To start the LVS cluster, it is best to have two root terminals
open simultaneously or two simultaneous root open ssh sessions to the primary LVS router.
In one terminal, watch the kernel log messages with the
command:
tail -f /var/log/messages
|
Then start the cluster by typing the following command into the
other terminal:
/sbin/service pulse start
|
Follow the progress of the pulse
service's startup in the terminal with the kernel log messages.
When you see the following output, the pulse daemon has started
properly:
gratuitous lvs arps finished
|
To stop watching /var/log/messages,
type [Ctrl]-[c].
From this point on, the primary LVS router is also the active
LVS router. While you can make requests to the cluster at this
point, you should start the backup LVS router before putting the
cluster into service. To do this, simply repeat the process
described above on the backup LVS router node.
After completing this final step, the cluster will be up and
running.
