Hi guyz,
I have a problem that is not allowing me to sleep soundly at nights.
Keepalived (www.keepalived.org) is software that helps in
LinuxVitualServers for failovers in a High-Availability environment.
Installing this package is easy under FC3, just execute the RPM and
presdo, its done.
But my research involves installing it on FC1 or below, and thats
where the nightmare starts. Until now I have pretty much narrowed it
down to the fact that it is because ethtool (that keepalived depends
upon) reports wrongly. It reports the link is down, when it is not.
The following output is from FC1:
[root@fc1 root]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: Not reported
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: MII
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
Link detected: no
[root@fc1 root]#
I need a way to fix this problem. Can anyone recommend a simple work
around, other than upgrading to another FC :) ?
Thanx
