Hi Guys,
I've encountered a few similar issues everytime I setup a VLM HA cluster.
Below is the description:
- Upon setup the 2nd node of the VLM, after retrieving configuration from the HA partner, I perform a reboot.
- After the reboot, the 2nd VLM will attempt to become the MASTER while the 1st node remain as MASTER.
- When both VLM becomes MASTER, they will not be able to ping each other even though they r on the same network.
- Need to perform numerous reboot or go to the extend to reset to default for the 2nd node and reconfig the HA
- Both VLM are configured with static mac address
- On one occasion, my HA is setup properly and working fine, then I attempt to shutdown one of the VLM. The standby VLM will turn MASTER (Working normally). But when I power on the previous shutdown VLM, it attempt to turn itself into MASTER (Now 2 nodes becomes MASTER)
I've tested before for the HA functionalities so I'm puzzled why this issue still occurs.
*Encounter on both HyperV environment and VMware environment.
Would like to know what can be the possible caused? Will there be additional configuration to be perform on VMware Vswitches or physical network?
I understand that in HyperV environment you will require to turn on MAC spoofing but there is no similar settings in VMware except enabling Promiscuous mode
Please assist
Thanks
