AIX MPIO and EMC
We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work. Remember we are using EMC's DMX3500 storage system. We no longer want to use Powerpath.

Hi
I would like to ask what the benefits are of changing from RDAC to MPIO when connecting to a DS4000 on AIX 5.3? I have heard that IBM MPIO "might" support more than 1 active path to a LUN when connecting to a DS4800 through more than 1 host connection on the same AIX client. I understand that... (8 Replies)

Hi folks,
does anybody have a link to a documentation how to implement native MPIO on AIX? We are using EMC PowerPath and Datacore SanSymphony/Cambex for this so far and I wasn't able to find a good description on that topic. All I know so far is that mkpath, chpath and lspath are used to... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I was trying to uninstall the native MPIO driver on the AIX 6.1 machine we have in our lab and ran into a whole bunch dependent filesets initially. I deleted the disks, fcsX, fscsiX, fcnetX and tried again, but ran into the same error.
Subsequently, I figured out that the OS disks in... (4 Replies)

Hi All..
On to a new implementation with AIX 7.1 san boot from EMC disks (Using NPIV). Anyone played with this recently?
Wondering if we need PowerPath on the AIX clients or has native MPIO matured to replace it. Thoughts?
Thanks

keepalived
KEEPALIVED(8) System Manager's Manual KEEPALIVED(8)
NAME
keepalived - load-balancing and high-availability service
SYNOPSIS
keepalived [-f|--use-file=FILE] [-P|--vrrp] [-C|--check] [-l|--log-console] [-D|--log-detail] [-S|--log-facility={0-7}]
[-V|--dont-release-vrrp] [-I|--dont-release-ipvs] [-R|--dont-respawn] [-n|--dont-fork] [-d|--dump-conf] [-p|--pid=FILE]
[-r|--vrrp_pid=FILE] [-c|--checkers_pid=FILE] [-v|--version] [-h|--help]
DESCRIPTION
Keepalived provides simple and robust facilities for load-balancing and high-availability. The load-balancing framework relies on
well-known and widely used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 load-balancing. Keepalived implements a set of
checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage load-balanced server pool according their health. Keepalived also implements the
VRRPv2 protocol to achieve high-availability with director failover.
OPTIONS
-f, --use-file=FILE
Use the specified configuration file. The default configuration file is "/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf".
-P, --vrrp
Only run the VRRP subsystem. This is useful for configurations that do not use IPVS load balancer.
-C, --check
Only run the healthcheck subsystem. This is useful for configurations that use the IPVS load balancer with a single director with no
failover.
-l, --log-console
Log messages to the local console. The default behavior is to log messages to syslog.
-D, --log-detail
Detailed log messages.
-S, --log-facility=[0-7]
Set syslog facility to LOG_LOCAL[0-7]. The default syslog facility is LOG_DAEMON.
-V, --dont-release-vrrp
Don't remove VRRP VIPs and VROUTEs on daemon stop. The default behavior is to remove all VIPs and VROUTEs when keepalived exits
-I, --dont-release-ipvs
Don't remove IPVS topology on daemon stop. The default behavior it to remove all entries from the IPVS virtual server table on when
keepalived exits.
-R, --dont-respawn
Don't respawn child processes. The default behavior is to restart the VRRP and checker processes if either process exits.
-n, --dont-fork
Don't fork the daemon process. This option will cause keepalived to run in the foreground.
-d, --dump-conf
Dump the configuration data.
-p, --pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for parent keepalived process. The default pidfile for keepalived is "/var/run/keepalived.pid".
-r, --vrrp_pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for VRRP child process. The default pidfile for the VRRP child process is "/var/run/keepalived_vrrp.pid".
-c, --checkers_pid=FILE
Use specified pidfile for checkers child process. The default pidfile for the checker child process is
"/var/run/keepalived_checkers.pid".
-v, --version
Display the version and exit.
-h, --help
Display this help message and exit.
