IP Recovery
Kit impact
on routing
table
LifeKeeper-protected IP addresses are implemented on Linux as logical interfaces.
When a logical interface is configured on Linux, a route to the subnet associated
with the logical interface is automatically added to the routing table, even if a route
to that subnet already exists (for example, through the physical interface). This
additional route to the subnet could possibly result in multiple routing-table entries
to the same subnet.
If an application is inspecting and attempting to verify the address from which
incoming connections are made, the multiple routing-table entries could cause
problems for such applications on other systems (non-LifeKeeper installed) to
which the LifeKeeper system may be connecting. The multiple routing table entries
can make it appear that the connection was made from the IP address associated
with the logical interface rather than the physical interface.
IP subnet
mask
For IP configurations under LifeKeeper protection, if the LifeKeeper-protected IP
address is intended to be on the same subnet as the IP address of the physical
interface on which it is aliased, the subnet mask of the two addresses must be the
same. Incorrect settings of the subnet mask may result in connection delays and
failures between the LifeKeeper GUI client and server.
EEpro100
driver
initialization
The Intel e100 driver should be installed to resolve initialization problems with the
eepro100 driver on systems with Intel Ethernet Interfaces. With the eepro100
driver, the following errors may occur when the interface is started at boot time and
repeat continuously until the interface is shut down.
eth0: card reports no Rx buffers
eth0: card reports no resources

Database
initialization
files
The initialization files for databases need to be either on a shared device and
symbolically linked to specified locations in the local file system or kept on
separate systems and manually updated on both systems when changes need to
be implemented.
