Configure LVS (Linux Virtual Server)2016/01/11

Configure LVS (Linux Virtual Server) to build a load barancer.
This example is based on the environment below.

        |
--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        +-------------------+--------------------+
        |10.0.0.40(VIP)     |                    |
    eth0|10.0.0.30      eth0|10.0.0.51       eth0|10.0.0.52
 +------+-----+     +-------+------+     +-------+------+

 |            |     |  Web Server  |     |  Web Server  |
 +------------+     +--------------+     +--------------+

	HTTP packets to 10.0.0.40(VIP) on LVS Server are forwarded to Backend01 and Backend02 Servers with DSR(Direct Server Return).
[1]	Install ipvsadm.

root@dlp:~#

apt-get -y install ipvsadm

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/default/ipvsadm

# change

AUTO="

true

# change

DAEMON="

master

# change to the interface to use

IFACE="

eth0

root@dlp:~#

/etc/init.d/ipvsadm start

[2]	Configure virtual IP address on LVS Server.

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/network/interfaces

# add to the end

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 10.0.0.40
network 10.0.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0

root@dlp:~#

ifup eth0:0

root@dlp:~#

ip addr show eth0

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP< mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:39:8a:e6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.30/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 10.0.0.40/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global secondary eth0:0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe39:8ae6/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

[3]	For DSR mode, return packets from backends to clients are directly returned, so it's nesessary to configure following settings. Set it on all backend servers.

# specify virtual IP address

root@node01:~#

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.0.0.40 -j REDIRECT

[4]	Configure Load Balancing settings on LVS server.

# clear tables

root@dlp:~#

ipvsadm -C

# add virtual service

# [ ipvsadm -A -t (Service IP:Port) -s (Distribution method) ]

root@dlp:~#

ipvsadm -A -t 10.0.0.40:80 -s rr

# add backend real servers

# [ ipvsadm -a -t (Service IP:Port) -r (Real Server's IP:Port) -g ]

root@dlp:~#

ipvsadm -a -t 10.0.0.40:80 -r 10.0.0.51:80 -g

root@dlp:~#

ipvsadm -a -t 10.0.0.40:80 -r 10.0.0.52:80 -g

# confirm tables

root@dlp:~#

ipvsadm -l

[5]	It's OK, Access to the Service IP address and make sure it works normally.

By the way, there are some Distribution method like follows.

Method	Description
rr	Robin Robin distributes jobs equally amongst the available real servers.
wrr	Weighted Round Robin assigns jobs to real servers propor-tionally to there real servers' weight. Servers with higher weights receive new jobs first and get more jobs than servers with lower weights. Servers with equal weights get an equal dis-tribution of new jobs.
lc	Least-Connection assigns more jobs to real servers with fewer active jobs.
wlc	Weighted Least-Connection assigns more jobs to servers with fewer jobs and relative to the real servers' weight (Ci/Wi). This is the default.
lblc	Locality-Based Least-Connection assigns jobs destined for the same IP address to the same server if the server is not overloaded and available, otherwise assign jobs to servers with fewer jobs, and keep it for future assignment.
lblcr	Locality-Based Least-Connection with Replication assigns jobs destined for the same IP address to the least-con- nection node in the server set for the IP address. If all the node in the server set are over loaded, it picks up a node with fewer jobs in the cluster and adds it in the sever set for the target. If the server set has not been modified for the speci-fied time, the most loaded node is removed from the server set, in order to avoid high degree of replication.
dh	Destination Hashing assigns jobs to servers through looking up a statically assigned hash table by their destination IP addresses.
sh	Source Hashing assigns jobs to servers through looking up a statically assigned hash table by their source IP addresses.
sed	Shortest Expected Delay assigns an incoming job to the server with the shortest expected delay. The expected delay that the job will experience is (Ci + 1) / Ui if sent to the ith server, in which Ci is the number of jobs on the the ith server and Ui is the fixed service rate (weight) of the ith server.
nq	Never Queue assigns an incoming job to an idle server if there is, instead of waiting for a fast one, if all the servers are busy, it adopts the Shortest Expected Delay policy to assign the job.
