Clustering

[gauravsingh235]

I have two nodes i a cluster.
node1 ip is 192.168.1.4
node2 ip is 192.168.1.5
cluster name is node and also in vi /etc/hosts
file i have given
192.168.1.4 node1.example.com node1
192.168.1.5 node2.example.com node2
192.168.1.99 node.example.com node
i am able to ping node1 and node2 from either of the nodes.
also these two nodes are seen as a member of the cluster.
but i want to access them as a single ip of 192.168.1.99 i am unable to ping this ip also from either if the node s please suggest

Gaurav,

Which cluster software do you use?
But in general it seems like your cluster didn't start virtual IP. By running "ifconfig" on both nodes we can prove my theory.

So send use name/version your cluster s/w and tell us about your cluster config.

Rgds,

i am using red hat cluster suite version 4.
the o/p of ifconfig is showing only one ip that is my node ip wat is the way to create virtual ip?

please suggest

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

did you configure RH Cluster Manager and create a cluster application according to RH docs?

[gauravsingh235]

yes i have done that


the o/p of the command
clustat is showing two active nodes of the cluster.
my only problem is that i want the two nodes to be accessed by only one IP

please suggest

[Serviceguard for Linux]

Virtual IPs are typically used for accessing an application with a virtual IP. The Vitual IP is only really available on one node at a time.


You cannot access both nodes at the same time using the virtual IP.

Actually i am having two nodes in a cluster One is active and the other one is passive.
the active will be working with the virtual IP and the passive one will be silently observing , once the active one fails this virtual ip will start operating from the passive node and the node will become active.

You must use system-config-cluster to configure a service resource. Check the red hat cluster suite documentation in the section "Adding Cluster Resources" for information about how to create a service with a virtual IP.

You can get the documents from here:
