Control agent fails forwarding message to DHCP server => hot-standby server does not start?
Hi guys,
I have a question as I might not completely understand the concept behind it.
I am running 2 KEA Dhcp servers, one as primary, one as standby. On the primary I have 2 processes: "kea-ctrl-agent" and "kea-dhcp4". Now I stop "kea-dhcp4"... I was assuming that the standby server will pick up serving DHCP requests, but it doesnt. It simply prints:
HA_HEARTBEAT_FAILED heartbeat to dhcp1 (http://192.168.XX.XX:8080/) failed: unable to forward command to the dhcp4 service: No such file or directory. The server is likely to be offline, error code 1
In my opinion in such a case the hot standby server also needs to assume that the primary server is down and needs to be replaced, but obviously, as the control process responds, it does not. Is this expected behavior?
Thanks!
Bye
