LVS cluster and vmware server

[Sebastian Vieira]

Do you mean:

[vmware fysical machine] containing:
- vmware linux/windows guest
- vmware linux/windows guest
...
- vmware linux/windows guest

and on one of the guests you run LVS?

or:

[vmware fysical machine] which runs LVS (so it must be VMWare ESX) and a
some guests?


In the above setup, i can confirm that LVS runs lousy. As soon as one of the
guest hosts pulls a little too much bandwidth or cpu usage, LVS suffers from
it and initiates a failover because the directors can't see eachother
anymore for a certain time period.

The second example i have no experience with, but i can imagine the same
performance loss.

I ran a 2-node LVS-DR (heartbeat/ldirectord) on a vmware esx server for over
a year, and i'm desperate to shut them down and move them onto a stand-alone
fysical machine.

Hope this helps,

Sebastian
