Hi, I'm having problems forming a TIPC cluster between 2 nodes.
This is the basic steps I'm going through on each node. modprobe tipc ip link set eth2 up tipc node set addr 1.1.5 # or 1.1.6 tipc bearer enable media eth dev eth0 Then to confirm if the cluster is formed I use tipc link list [root@node-5 ~]# tipc link list broadcast-link: up ... Looking at tcpdump the two nodes are sending packets 22:30:05.782320 TIPC v2.0 1.1.5 > 0.0.0, headerlength 60 bytes, MessageSize 76 bytes, Neighbor Detection Protocol internal, messageType Link request 22:30:05.863555 TIPC v2.0 1.1.6 > 0.0.0, headerlength 60 bytes, MessageSize 76 bytes, Neighbor Detection Protocol internal, messageType Link request Eventually (after a few minutes) the link does come up [root@node-6 ~]# tipc link list broadcast-link: up 1001006:eth2-1001005:eth2: up [root@node-5 ~]# tipc link list broadcast-link: up 1001005:eth2-1001006:eth2: up When I remove the "tipc node set addr" things seem to kick into life straight away [root@node-5 ~]# tipc link list broadcast-link: up 0050b61bd2aa:eth2-0050b61e6dfa:eth2: up So there appears to be some difference in behaviour between having an explicit node address and using the default. Unfortunately our application relies on setting the node addresses. [root@node-5 ~]# uname -a Linux linuxbox 5.2.0-at1+ #8 SMP Thu Jul 25 23:22:41 UTC 2019 ppc GNU/Linux Any thoughts on the problem?
