From bhalsema at purdue.edu Tue Jan 15 14:15:00 2013 From: bhalsema at purdue.edu (Beth Halsema) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:15:00 -0500 (EST) Subject: Regarding the retirement of Piranha Message-ID: I was working on a post regarding some problems I had run into with the Piranha `pulse` process and multiple virtual IPs (thus multiple alias interfaces) when I found the "Piranha being retired in Fedora 17" post on the lvs-users and piranha-list mailing lists. Am I correct in assuming that RHEL6.3 users should also be looking at something other than the piranha/ipvsadm offering (load balancer add-on)? For instance, keepalived/ipvsadm? Or should I submit a bug report to Red Hat? Thank you in advance, Beth ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beth A.

Even if Piranha is retired, Red Hat will continue to support piranha in RHEL 6(till RHEL 6 EOL) If you have valid Red Hat subscriptions, file a support case with Red Hat support You could also file a bug report keepalived will be included in the upcoming release of RHEL 6 as Technology preview RHEL 6 update 4 beta release note https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/6.4_Technical_Notes/clustering_tp.html Red Hat will support both keepalived and piranha -- Ranjith Rajaram RHCA, RHCDS Team Lead,Sr.Technical Account Manager, Global Support Services. */"Developing Software is humane but supporting them is divine"/* From lhh at redhat.com Thu Jan 17 17:35:55 2013 From: lhh at redhat.com (Lon Hohberger) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:35:55 -0500 Subject: Regarding the retirement of Piranha In-Reply-To: <50F57634.5040005@redhat.com> References: <50F57634.5040005@redhat.com> Message-ID: <50F8367B.9060703@redhat.com> On 01/15/2013 10:31 AM, Ranjith Rajaram wrote: > Beth, > > On 01/15/2013 07:45 PM, Beth Halsema wrote: >> I was working on a post regarding some problems I had run into with >> the Piranha `pulse` process and multiple virtual IPs (thus multiple >> alias interfaces) when I found the "Piranha being retired in Fedora 17" >> post on the lvs-users and piranha-list mailing lists. >> >> Am I correct in assuming that RHEL6.3 users should also be looking at >> something other than the piranha/ipvsadm offering (load balancer >> add-on)?
