Hi,
=20
We got the following problem when we were testing wackamole in our Lab.
We observed that the failover is not consistent among the nodes.
=20
We had a 4 node(A,B,C,D) configuration.
=20
We have a Single Virtual IP configured.
=20
Initially B acquired the VIP.Through the wackatrl tool we tested who has
acquired the VIP. All the 4 nodes A,B,C and D showed that B has acquired
=20
We tried to unplug B from the LAN(by pulling out the network cable). Now
A has acquired the VIP. A, C and D tell that A has acquired the VIP.
=20
Now B is connected back to the LAN . When B was connected 'wackatrl -l'
in B tells that B has acquired the VIP, whereas A,C and D tell that A
has acquired the VIP. When we tried to reach the VIP through putty via
ssh. It got connected to A.
=20
When A was disconnected from LAN, B,C and D tell that B has acquired the
VIP. But when we tried to connect the VIP through putty via ssh, and the
connection timed out.
=20
Can someone throw some light on what would be the cause?
=20
Thanks,
Suganthi
