pulse SIOCGIFADDR failed error on startup

Fri Oct 5 20:40:50 UTC 2007

Hi Matt

I would consider running netstat to ensure that some other process is not already bound to the port(80) 

Also ( if you aren't doing so )  please consider  using  the "-v" verbose/debug  flag in the pulse startup script:

daemon pulse -v

and monitor /var/log/messages to see if  the underlying cause of 
>> SIOCGIFADDR failed: Cannot assign requested address
is disclosed therein.

When I start pulse (either the rc script or from command line) I get a
SIOCGIFADDR failed error.

When I run pulse from the command line:
/usr/sbin/pulse -c /etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf -n -v

Here's the output: (I've replaced the actual public VIP that I'm using
with ):

My kernel is: 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 
I'm running piranha.x86_64 version 0.8.4-7.el5
I've trimmed down the lvs conf file to a minimum and I've turned off
SELinux.

Here's the lvs.cf file I'm using (replaced the public VIP with  and
the primary public ip of the director with 
)

serial_no = 51
primary = 

primary_private = 10.3.1.1
service = lvs
backup_active = 0
heartbeat = 0
heartbeat_port = 539
keepalive = 6
deadtime = 18
network = direct
debug_level = NONE
monitor_links = 0
virtual wwwlb.mydomain.com {
     active = 1
     address =  bond0.2:0
     vip_nmask = 255.255.255.224
     port = 80
     send = "GET http://www.mydomain.com/ HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
     expect = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
     use_regex = 0
     load_monitor = none
     scheduler = wlc
     protocol = tcp
     timeout = 6
     reentry = 15
     quiesce_server = 0
     server ca1-web1 {
         address = 10.3.1.3
         active = 1
         weight = 1
     }
}

Here are the relevant network interfaces:

bond0.2   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:48:34:2C:D8 
          inet addr: 
  Bcast:

          RX bytes:369502 (360.8 KiB)  TX bytes:264616 (258.4 KiB)

------

I can tell that this error is coming from the getInterfaceAddress()
function in pulse.c, and I'm wondering if this has to do with the fact
that I'm using a vlan interface on top of a bonded link (bond0.2:0 being
the network interface name)?

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
