Multicast working or not?

Hey,

I have two servers with a vswitch setup, and a working vlan for ping (unicast). I want to create a cluster so I can move some VMs around. But no luck after two days of trials.

1. Multicast

Testing with omping results in failure:

# omping -c 10000 -i 0.001 -F -q 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.3
192.168.100.3 : waiting for response msg
192.168.100.3 : waiting for response msg

But, support wanted me to test with another tool. So I used iperf, which seems to work fine (see below).

2. Network setup

hosts file uses pvelocalhost and the vlan addresses for host1-corosync and host3-corosync

192.168.100.1 host1-corosync.example.com host1-corosync
192.168.100.3 host3-corosync.example.com host3-corosync

Created a cluster with
# pvecm create cluster01 -bindnet0_addr 192.168.100.1 -ring0_addr host1-corosync
cluster is created fine

# pvecm status

3. Adding node

Adding host3 to the cluster (on host3):

pvecm add 192.168.100.1 -ring0_addr host3-corosync

(EDIT) this works fine.

4. iperf test
