First question: what's pulse? It certainly isn't part of LVS. As far as 
I can tell it's part of the (RedHat) piranha package, of which I have 
zero experience.

Second question: is pulse supposed to manage your VIP assignments? From 
reading 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/s1-lvs-block-diagram.html#S3-LVS-PULSE 
it appears that this is the case, but again as I have no experience of 
it I can only go with what's written there.

Having a scoot through the docs there, it looks to me like pulse does 
many jobs but on is to manage your VIP assignments and create 
interfaces/ip address entries accordingly. And of note is the following: 
"Do not configure the floating IP for eth0:1 or eth1:1 by manually 
editing network scripts or using a network configuration tool."

I wonder if you have an IP you're trying to use as a VIP which is 
manually applied, and therefore pulse is failing to complete its' 
assignments? I think you'd best look in your various logfiles for that.
