Thanks to all. Everything is working fine when using same vhid on both server (and also when the're no copy/paste not working error for password lol)
I read again the vhid part on carp faqs, both in french and in english and the word "unique" was what confused me. Now that I think about it, I saw that the carp mac address was based on this value and it's logic that it should not change will the other device become master so it don't need a refresh of the arp table of remote device. Thanks again to all for your help. Michel 2012/12/17 Loïc BLOT <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> You need one common VHID for each virtual IP, Stuart said all fixes you need.
