Horms:
Due to many iterations I could not figure out what your last response was.
I have now done everything that I am aware of. Bringing up both daemons
on both LDs with reversed sync ids and a delay in heartbeat of 30
seconds. The failback is still dropping connections. FYI, bother LDs run
almost identical SuSE 9.3
ILD1: Linux ild1 2.6.5-7.97-smp #1 SMP Fri Jul 2 14:21:59 UTC 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
ILD2: Linux ild2 2.6.5-7.97-default #1 Fri Jul 2 14:21:59 UTC 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I do notice that one says default. Hmm. I did a customized install on this!
Regards

Karl Kopper's Linux Enterprise Cluster talks about the availability of

connections alive.
I could not find it on the linuxvirtualserver.org site. I see the latest
versions but they are in source format. Somehow I am unable to do rpm
--rebuild <sourcerpm>
The current version I have is: ipvsadm v1.24 2003/06/07 (compiled with
getopt_long and IPVS v1.2.0)
Could you be a little more specific about the patch
(or at least give a page refernce in the book).
It is the NOTE at the bottom of p276 (Stateful Failover of the IPVS Table)
I am suspecting that this patch is no longer needed.
When it fails over, the connections are retained. When it fails back,
the connections are broken.
I simulated this by rebooting (this is my lab machine!) the directors.
Ok, I'm still a little confused, but I think what he is talking
about is being able to run the master and backup daemons on
both linux-directors at the same time. That patch was merged
into the kernel a while ago now, and the chances are that
you can do this without patching. To test, try running:
ipvsadm --start-daemon master
ipvsadm --start-daemon backup
I am sorry, I did not explain very well. My language is not very
technical :-) I did what you suggested before. From master to backup
the failover worked fine. I did not lose any connections. From backup,
when the master (after a reboot) snatched back the nodes, the
connections dropped. I am sure that when the master came backup, it
started the daemon, as I had "--start-daemon master" in the
/etc/ipvsadm.rules. I confirmed this by doing "ipvsadm --start-daemon
master" on the master and it said "Daemon has already run". I could not
query if it is in "master" status. I presumed so.
I there a way for the master and backup swap dynamically when snatching
the nodes?
Which if it works, will improve things somewhat.
