Virtual IP's

Hi

Can anybody assist me in setting up the hobbitclient for a virtual IP. We
have applications that belong to service-groups with a virtual IP for each
service-group.. We have three clustered servers that these applications
can run on. So does not matter on what server the
service-group/application runs it is always the same IP. I would like the
hobbitclient to follow the virtual IP to what ever machine it is running
on.

Thanks

Hi Henri,

we have all bb-clients (and the server) running as a virtual host. What we did:
Modyfying runclient.sh in the way that clientlaunch is replaced by clientlaunch.${MACHINE}. $MACHINE is the name of the virtual host and is set as you like in a script started by runclient.sh, so every process invokes the virtual hostname. Each client uses its own file clientlaunch.<$MACHINE>.cfg or - if no virtual hostname is set - a common config-file.
This is working fine if only one virtual host is running on the machine. If there are two or more, you'll get errors in the rrd-logs because sometimes the same machine is sending data for different hosts which is not accepted by hobbit. We haven't found a workaround for that, the only way seems to run more then one hobbit installation what we don't want to do.

regards
Rolf

What clustering software are you using? You could make the Hobbit client
a cluster resource, that is part of the service group & dependent on the
virtual IP.

Greetings!

 
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced difficulties with
"qpage" on the AIX platform.  I finally found the solution to the "got
byte: \377" problem in an old message on the Big Brother message board.

 
In "qpage" version 3.3, which is the latest version (although it is
several years old), a minor change has to be made in the source file
"ixo.c".

 
In this file, there is a function named "remote_connect".  In its local
variable declarations, a variable named "c" is cast as a char.  It has
to be changed to an int.

 
Execute a "make clean" and then "make".  It works perfectly after that.

 
I have been using "qpage" on Solaris for over four years and I love it!
But I've been wanting to switch everything to a retired AIX server and
this issue has been making me nuts for months!

 
I hope someone out there finds this information as useful as I did!

Hi

I assume that you have some custom scripts to monitor your service-groups.
- run the hobbit client  on each cluster member
- run the custom-script on each member, but add a function in the script
which checks first if the service-group is active on this cluster member,
==> if yes then go on, made your checks and send the status with the
virtual IP as the "origin".
==> if not then just exit the script and send nothing at all.
