Hi,
I have a rather strange problem when using HA.
Here is a summary of the environment first: -
2 x HP ML150 G5 running ESXi 4.1. Both servers have dual NIC's and the physical switch is configured with multiple VLAN's across the ports used by the ESXi servers. The servers are configured with a DVSwitch with multiple port groups. One of the port groups is configured for VLAN Trunking with the necessary VLAN ID's.
I have two Astaro installs - one on each physical ESXi server. They are both configured the same under VMWare to use four NIC's. NIC1 - internal network, NIC2 - external network, NIC3 - VLAN trunk, NIC4 - heartbeat for HA. On the VLAN trunk NIC, I have four VLAN's running (DMZ1, DMZ2, VLAN40, VLAN100). The NIC's are E1000's on both Astaro boxes. They both have the same RAM, disk, and are running 8.1.
When HA is turned OFF, everything works exactly as it should do - Astaro see's all the VLANs and routes traffic exactly as it should - everything is great [:)]. This applies to whichever ESXi host the VM is running on (I can move it between hosts as I have vMotion configured).
When I turn on HA, that is when it all goes a bit odd. Node 1 of the Astaro HA is on ESXi-Node1, Node 2 of the Astaro HA is on ESXi-Node2. When HA is enabled (using automatic), Astaro gets very confused as to what DMZ1, DMZ2, VLAN40 and VLAN100 are. On Astaro-Node1, it doesn't know what DMZ2 is. On Astaro-Node2, it doesn't know what DMZ is? It's the same with VLAN40 and VLAN100.
If I remove HA from the install - everything returns back to normal.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
