Hi all,
I'm working on linux HA. At the moment I've got something like this:
---------------------------------------
| | Public net
[ # 1 ] [ # 2 ]
| | Private net
---------------------------------------
Let's descibe it:
I've got 2 hosts with each 2 network card's. One for the pivate net (heartbeat) and
one for the public net (where the service comes out). One host is master, the other
backup. When a server comes up, it checks whether to see if there's already a host
active (this must be the master), when this is not the case, it go's backup. The
method I use to see if there's antoher host is that I try to ping it or whatever.
Problem is: How do I know that is isn't my own networkcard that is broken, in that
case I don't want the machine to anything further (like shutting the other one off
because it can't reach it).
SO, my dear freaks... Does anyone know a solution for this nice heavy problem??
Please mail directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because my procmail saves all data from linux-raid
to an file...
Tnkz + Grtz
