lrmd (heartbeat) is continuously pinging the default gateway

[jnsc]

Hi,

I have a 2 node heartbeat cluster. The network admin told me that gets 20 ping request per second on the gateway from the active node. By looking on the node it's seems like lrmd is pinging the gateway. Both nodes are in the same network, so the gateway should not be used by heartbeat.

The ping function in hs.cf is not enabled. Does everyone know where it can come from? I don't even understand why 20 times per second, as the keepalive is set to 1 second.

I'm a little bit lost, as I don't really know what's happening, So any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post your heartbeat configuration?

[jnsc]

thanks for your reply falko, I should have posted it directlly

here is the grep -v '^#' /etc/ha.d/ha.cf | grep -v '^$' version of the config file:

logfacility     local0
keepalive 1
deadtime 60
warntime 30
initdead 120
udpport 694
bcast   eth2 eth4       # Linux
auto_failback off
node node01.mydomain.net
node node02.mydomain.net
use_logd yes
crm yes

Thanks

Hm... Can you see in the

ps aux

output what process is pinging your gateway?

[jnsc]

I do not have access to the machine right now, but the command was something like ping -c1 -q -n MY_GATEWAY_IP, the PPID was lrmd.

Thanks falko
