Hello Joe,
Yes and no. If you sum up the loss you have for a failed service for
your e-commerce, banking, whatever project depending on the SLA all NICs
are cheap. Trust me on that :)
erm, I guess I asked the wrong question.
What is a wrong question? If you already know it's wrong then you know
the answer and thus wouldn't have needed to ask in the beginning. I'm
confused (maybe an English problem).
Which ethernet cards are easy to support for vrrpd?
All are supported. Just one part for the failover/failback detection
machinery which Alexandre was working on is a little bit NIC (must sound
pretty vulgar to Alexandre) dependant.
Most/many of the people on this list seem to be trying out LVS with
whatever they have. If you can't do vrrpd unless you have expensive
hardware, then LVS won't be for casual experimenters anymore.
Sorry for not making my point clear enough. First of all, LVS will work
on all hardware that Linux runs on. For VRRPD/keepalived this is the
same and that's why I have told Alexandre to keep the FAULT_STATE
detection for MII state transitions optional. By that way everyone from
owning a cheap 8039 isa card on a 80386 up to whatever: s390x with 1024
interface emulations can use LVS in conjunction with keepalived to build
a HA cluster of fine arts.
Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
