Comment on Ucarp and Solaris Shared-IP Zones by mw46d

I don’t think two zones on the same host could be handled that way. the global zone would not know what to do because all packets would go out/come in through the same interface.

Hi Marco,

thank you very much for this patch! That’s exactly what I was looking for. Just a small question about it: in my test infrastructure, I only have one server running multiple zones and I would like to test Ucarp with two zones running on this same host. So I tried to start two instances of Ucarp as follow (my host is 192.168.12.11, the virtual floating address is 192.168.12.10 and my zones are my-zone-1 and my-zone-2):

======================
./ucarp –nomcast –interface=nge0 –srcip=192.168.12.11 \
–vhid=1 –pass=mypassword –addr=192.168.12.10 \
–upscript=/etc/ucarp/vip-up.sh \
–downscript=/etc/ucarp/vip-down.sh \
–zone=my-zone-1 –xparam=my-zone-1

./ucarp –nomcast –interface=nge0 –srcip=192.168.12.11 \
–vhid=1 –pass=mypassword –addr=192.168.12.10 \
–upscript=/etc/ucarp/vip-up.sh \
–downscript=/etc/ucarp/vip-down.sh \
–zone=my-zone-2 –xparam=my-zone-2
======================

… but unfortunately they don’t see each other’s advertisement. In your opinion, is that a limitation of the multicast/broadcast or would it be possible to handle this particular case with your patch?

Thank you in advance for a short feedback and Best Regards,
FooFoo_2

Thanks for your info. That’s definitely something to look at. But I’ll have to check what it does in an OpenSolaris SPARC environment.

The docs say mostly Intel/AMD and Linux. That would be fine with me, but our production servers are running [Open]Solaris.

I was just running into an alignment bug within the zabbix server:-( Works fine on x86, but not on SPARC. Those things take a long time to track down:-(

This is a very cool combination of ruby and puppet to get things working. Just for reference, there’s another tool you might want to look at that has far more tuning equations and automation of analytics: Kontrollbase – kontrollsoft.com/software-kontrollbase

Darrin, I don’t know. This was written against JSF 1, possibly even prerelease versions. I moved far away from that area now, so I can’t help you much here.

Just tried to get this to work with NetBeans 6.7. The component drops just fine but does not display at runtime.
Any thoughts?
