Hi all,

I have a 2-node system (SC-1, SC-2) that requires an alias IP (points to the 
active application that's also runs on these nodes).
If SC-1 is up and running, as well as the application, the alias IP has been 
added to eth0.

When an application si-swap is performed, the application deletes the alias IP 
on SC-1.
Likewise, when it goes active on SC-2, it will add the alias IP to SC-2's 
device (eth0).

The issue I have, is when SC-2 comes up, I found that the connection between 
SC-2's TCP port 6700 is to SC-1's alias IP.
So, when the si-swap is performed, the alias IP gets deleted as part of the 
application being stopped on SC-1.
As a result, the connection between the 2 nodes is gone: osafdtmd generates a 
log stating a loss of connection. End result is split-brain.

Now, if SC-2 comes up without the application enabled on SC-1, the alias IP has 
yet to be added, so the connection between the nodes' port 6700 is actually 
with the node's IP address.  I can enforce this on the initial setup, but if 
one of the opensaf processes on a nodes goes for a restart or if a node 
reboots, since the alias IP exists, upon coming up, the newly started opensaf 
will have a connection to the alias IP.

Long story short, is there anything within the DTM area that could help me in 
preventing opensaf sending outbound messages over the alias IP instead of the 
node IP?


Setup:
2 nodes: SC-1,SC-2
Running opensaf-5.19.10

Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.8 (Maipo)
Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64

Regards,
David
