Re: [FW-1] NG FP3 New HA Cluster Question



Hi

I've have the same configuration, but I'm using load-sharing, and the
same version and hardware. And the same ping problem. When the ping to
the cluster ip works, the one to the fw ip does not work...and the
reverse, whe the ping to the fw ip works, to the virtual ip fails. And
just waiting a couple of minutes and if you ping first to the fw ip it
works, but then the other does not. ..... It always works the first you try.

I've some other problems that make me think about CP stability. For
instance, the famous "connection to www server failed", when using http
security server. I've learned to ignore users claims, because I just
have to wait for the next day, without doing anything at all concerning
this problem. "It'll work tomorrow, sure". I've seen it many times...


Regards.

What type of hardware is this running on?


If you truly are running clustering on a nokia and not VRRP HA, then you will not be able to ping the Virtual addresses. This is, IMHO, a major problem with running clustering in the current generation of the ipso based clustering.
