Making Virtual IP addresses reachable

About this task

For running AE Services in GRHA mode post AE Services Servers are installed in Openstack, complete the following steps to make virtual IP address reachable:

noteNote

This configuration must be completed by your Openstack administrator.

Procedure

  1. Reserve the Virtual IP. Complete the Attach-Interface procedure on one of the AE Services servers.
  2. On the Openstack Instances page, select the Action Attach Interface from the drop down menu for the newly created instance.
    noteNote

    The above location might be different, depending on your version of OpenStack.

  3. Using the OpenStack dashboard, acquire the network port ID associated with AES-1 server and AES-2 server.
  4. Login to the OpenStack controller using CLI.
  5. Run the following commands:
    1. source openrc
      noteNote

      Update all login-related data in this file, so that next two commands run successfully. The next port-update commands must contain login-related data.

    2. neutron port-update <port-id AES-1>--allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=<virtual-ip-address>
    3. neutron port-update <port-id AES-2>--allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=<virtual-ip-address>

Example

See an example below:

neutron port-update 1a523c2f-a6b4-4ee1-9ace-b877a60a131e --allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=192.168.121.16

neutron port-update ae0cc604-a040-4f31-83e7-d24f110f9ff1 --allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=192.168.121.16
