Hi!
Here is another bugreport from one of our Debian users.

I have similar output on servers running Linux Virtual Server [1] and
HP ServiceGuard [2], e.g. like this for LVS:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ip addr ls
...
12: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
link/ether 00:11:43:de:74:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet x.y.z.47/25 brd x.y.z.127 scope global bond1
inet x.y.z.20/32 scope global bond1
inet x.y.z.50/32 scope global bond1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #
So this is a more or less common setup on Linux
cluster-solutions. I've tried a bit with cfengine 2.2.3, and it's the
last IP listed by 'ip addr ls' that cfengine store in the
global.ipv4[ethX]-variable:
sue:~# ip addr ls
...
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
qlen 1000
link/ether 00:13:ce:a4:e3:e4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.101/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth1
inet 192.168.0.199/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global secondary
eth1
inet6 fe80::213:ceff:fea4:e3e4/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
sue:~# cfagent -d3 | grep ipv4
...
590 : ipv4_2[eth1]=192.168
1895 : ipv4[eth1]=192.168.0.199
2100 : ipv4_1[eth1]=192
4049 : ipv4_3[eth1]=192.168.0
sue:~#
I agree with Chun Tian that the first IP-address listed by
'ip addr ls' should be the one picked up for global.ipvx[ethX], at
least with these kinds of Linux cluster-solutions in mind. What do you
think?
Marry christmas! :)
