Bonding, IP alias, Virtual IP, 2 nodes cluster
Hi ! I have a simple setup of 2 PC (with linux Red-Hat) where the first PC is the primary machine and the second the backup. I use DRBD for data replication and Red-Hat cluster suite for HA (High Availability). I have tested both.

Now I NEED a COMMON IP ADDRESS (or Master/unique IP address) for my two system. When the primary machine fails (or shutdown), the backup system will do the job. From the external world, client who connect to my cluster will "connect to one address" or virtual IP and won't know if this is the primary system or the backup.

For now, my 2 machines have the same /etc/hosts file:

which contains: 10.60.1.23 PrimaryMachine
10.60.1.77 BackupMachine

Maybe I need to change the IP address for something local (192.168.1.0), I don't know. Theses address where created dynamically I think with DHCP when I installed Red-Hat on both machine.

I red many document about BONDING, IP ALIAS and VIRTUAL IP but now I am LOST !!!

What I do really need (keep it as simple as possible) and how to do it ???

Thank you very much.

ipcalc

IPCALC(1)						      General Commands Manual							 IPCALC(1)

NAME

       ipcalc - perform simple manipulation of IP addresses

SYNOPSIS

       ipcalc [OPTION]... <IP address>[/prefix] [netmask]

DESCRIPTION

       ipcalc provides a simple way to calculate IP information for a host.  The various options specify what information ipcalc should display on
       standard out. Multiple options may be specified.  An IP address to operate on must always be specified.	Most  operations  also	require  a
       netmask or a CIDR prefix as well.

OPTIONS

       -c, --check
	      Validate the IP address under the specified family.  If no address family is specified, IPv4 is assumed.

       -4, --ipv4
	      Specify IPv4 address family (default).

       -6, --ipv6
	      Specify IPv6 address family.

       -b, --broadcast
	      Display the broadcast address for the given IP address and netmask.

       -h, --hostname
	      Display the hostname for the given IP address.

       -m, --netmask
	      Calculate  the netmask for the given IP address. It assumes that the IP address is in a complete class A, B, or C network. Many net-
	      works do not use the default netmasks, in which case an inappropriate value will be returned.

       -p, --prefix
	      Show the prefix for the given mask/IP address.

       -n, --network
	      Display the network address for the given IP address and netmask.

       -s, --silent
	      Don't ever display error messages.
