RE: heartbeat restarts the server

Here is a snip from the default ha.cf file

 

#       Watchdog is the watchdog timer.  If our own heart doesn't beat
for

#       a minute, then our machine will reboot.

#       NOTE: If you are using the software watchdog, you very likely

#       wish to load the module with the parameter "nowayout=0" or

#       compile it without CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT set. Otherwise even

#       an orderly shutdown of heartbeat will trigger a reboot, which is

#       very likely NOT what you want.

 

Try editing your /etc/modprobe.conf  file to have the following:

options softdog nowayout=0

options watchdog nowayout=0

 

As for the primary director going down... turn on debug in the ha.cf
file... this may help you get more information on your problem.

Subject: heartbeat restarts the server

 

Hello All,

 I have used the director / real server setup using the docs

 

http://www.ultramonkey.org/3/topologies/sl-ha-lb-eg.html

 

The setup works fine. However

 

The problem I am facing is each time heartbeat is rebooted or stopped it
restarts the server, is this an expected behavior if not then how can I
stop heartbeat from restarting the server each time it goes down.

 

Second the main primary director goes down after every 2 days or so, I
have checked the logs but cannot find anything specific , can you give
me any pointers as what I should be looking at to find out why the
primary director goes down or becomes unresponsive after every 2 days or
so. 

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Imran.
