wackatrl8
Ip-failover high-availability controller
Usage
wackatrl [-c
config_file]
[{-l | -f | -s}]
Overview
wackatrl runs the wackatrl IP-failover HA controller and instructs the currently running Wackamole instance to perform an action or display state information.
Options
-
-c config-file -
Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of wackamole.conf.
-
-l -
Lists the current state (ownership) of virtual interfaces.
-
-f -
Simulate a failure. The local instance will disconnect from Spread and act as if it has failed by dropping its managed interfaces and running whatever dynamic calls have been configured. A peer, should one exist, will assume the responsibility for the interfaces that were dropped.
-
-s -
Recover from a simulated failure. This will tell the local instance to stop simulating failure. The local instance will reconnect to Spread and once again participate in the peer-based HA environment.
Files
wackamole.conf
The default config file location is dependant on the install prefix. ./wackamole.conf is also searched if a local file is not found.
Diagnostics
All error messages, should any be produced will be written to standard error.
Releases
