NAME¶

lvsd - daemon to control the Red Hat clustering services.

SYNOPSIS¶

lvsd [-c cfgfile|--configfile=cfgfile] [-n|--nodaemon] [--nofork] [-t|--test-start] [-?|--help] [--usage] [--version]

DESCRIPTION¶

lvsd reads in the cluster configuration file lvs.cf, calls ipvsadm to maintain the IPVS routing table, and nanny to perform monitoring services.

lvsd is normally started by pulse although it can be run as a command line tool. Similarly, the configuration file that tells lvsd what to do is normally edited by piranha, but it can be manually edited.

All activity from lvsd is logged to syslog (when lvsd is running as a daemon).

OPTIONS¶

-c cfgfile|--configfile=cfgfile

Normally, lvsd uses lvs.cf as its configuration file, but this can be overridden and another file can be used.

-n|--nodaemon

Normally, lvsd runs as a daemon, however using this option, lvsd runs in the foreground. When running in this mode, all its output is sent to STDOUT instead of syslog.

--nofork

Don't fork, but do perform disassociate.

-t|--test-start

Running lvsd is test mode allows the user to monitor what lvsd would actually do. This is only useful during debugging.

-?|--help

Shows a verbose usage listing.

--usage

Outputs a terse argument summary.

--version

Displays program version.
