[Pacemaker] [LIST:Pacemaker] eth0:0: warning: name may be invalid

[Димитър Бойн]

Thanks a lot!

Indeed! - I do have two interfaces on the same network... :)

Should this inability be considered a bug?

Best Regards!

I might be wrong, but unless you NEED to specify which interface should 
carry your alias, you don't need to specify it at all.  If you only 
specify an address, it will try to find an interface that already has an 
address on the same subnet, and apply your new IP as an alias to that 
interface.  Of course this will fail if you have multiple interfaces on 
the same subnet, but I don't know if you have that situation.

My config looks like this:
<primitive class="ocf" type="IPaddr2" provider="heartbeat" id="ipaddr-nfs1">
  <instance_attributes id="ipaddr-nfs1-ip">
    <nvpair id="nfs1-ip-addr" name="ip" value="xxx.yyy.zzz.112"/>
    </instance_attributes>
</primitive>

It searches for an existing interface where xxx.yyy.zzz.112 would be 
local (in my case that is an interface with an IP of xxx.yyy.zzz.111), 
and adds xxx.yyy.zzz.112 as eth0:0.  This works for me, and I've used 
multiple primitive definitions like this and it adds each interface as 
the next alias number (eth0:0, then eth0:1, then eth0:2), but as things 
move around you are not always guaranteed which alias number this 
interface will get.

So it might be worth a try to just remove your nvpair line that deals 
with the nic.

I do have an older version of some of the software, it may have changed.

-Ty!
