Im sorry if this is the wrong mailing list, we appear to be using quite an old version of heartbeat but given the time we have put into it are reluctant to move away from it. Ive posted a job on Elance for anyone interested in doing some work on it to add a new feature to it, below is the job posting -
"Loadbalancer.org write S/W for loadbalancers you can check out our website - www.loadbalancer.org to see what we do. We are looking for a talented C programmer to help us progress the functionality of our product. Currently we use a patched version of heartbeat to control fail-over between our appliances, utilising the functionality of HAResources its given the ability to control the state of IP addresses. Bringing up the floating IP address on one of the 2 nodes that is currently active in the cluster. On restarting the heartbeat process HAResources takes down the interfaces under its control and brings them back up as part of its restart process. What we would like to have is the ability to soft restart heartbeat. So that the interfaces are not taken down on restart but the heartbeat process is restarted enabling the seamless integration of a new node to the cluster or to correct communication problems between the 2 nodes without interrupting live load-balanced services. If the nodes have split brained and the interfaces are live on both appliances a full restart will be required and handling this is not in the remit of this project. We would require a patch or set of patches that enables this functionality based on the source files attached to the job posting. We use Heartbeat-2-1-Stable-2.1.4 as a base but additional patches are used to add other functionality that we have required. These patches are already in the source files provided, but can be available separately on request." We will of course be happy to make the feature public to anyone that wants it. If your interested feel free to contact me directly or via the Elance advert Job ID: 47430875 Thanks Mark Brookes Loadbalancer.org _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
