Description

LVS

pulse

This is the controlling process

which starts all other daemons

related to LVS routers. At boot

time, the daemon is started by the

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pulse

script. It then reads the

configuration file

/etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf

On the active LVS router,

pulse

starts the LVS daemon. On the

backup router,

pulse

determines

the health of the active router by

executing a simple heartbeat at a

user-configurable interval. If the

active LVS router fails to respond

after a user-configurable interval, it

initiates failover. During failover,

pulse

on the backup LVS router

instructs the

pulse

daemon on the

active LVS router to shut down all

LVS services, starts the

send_arp

program to reassign the floating IP

addresses to the backup LVS

router’s MAC address, and starts

the

lvs

daemon.

lvsd

The

lvs

daemon runs on the active

LVS router once called by

pulse

It reads the configuration file

/etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf

calls the

ipvsadm

utility to build

and maintain the IPVS routing

table, and assigns a

nanny

process

for each configured LVS service. If

nanny

reports a real server is

down,

lvs

instructs the

ipvsadm

utility to remove the real server

from the IPVS routing table.

ipvsadm

This service updates the IPVS

routing table in the kernel. The

lvs

daemon sets up and administers

LVS by calling

ipvsadm

to add,

change, or delete entries in the

IPVS routing table.
