Hello,
I'm a perfect newbie with Openvswtich, read the reference manual and try
to configure LACP Failover with 2 VMs under VirtualBox :
Host : Fedora 17 (kernel 3.4.6-2) + Openvswitch 1.4.0
Guests : Windows 2008R2 with 2 NICs Intel Pro 1000 MT and Linux Debian 6
with 1 NIC Intel Pro 1000 MT
On the host:
- loaded openvswitch module
- enabled 3 TAP interfaces
- launched ovsdb-server
- launched ovs-vswitchd
- created a bridge
- inserted TAP NIC of Linux guest
- created a bond with the 2 TAP NICs of Win guest
- activated LACP for this bond
- enabled LACP mode fast
On the guest :
- Installed and configured client LACP driver with 802.3ad
At this step, the 2 VMs can ping each other, but if I :
- play with ovs-appctl bond/set-active-slave and change active slave
- or virtually "disconnect" the wire in VirtualBox
- or put a TAP interface down
Failover is detected by Openvswitch and the VM concerned, but
connectivity is lost. Tried also with Linux (bonding module), with
different bond_mode : without success.
I surely missed something. Please, can you help me or point me out to
some link or tutorial or tool to diagnose ???
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
PM
