CARP on 9 and 10 are very different its not a separate interface anymore,

If you want to disable carp just remove it, if however you want for fail

change.

Ok, thanks for confirming that - bit of a shame 'ifconfig carpX down' was a very quick way of temporarily removing CARP (i.e. so the host didn't participate in the pool) for maintenance while leaving the base / parent interface available - and then putting it back 'as-was' with messing around with the other values.

Do you know if there's any interoperability issues having some 9.x and some 10.x sharing the same CARP system?


I'll probably replace with a script to store the skews, push them to a very high value, mark as 'BACKUP' all the VHID's - and something to undo it all again - though actually just removing it might be easier (providing adding it doesn't cause a moment of "I'm MASTER, uh, no, I'm BACKUP").
