the next keepalived version be released? I've read there are quite some patches to be incorporated... Thanks.

Hi, I've found the problem in the meantime. I found out that I missed a closing brace in my config file :-[ so both VRRP instances had collapsed to one. I only found this out after digging into the source code of keepalived :-\ Thanks to all that tried to help me out ;-) Wouter.

$quoted_author = "Graeme Fowler" ; This isn't quite the setup he wants. Server 1 = Master A Server 2 = Master B Server 3 = Backup A, Backup B That is still probably the case. We'd need to see the master configs. cheers marty

Jack Neely — 2008-11-18T18:18:41

Thanks for the responce. I did find that the RHEL 4 platform logged a failing healthcheck multiple times...but there were 15 minutes to an hour before it would log the same failure again. So...doesn't make much sense here either. Fortunately, I've been able to fix the failures by removing people's old mess. :-) Jack

There's no need to shout :) This is perfectly normal - I have a couple running rather like this, master/backup on one director and backup/master on the other. If it complains about that, your configs are banjaxed. Make sure you have the same IP addresses in the same vrrp_instances, with the same virtual_router_id (VRID). It looks from here - although you didn't give the master config - that you have ever-so-slightly different config for each VRID, so it's complaining. At work we've got a boatload of VRRP instances spread across multiple pairs (or more) of servers, all on the same /24 subnet, and they all get along fine.

Graeme Fowler — 2008-11-18T17:10:10

Possibly the way syslog is configured - it can "eat" messages and print occasional "last message repeated N times" entries in order to save space. Other than that, no idea at all - if it's the same version, it doesn't make a heap of sense to me.

keepalived VRRP part used for N+1 redundantservices

2008-11-13T13:00:02

Hello, I would like to use just the VRRP part of keepalived to setup an N+1 redundancy scheme for a service that runs on the VRRP hosts. Just to give a simple example: - 2 active web servers, one on IP 1.2.3.4 and on IP 1.2.3.5 - 1 backup web server, that can take over one (or both) of the IP addresses given above (and will also take over the WEB service) This is how the configuration file would look like on the backup server: ---- vrrp_instance VI_10 { state BACKUP interface eth0 virtual_router_id 10 priority 50 authentication { auth_type PASS auth_pass password } virtual_ipaddress { 1.2.3.4/24 brd 10.0.11.255 dev eth0 } vrrp_instance VI_11 { state BACKUP interface eth0 virtual_router_id 11 priority 40 authentication { auth_type PASS auth_pass password } virtual_ipaddress { 1.2.3.5/23 brd 10.0.11.255 dev eth0 } ---- So BOTH VRRP INSTANCES WOULD BE RUNNING ON THE SAME ETHERNET INTERFACE (eth0). If I try to configure it like this, keepalived complains about a bogus VRRP packet, that's received with an invalid VR-ID on eth0. Has anyone considered doing this before? I guess it requires changes to keepalived, I could probably do this myself and send the patch to the owner? Thanks for reading this far ;-) Wouter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

keepalived_healthcheckers flooding syslog

Jack Neely — 2008-11-11T22:33:19

Folks, I'm migrating keepalived 1.1.15 from old servers running RHEL 4 to new servers running RHEL 5. I've had no problems moving VIPs between the different platforms, in fact its worked quite smoothly. However, the healthchecker thread seems to flood syslog on the RHEL 5 servers. Every delay_loop interval I get a log from each of the three RS that happen to be down: Nov 11 17:29:36 lvs00 Keepalived_healthcheckers: Timeout connect, timeout server [xxx.xxx.xxx.aaa:7777]. Nov 11 17:29:36 lvs00 Keepalived_healthcheckers: Timeout connect, timeout server [xxx.xxx.xxx.bbb:80]. Nov 11 17:29:36 lvs00 Keepalived_healthcheckers: Timeout connect, timeout server [xxx.xxx.xxx.ccc:80]. On the RHEL 4 platform I only got one syslog message when a host failed its healthcheck and it was silent until the RS came back online. Any idea what the difference may be? Jack Neely

Re: [lvs-users] Https sorry server problems

Graeme Fowler — 2008-11-10T09:42:29

There's something here that I can't quite put my finger on. I can almost smell the solution but it's proving tantalisingly out of reach! I've just tested this using a very basic configuration, with a single real_server that doesn't have a listener on port 443. My config looked like this: virtual_server 192.168.1.201 443 { delay_loop 6 lb_algo rr lb_kind DR nat_mask 255.255.255.0 persistence_timeout 50 protocol TCP sorry_server 127.0.0.1 443 real_server 192.168.2.215 443 { weight 100 TCP_CHECK { connect_timeout 3 } } } But the notable thing here is that the local Apache version on the director is also listening on the VIP on port 443, too. Is yours?

Re: [lvs-users] Https sorry server problems

Graeme Fowler — 2008-11-07T12:12:28

OK, all sane. However, SSL sites often don't bind to wildcard addresses (unlike those on port 80). You need to configure your webserver to listen to 127.0.0.1:443 with an appropriate SSL certificate. Note also that you may get certificate warnings unless you have configured the sorry server with the right certificate/key pair for the virtual host it's handling.

Re: is keepalived still under development ?

Robin Garner — 2008-11-02T23:39:09

There are two issues we have with keepalived at the moment. The first is syntax checking - currently if you have an error in the configuration file, most of the time keepalived silently ignores the error and just doesn't do what you intended. I'm currently attempting to write a "--checkconfig" option that will report syntax errors and return a good/bad status code. We're using cfengine to manage the configuration file, and being able to write a script that says (essentially) if config_ok; then reload keepalived; else send mail error; fi will make life a lot easier. The second issue is some status reporting. For example, using 'ip addr show' to check the status of the VRRP servers is OK, but sometimes we've found that both servers have all the virtual addresses defined, and it would be nice to be able to see what keepalived thinks is going on (and of course to fix the underlying bug).
