Re: Testing lvs using Piranha 0.7.0-3 in Linux 8.0

Of course you can. But I think Peter was saying that 7.3 is way more
stable than 8.0 and you should use 7.3 instead of 8.0, whatever you're
doing.

Have a look at /var/log/messages and you'll certainly get clues to
what's you problem. If not start again pulse -v -c /etc/...

As far as I remember, you can't comment out lines. You have to remove
then. Also, many of the lines you've commented out are mandatory. Below
is what I'd expect to be minimal :

> [root@main ha]# cat lvs.cf
service = lvs
primary = 192.168.123.109
backup = 0.0.0.0
backup_active = 0
heartbeat = 0
heartbeat_port = 1050
keepalive = 6
deadtime = 18
reservation_conflict_action = preempt
debug_level = NONE
rsh_command = rsh
network = direct

virtual server1 {
         address = 192.168.123.110 eth0:1
         vip_nmask = 255.255.255.0
         active = 1
         load_monitor = none
         timeout = 5
         reentry = 10
         port = 23
         scheduler = rr
         persistent = 60
         pmask = 255.255.255.255
         protocol = tcp

         server Real1 {
                 address = 192.168.123.198
                 active = 1
                 weight = 1
         }
}

vip_nmask as been corrected from 255.255.255.255 to 255.255.255.0
load_monitor has been set to none, but I remember I fixed a problem with
that. You might try with uptime, eventhough it won't after the overall
system.
As for the send and expect string, I can't recall if nanny will just try
to connect and then disconnect if you don't specify anything. You might
try to specify the empty string for both.

/var/log/messages will be your best friend to understand what's going
on. Don't forget to start pulse with -v.
