Chapter 9. Setting Up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux LVS Cluster 113

This saves the settings in /etc/sysconfig/iptables so they can be recalled at boot

time.

Once this ﬁle is written, you are able to use the /sbin/service command

to start, stop, and check the status (using the status switch) of iptables.

The /sbin/service will automatically load the appropriate module for

you. For an example of how to use the /sbin/service command, see

Section 8.3 Starting the Piranha Conﬁguration Tool Service.

Finally, you need to be sure the appropriate service is set to activate on the proper runlevels.

For more on this, see Section 8.1 Conﬁguring Services on the LVS Routers.

The next chapter explains how to use the Piranha Conﬁguration Tool to conﬁgure the

LVS router and describe the steps necessary to active an LVS cluster.
