Most peculiar...

Another thought: Is the mysql command-line binary accessible to the user running heartbeat (on my RHEL3 system, root starts heartbeat but setuids to nobody - I don't know which user starts the daemon resources)?

Did you find out whether tcpdump on the real servers are getting packets when you telnet to port 3306 from the director to the real servers?

Other than those thoughts, I'm not sure I'm going to be much more help... I don't load-balance mysql myself, although I do use a few 'negotiate'-type checks in my ldirectord config, for http, https,
smtp and dns - they have all worked fine for me.

Cheers,

Ipvsadm shows both servers with a weight of zero. Both reals have lo:0 and the

There is no relevent errors, and it does show both reals being added with a 
weight of 0

The part that it doesn't appear to be making the negotiate connection to verify 
the service is weird
Indeed it is weird.

All I can think of is: Any difference putting the 'service=mysql' line under the 'real=...' lines? (probably not), and... What does the ldirectord log say when you start ldirectord?

Also, with tcpdump on the real servers active, does it register packets when you telnet to port 3306 from the director (just to check that tcpdump is working)?

I'm running this using the latest ultramonkey on debian sarge. I can run a tcpdump on the real server and look for port 3306 connections to the db to connect and run the check, but none are being made Anyone have any ideas?
What's the output of 'ipvsadm -Ln'? Is the virtual service listed, and if so, are the real servers listed?

Anything in the ldirectord log?

Given you're using LVS-DR, do the real servers have the 172.16.10.122 address set up as a loopback address?

Cheers,
Guy.
thanks Brian
