The Moved IP is not Activated after Switchover

Valid on Linux

Symptom:

After a successful switchover, when I use Move IP, the moved IP (on the new active server) does not seem to be activated. Although, the operating system shows the IPs are activated and a local ping works as well, I cannot access the IP address from outside the server.

Solution:

The solution is to manually run the ifup command for the moved IP on the new active server after switchover. For example, ifup eth0:1.

Optionally, you can automate this by creating a script and running this script using the RHA user interface after switchover.

To run the script, navigate to HA Properties, Action upon Success, User-Defined Script and then provide the script name with the full path.

The following is an example of a script.

#!/bin/bash
ifup eth0:1
