OLD STYLE works, new pools don't

Juve

Hi all, I'm stuck with a problem on a loadbalancing system.

This system has been installed with 1.0.1. Recently I've reinstalled it with the lastest 1.0.1 snapshot (1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007) and then came the problem.

On this system I have two WAN, the first one is on a pysical interface(bge0), the second one is on a vlan (vlan0).
WAN1(wan) : gateway 10.254.254.1/24
WAN2(opt3) : gateway 192.168.0.249/24

On the 1.0.1 platform the pool looks like:
10.254.254.1|10.254.254.1
192.168.0.249|192.168.0.249

All is fine trafic is balanced.

On the 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007 the pool looks like:
wan|10.254.254.1
opt3|192.168.0.249

Trafic only goes through wan not opt3.

First thing: If I use the configuration backup of the 1.0.1 platform, the pool is recreated and the logs are saying:
"php: : Setting up route with 192.168.0.249 om vlan0 for monitor 192.168.0.249 on gateway 192.168.0.249"
"php: : SLBD pool MULTIWANS is old style. Please recreate"
"php: : Setting up route with 10.254.254.1 om bge1 for monitor 10.254.254.1 on gateway 10.254.254.1"
But it does balance….all is ok except this warning.

Second thing: When using newly created pool (so when trafic isn't balanced) logs are only saying:
"php: : Setting up route with 10.254.254.1 om bge1 for monitor 10.254.254.1 on gateway 10.254.254.1"
there is no line for the second wan.

a full backup file shows:

1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-27-2007 (the one not ok)
<load_balancer><lbpool><type>gateway</type>
<behaviour>balance</behaviour>
<monitorip>10.254.254.1</monitorip>
<name>MULTIWANS</name>
<desc>Balance load over two wans</desc>
<port><servers>opt3|192.168.0.249</servers>
<servers>wan|10.254.254.1</servers></port></lbpool></load_balancer>

1.0.1 (the one ok):

<load_balancer><lbpool><type>gateway</type>
<monitorip>192.168.0.249</monitorip>
<name>MULTIWANS</name>
<desc>Balance load over two wans</desc>
<port><servers>10.254.254.1|10.254.254.1</servers>
<servers>192.168.0.249|192.168.0.249</servers>
<monitor>ICMP</monitor></port></lbpool></load_balancer>

SLBD logs in the two cases:

Apr 23 18:29:40 slbd[1719]: ICMP poll succeeded for 192.168.0.249, marking service UP
Apr 23 18:29:38 slbd[1719]: ICMP poll succeeded for 10.254.254.1, marking service UP
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: VIP 127.0.0.1:666 added real service 192.168.0.249:666
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: VIP 127.0.0.1:666 added real service 10.254.254.1:666
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: VIP 127.0.0.1:666 sitedown at 127.0.0.1:666
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: VIP 127.0.0.1:666 configured as "127.0.0.1"
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: Using configuration file /var/etc/slbd.conf
Apr 23 18:29:36 slbd[1719]: Using r_refresh of 5000 milliseconds

So for the moment I have made a full backup file and I modified the loadbalancer section to use "old style" configuration in order to have a working loadbalancing system. It would be cool if I could make the "new style" work…. If someone has the answer... I 've been reading the other posts for an hour and haven't found the same problem.....

Many thanks.

Go to the command prompt page.
In the execute php section insert the following code.


$status = interface_has_gateway("vlan0");
if($status) echo "true"; else echo "false";

Thanks.

Guess what ! result is "False"!

Normal ?

Try a snapshot about 1-2 hours from now. We just fixed this hopefully.

Do I have to use a 1.2 pre release snapshot or is there a 1.0.1 snapshot somewhere?

Many thanks guys

hoba

Use a 1.2beta1 prerelease.

Juve

Great !

Thanks hoba, scott and databeestje

So I understand it's fixed now?
