Hello,
I'm having a rather odd issue. I'm trying to setup a redundant pair of mobility master controllers along with a redundant pair of mobility controllers, all running on a VmWare ESX environment. I'm using the instructions on the Airheads Broadcasting Channel (youtube) as a guideline. My MMs seem to be working fine, they can ping each other, one sees itself as master, the other as backup. From my workstation, I can ping each MM IP address, along with the VRRP IP. No issues. I can fail over, and no issues.
However, when I bring up a VMC, I'm having odd connectivity issues. Sometimes I can ping 1 MM and not the other, sometimes I can ping the 2nd MM and not the first. Of course, sometimes the VRRP IP is pingable, other times not (depending on which MM I can ping and which one is the master).
I've been researching this, to no avail. I've set all the VMWare options (promiscuous mode, mac address changes, forced transmits), but it doesn't make a difference. I've torn down and rebuilt the VMC, sometimes with the port in access mode, other times in trunk mode, no difference.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Dave
