Highly Available Storage with CARP problem

Paul-LKW · May 3, 2016

With the version 10.2 released I just tryied the HAST with CARP for ZFS But just followed the Handbook ;

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/carp.html
and
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-hast.html

Since 10.0 there if no more CARP interface and so it seems the failover section could not setup accordingly.

any idea could solve this?

There are new devd events to catch the interface going into carp master|backup mode.
There's an example in the carp man page - https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4

I did raise a bug for this a while ago as the documentation is wrong.

Edit
Here's the bug I raised: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192663
Also the devd.conf man page gives some details on the carp events: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devd.conf&sektion=5

Oh yes, many thanks for your advise. It is true I am overlooked the full new man page.
