I have 4 servers using CARP in 2 groups behind a load balancer serving only web traffic no firewall, something like this:
To take advantage of the 2 servers that are in backup mode I am thinking of creating a MASTER of the two backup servers, something like this:
The new master should be created only from the serves that are in backup mode from group 1 and group 2.
Currently, I am configuring each group with something like this:
But wondering how could I create a new
Any ideas?
Code:
Load balancer
G1 / \ G2
Server 1 (M) Server 3 (M)
Server 2 (B) Server 4 (B)
M - CARP MASTER
B - CARP BACKUP
To take advantage of the 2 servers that are in backup mode I am thinking of creating a MASTER of the two backup servers, something like this:
Code:
Load balancer
/ | \
Server 1 (M) | Server 3 (M)
Server 2 (B) | Server 4 (B)
|
Master
Server 1 (B) Server 3(B)
Server 2 (B) Server 4(B)
The new master should be created only from the serves that are in backup mode from group 1 and group 2.
Currently, I am configuring each group with something like this:
Code:
# group 1
inet 10.0.0.10/32 vhid 1 advskew 0 pass secret # server 1
inet 10.0.0.10/32 vhid 1 advskew 100 pass secret # server 2
# group 2
inet 10.0.0.11/32 vhid 1 advskew 0 pass secret # server 3
inet 10.0.0.11/32 vhid 1 advskew 100 pass secret # server 4
But wondering how could I create a new
vhid "10.10.0.12"
only using the backups from G1 and G2.Any ideas?
