[SSI] SSI and LVS

[Aneesh K. K.V <ane...@di...>]

Hi, 

 I have posted the patches at the following URL. 

http://ssic-linux.sourceforge.net/contrib/Configure.help.lvs.ci
http://ssic-linux.sourceforge.net/contrib/Configure.help.lvs.ssi
http://ssic-linux.sourceforge.net/contrib/ksyms.c.lvs.ssi
http://ssic-linux.sourceforge.net/contrib/linux-2.4.16-ipvs-1.0.2.patch

the ipvs patch contain the ipvs-1.0.2 patch  and the 
hidden-forward_shared-noarp-2.4.16-1.diff 
 

HOWTO build. 

 download the linux kernel 2.4.16 from kernel.org
 Apply the linux-2.4.16-ipvs-1.0.2.patch to the kernel tree. 
( From here onwards follow the cluster build procedure )
 Apply the UML patch ( neglect the error )
 cp the ci and ssi sources from the sand box.

 cp -alf <path-ci>/ci-kernel/. . 
 cp -alf <path-ssic-linux>/ssi-kernel/. . 

download  Configure.help.lvs.* file  and ksyms.c.lvs.ssi 
If you are building only CI  replace the  Documentation/Configure.help 
in the linux kernel source with Configure.help.lvs.ci
 cp Configure.help.lvs.ci <path-linux-sour>/Documentation/Configure.help

If building SSI kernel 
cp Configure.help.lvs.ssi <path-linux-sour>/Documentation/Configure.help
cp  ksyms.c.lvs.ssi  <path-linux-sour>/kernel/ksyms.c 


After that Configure the kernel looking into information from SSI and
LVS website.

Once the cluster boots, you can configure the LVS  by following the
steps specified at the 
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/mini-HOWTO/LVS-mini-HOWTO.html


Status 
I haven't tried building  a CI LVS setup. Hopefully it should work. 
Successfully configured SSI with LVS using VS-DR forwarding. 


If you run into problems  Please let me know
