I'm having a really odd issue, and not sure quite how best to explain it.
As far as I know my setup was working fine with 4.5, and the failover itself
still works without a hitch, it just doesn't seem to want to fail back
anymore.
If the master goes down (say for a reboot), CARP fails over to the secondary
machine as normal, but when the master is back it doesn't fail back to it.
If I force the carp interface down on the backup machine, it fails back over,
but then as soon as I bring those interfaces back up, the BACKUP becomes
master again. I find this strange since the BACKUP still has a much higher
advskew.
I end up rebooting the backup, which seems to put everything in its place.
Very odd issue. Has anyone else encountered this?
Master interface ifconfig:
carp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:02
priority: 0
carp: MASTER carpdev bnx0 vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0
groups: carp
Backup interface ifconfig:
carp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:02
priority: 0
carp: BACKUP carpdev em0 vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 100
groups: carp
