Description Ferenc Antal 2009-10-01 09:37:41 UTC
Description of problem:
Cluster IP resource brings up an IP address without prior checking. If the IP remains live on other cluster member it leads to IP address collision.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rgmanager-2.0.52-1.el5

How reproducible:
Starting a cluster service with an IP resource while that IP address exists on the network.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create cluster service with IP resource
2. Bring up the same IP address manually on nodeB
3. Start the service on nodeA
  
Actual results:
Service brings up the IP address and IP address collision occurs on the network.

Expected results:
/usr/share/cluster/ip.sh should check an IP address presence before bringing up an IP address. If the IP address is responding it should block the service avoiding IP address collision.

suggested patch for ip.sh to avoid IP address collisions

This patch inserts ping check into ip.sh prior to IP address activation.

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2009-10-16 21:50:30 UTC
I would change the 'notice' to 'debug', otherwise the patch is good.

Comment 3 Ferenc Antal 2009-10-22 08:45:00 UTC
Would you like me to replace 'notice' to 'debug' and upload the modified one?

Comment 4 Lon Hohberger 2009-10-27 19:45:40 UTC
No, it's fine.  If you're okay with that small change I will just commit the patch with the minor change with you as the author.
