Failover across GCP subnets using overlay IP - Linux
InfoScale clusters let you fail over IPs - and thereby, the application configured for HA - between different subnets in the same zone or in different zones.
The following information is required:
The overlay IP address to be used for failover
The device to which the IP should be plumbed
The
oauth2client
and thegoogle-api-python-client
GCP Python modules. For details, see the Bundled Agents Reference Guide - Linux.
The private IP of one subnet cannot be failed over to a different subnet. InfoScale Enterprise provides an overlay IP, which can be used across subnets.
The following graphic depicts a sample failover configuration across subnets within the same zone using an overlay IP:
The sample configuration includes the following elements:
A VPC network is configured in Region A of the Google cloud.
An application is configured for HA using an InfoScale cluster that comprises two nodes, Node 1 and Node 2, which are VM instances.
Node 1 exists in Subnet 1 and Node 2 exists in Subnet 2.
An overlay IP is configured outside the CIDR block of the VPC network to which the cluster nodes belong. This IP is used to fail over from one subnet to another in a zone as part of the failover or the failback operations.
The following snippet is a service group configuration from a sample VCS configuration file (main.cf
):
group oragrp ( SystemList = { cloud-vm1 = 0, cloud-vm2 = 1 } ) GoogleIP gipres ( Device = eth0 OverlayIP = "192.168.10.10" ) IP physipres ( Device = eth0 Address = "192.168.10.10" NetMask = "255.255.255.255" ) NIC nicres ( Device = eth0 ) gipres requires physipres physipres requires nicres
