[opensuse-ha] multicast problems with cluster of KVM guests

Hi All, I spent quite some time last week bashing my head against a weird multicast problem. I have openSUSE 12.3 on my desktop, running a cluster of openSUSE 13.1 beta VMs, configured for multicast. After a while one then the other node would start spewing "corosync [TOTEM] Retransmit List: ..." to syslog, and the cluster would break. This seems to be the same issue discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880035 If anyone else hits this problem, you can work around it by running the following command on the host: # echo 1 > /sys/class/net/virbr0/bridge/multicast_querier Substitute your bride interface name for "virbr0" as appropriate. Alternately, configure the cluster to use udpu instead of multicast. I've also added this to the wiki page at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:High_Availability Regards, Tim -- Tim Serong Senior Clustering Engineer SUSE tserong@suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ha+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ha+owner@opensuse.org
