CARP failing for one VLAN
-
We have multiple VLANs with CARP enabled and they all work fine except for one. I've checked the interface IP / netmask settings, the VIP settings and the CARP settings and can't see anything wrong.
Symptoms: CARP status on Master looks fine (all interfaces are shown as "MASTER", but on Secondary, Status for the interface is blank instead of "BACKUP". Please see screenshot below:
Any ideas where I can look to see what's wrong?
-
Look at the
ifconfigoutput for that interface on both nodes and see what doesn't match. Post them both if you can.You might have a mismatch in interfaces between the nodes.

Thanks for the quick response Derelict! I tried to paste the output here but it gets flagged as spam so I can't post.
Instead I've uploaded the image to dropbox and hope that works:

I was able to resolve this with a reboot today. I had previously tried that but no success, so that's weird. Not sure what changed, but at least it's working now.
-
Right. There was no CARP VIP on the secondary.
A simple edit/save of that VIP on the primary should have taken care of it.
Perhaps XMLRPC sync was not working/connected at the time that VIP was created or something else anomalous happened.
