I actually have 2 NICs on the machine and splitting the servers between the 2 physical IP addresses with different multicast addresses works properly.
My delimma is that I have only 2 NICs and I need 3 clusters on the linux box. I have created an additional IP address for one of the NICs using an IP alias. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:41 | inet addr:192.168.1.11 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | inet6 addr: fe80::20f:1fff:fe66:7441/64 Scope:Link | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | RX packets:339235 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:288828 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 | RX bytes:43175205 (41.1 Mb) TX bytes:233529905 (222.7 Mb) | Interrupt:16 Memory:fcf30000-fcf40000 | | eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:41 | inet addr:192.168.1.40 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | Interrupt:16 Memory:fcf30000-fcf40000 | | eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:41 | inet addr:192.168.1.41 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | Interrupt:16 Memory:fcf30000-fcf40000 | | eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:41 | inet addr:192.168.1.42 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | Interrupt:16 Memory:fcf30000-fcf40000 | | eth0:3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:41 | inet addr:192.168.1.43 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | Interrupt:16 Memory:fcf30000-fcf40000 | | eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:66:74:42 | inet addr:192.168.1.12 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | inet6 addr: fe80::20f:1fff:fe66:7442/64 Scope:Link | UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | RX packets:58315 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:138 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 | RX bytes:15660151 (14.9 Mb) TX bytes:8880 (8.6 Kb) | Interrupt:17 Memory:fcf10000-fcf20000 While everything else seems to bind properly to the IP alias on the NIC, the clustering portion of JBoss clusters all server on the physical NIC, regardless of the IP address its bound to. Has anyone sucessfully implemented more than one cluster on the same NIC using an IP alias and what must I change in addition to the mcast_addr and bind_addr in the cluster-service.xml and tc5-cluster-service.xml files? Thanks in advance.
