Keepalived and LB_KIND for for LVS

http://serverfault.com – I'v a couple of firewalls running Keepalived 1.1.15 (Debian Lenny), at the origin for the VRRP feature. Then I added an LVS cluster with two 2 SMTP servers and lb_kind = NAT so our customers have transparent fallback and load-balancing. The issue with this setup was that all other servers behind the firewall are unable to reach the SMTP LVS ip address (because of the lb_kind NAT). This wasn't a big problem since the other servers behind the firewall didn't have to talk to the LVS Cluster. Now I would like to setup a MySQL cluster using the existing Keepalived system. Therefore, I'll need to (HowTos)

Stories similar to Keepalived and LB_KIND for for LVS

I'm learning to use keepalived; for now within a single machine - just to make sure the forwarding works.

I've started a mock webserver listening on 192.168.56.200:8080.

I have a keepalived setup with three servers behind an ip. One is setup as a sorry server and only serves the maintenance pages, the other two are actual app servers.

I am a student in IT and I have been asked to build a web server cluster for multiple websites. After 2 weeks of searching, reading and testing, I came here to ask for help.

What we want is a cluster of web servers working together in load balancing and fail over.

I'm running keepalived under Debian (Lenny, Squeeze) in a fairly simple setup, I'm just (ab)using it as a VRRP daemon to decide the mastership between two equal machines for some virtual IPs. All the magic happens in the notify-script.

When I completely stop the daemon (using debian's init-script) keepalived does not run the notify-script for backup or at least fault mode, which is what I would s

I run on Ubuntu and i want to use TCP keepalived in order to implement hearbeat between master-slave.both servers are my impl (c++). I read this overview and did some google. i didnt understand what TCP keepalived send and i do know if connection is no longer valid when use in TCP keepalive ?. Do i need to check the revived content?

I rad some article. Keepalived over GRE tunnel for failover on VPS environment

http://blog.killtheradio.net/how-tos/keepalived-haproxy-and-failover-on-...

but, I don't know how to configuration?

We have been using keepalived in combination with a virtual IP address for two years now. In the rare case that a machine crashes this works very well.

But when there are issues on the box itself we have seen a couple of cases where no failover took place. For example when we had a issue where the system was swapping all the time.

keepalived + redis failover 45 weeks 4 days ago

Hi, I'm working on running 2 redis nodes as failover cluster. Keepalived migrating VirtualIP successfully, but still not clear how to run command on slave to be a master during failover.

Here is a config:

Hi All,

I have few doubts on VRRP.

Which kernel version is supports VRRP- VMAC? How to enable VRRP-VMAC on interface(expecting VRRP behavior in kernel itself)?

I have tried with netlink socket ( as per Keepalived daemon tool), but I am getting error "file already exists".

I am suspecting, when I check with Keepalived daemon code and kernel 2.6.30......
