Disregard, this problem has been semi-solved. For reasons unknown now it was
due to carp send error penalties being applied to one of the servers, which are
added to the advskew.
Since a lagg interface is involved:
carp: demoted by 10 to 10 (send error 50 on lagg0)
carp: demoted by 10 to 20 (send error 50 on lagg0)
But what is strange is that the two servers in the VHID have the same exact
hardware. Experiencing this send error on one but not the other…
Ultimately the work around was adjusting
net.inet.carp.senderr_demotion_factor -> 10
From it’s default of 240.
Since these errors appear only at startup and not incrementing, it doesn’t
really look like a problem.
net.inet.carp.ifdown_demotion_factor: 240
net.inet.carp.senderr_demotion_factor: 10
net.inet.carp.demotion: 20
