Hello,

I've encountered this but only once or twice in a year, but indeed when it happen, VIPs stops responding as network devices (router) have updated their arp cache en believe the VIP is on your secondary zlb. Do you have this often? It can eventually happen on network peak or system load peak that vrrp packet are lost/not processed in time, but not frequently.

To mitigate this, you can edit the /etc/init.d/zenloadbalancer file. Search for "ucarp" and add/edit the deadratio. By default (if not specified) it's 3. You may increase it to 5 or even more. (just be aware that it will slow down a little bit the failover in case or real problem)

There are 2 places to add this, here is an example (parameter is "-r 5"):
my @eject = system("$ucarp $ignoreifstate --interface=@cliface[2] --srcip=$lip --vhid=2 --pass=secret --addr=@cliface[1] --upscript=/usr/local/zenloadbalancer/app/zenlatency/zenlatency-start.pl --downscript=/usr/local/zenloadbalancer/app/zenlatency/zenlatency-stop.pl -r 5 -B -f local6");

(more info about ucarp parameter at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/ucarp.8.html)

However note that this workaround is only if you have false positive failover occasionnaly. If it happen often, you likely have another problem to fix.

Regards,

Even after installing VMware tools, updating NTP server the error seems to be reoccurring. We had also got confirmation from Network team that vrrp is not blocked at switch level. But still this error is appearing in /var/log/messages.
Is there any thing else that needs to be checked for arresting this issue?

    check:
    -ntp syncronization
    -if you are working with virtual machines, ensure that the vmware
    tools, xen tools or similar are installed.
    -confirm that switches are nol locking vrrp packages.

        Hello ZenLB Admins,
        We had implemented Zen LB (opensource) v3.03 for loadbalancing
        proxy servers. A virtual IP with L4xNAT profile is being used
        for load balancing 3 servers and there are 2 nodes in the
        cluster (Cluster Type: LB01 or LB02 can be masters).
        We are facing flapping issue between the LB nodes.
        Unfortunately, when this issue occurs the service goes down
        completely. Can someone throw some light on this issue?
        Here are the logs taken from both the LBs:
