IP failover with 2 nodes on different subnet: cannot ping virtual IP from second node?

I'm going to setup redundant failover Redmine:

  • another instance was installed on the second server without problem
  • MySQL (running on the same machine with Redmine) was configured as master-master replication

Because they are in different subnet (192.168.3.x and 192.168.6.x), it seems that VIPArip is the only choice.

I can ping 192.168.6.8 from node1 (192.168.3.x):

but cannot ping virtual IP from node2 (192.168.6.x) and outside. Did I miss something?

PS: you probably want to set IP2UTIL=/sbin/ip in the /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/VIPArip resource agent script if you get something like this:

Jun 5 11:08:10 node1 lrmd: [19832]: info: RA output: (VIPArip:stop:stderr) 2012/06/05_11:08:10 ERROR: Invalid OCF_RESK EY_ip [192.168.6.8]

Which router receives RIP updates?

When I start the VIPArip resource, ripd was run with below configuration file (on node1):

/var/run/resource-agents/VIPArip-ripd.conf:

hostname ripd
password zebra
debug rip events
debug rip packet
debug rip zebra
log file /var/log/quagga/quagga.log
router rip
!nic_tag
 no passive-interface lo:0
 network lo:0
 distribute-list private out lo:0
 distribute-list private in lo:0
!metric_tag
 redistribute connected metric 3
!ip_tag
access-list private permit 192.168.6.8/32
access-list private deny any
