I read the documentation again, and took this sentence to heart: 7.4. ipvsadm gives wierd erroneous output
Symptom: you get inpropriate characters, numbers for IPs, ports, services in the output of ipvsadm Problem: your ipvsadm doesn't match the version of ip_vs. (You may have forgotten to compile the new version of ipvsadm after rebooting the computer following loading the LVS-patched kernel and you're using an old ipvsadm). Solution: get the ipvsadm that matches your ip_vs. I had: kernel: 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 (from Redhat) ipvsadm-1.25-9.el6.x86_64 from Centos 6 But the CentOS kernel in the same repository as ipvsadm is kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.rpm on RHEL I have this older kernel of the same generation: 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 When I rebooted with it, the LVS worked!!!!! Thanks for the help, Joseph. It encouraged me that you responded, and made me read the manual again. _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
