[Linux-cluster] Problem with loadbalancer

[Huesser Peter]

Hello

 

I just started learning how to do loadbalancing using LVS and piranha.
As an example I wanted to have a loadbalancer running in front of one
webserver (testing). I want to use direct routing. The IP of the
loadbalancer is e.g. 236.25.1.1 the one of the webserver is 236.25.1.2
(web01) and the VIP is 236.25.1.3. Here is the lvs.cf file I created
with the aid of piranha_gui:

 

serial_no = 67

primary = 236.25.1.1

service = lvs

backup_active = 0

backup = 0.0.0.0

heartbeat = 1

heartbeat_port = 539

keepalive = 6

deadtime = 18

network = direct

debug_level = NONE

monitor_links = 0

virtual webserver {

     active = 1

     address = 236.25.1.3 eth0:1

     vip_nmask = 255.255.255.0

     port = 80

     send = "GET / HTTP/1.0rnrn"

     expect = "HTTP"

     use_regex = 0

     load_monitor = ruptime

     scheduler = wlc

     protocol = tcp

     timeout = 6

     reentry = 15

     quiesce_server = 1

     server web01 {

         address = 236.25.1.2

         active = 1

         weight = 1

     }

}

 

-          The webservice on web01 is running correctly.

-          I can ping the VIP 236.25.1.3.

-          The output of "/sbin/ip addr" looks fine: the interface eth0
has the rigth secondary IP.

-          If I run "tcpdump host web01" I see that there is some
communication (eg a "GET / HTTP/1.0") between the loadbalancer and
web01.

-          The output of "/sbin/sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward" is
"net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1".

 

But if I try to connect to the VIP on port 80 I get a "connection
refused". Something is wrong but what? In the /var/log/messages I have a
lot of the following lines:

 

Sep 24 00:09:35 loadbalancer nanny[3925]: READ to 236.25.1.2:80 timed
out

Sep 24 00:09:47 loadbalancer nanny[3925]: READ to 236.25.1.2:80 timed
out

 

Some idea where I have to look for to solve the problem?

 

By the way: how can I increase the debuglevel? As far as I have seen it
is not possible with GUI.

 

Thanks' in advance

 

            Pedro
