Hi all,
I have compiled my own 2.4.26 kernel (from kernel.org) and activated all
IP: Virtual Server options
as mentionned in the FAQ and/or HOWTO. I am using Fedora Core 1.
Besides this kernel I am using UltraMonkey 2.0.1 RPMS and I upgraded
heartbeat-* to 1.2.2. I built
a Streamline High Availability and Load Balancing topology (by following
the docs closely) and
basically all works fine (for a while...).
It seems after about 15 minutes or so of inactivity, ipvsadm looses
trace of all connections, but the cluster
is still somewhat functional. Connections are still being routed, but
only to the node that is not acting as
the director.
If I restart heartbeat on the director, then everything gets back to
normal. I did not seem to have this problem
with the UltraMonkey 2.4.22 kernel.
Anyone have any idea what's happening? Are IPVS and the associated tools
stable with the 2.4.26 kernel?
Am I missing a patch on my 2.4.26 kernel? I didn't patch it at all
really. I simply activated the IPVS stuff in
"make xconfig". I'm using DR, but I have not applied the "hidden" patch.
Thanks,
Patrick
