Hey guys, I'm trying to install keepalived 1.2.19 on a centos 6.5 machine. I did an install from source. And when I start keepalived this is what I'm seeing in the logs. It's reporting that the VRRP_Instance(VI_1) Now in FAULT state. Here's more of that log entry: Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: VRRP Instance = VI_1 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Using VRRPv2 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Want State = MASTER Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Runing on device = eth1 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Gratuitous ARP repeat = 5 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Gratuitous ARP refresh repeat = 1 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Virtual Router ID = 51 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Priority = 101 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Advert interval = 1 sec Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Accept disabled Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Virtual IP = 1 Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: 10.40.116.34/32 dev eth1 scope global Sep 29 12:06:58 USECLSNDMNRDBA Keepalived_vrrp[44943]: Using LinkWatch kernel netlink reflector...

Also I can't ping the virtual address that I'm trying to create: # ping -c 5 10.40.116.34 PING 10.40.116.34 (10.40.116.34) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 10.40.116.30 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 10.40.116.30 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable >From 10.40.116.30 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable >From 10.40.116.30 icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable --- 10.40.116.34 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 14001ms pipe 3 Here are my configs starting with the first machine: # cat keepalived.conf vrrp_instance VI_1 { interface eth1 state MASTER virtual_router_id 51 priority 101 # 101 on master, 100 on backup vrrp_unicast_bind 10.40.116.30 # Internal IP of this machine vrrp_unicast_peer 10.40.116.31 # Internal IP of peer virtual_ipaddress { 10.40.116.34 } And here's the config on the second machine: # cat /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf vrrp_instance VI_1 { interface eth1 state MASTER virtual_router_id 51 priority 100 # 101 on master, 100 on backup vrrp_unicast_bind 10.40.116.31 # Internal IP of this machine vrrp_unicast_peer 10.40.116.30 # Internal IP of peer virtual_ipaddress { 10.40.116.34 } Does anyone have any experience in solving this kind of problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be great. Thanks, Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
