Linux Virtual Server Administration Gui; Control/Monitoring - Red Hat CLUSTER SUITE - FOR RHEL 4 Overview

40 Chapter 1. Red Hat Cluster Suite Overview

1.10. Linux Virtual Server Administration GUI

This section provides an overview of the LVS configuration tool available with Red Hat
Cluster Suite — the Piranha Configuration Tool. The Piranha Configuration Tool is a
Web-browser graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a structured approach to creating
the configuration file for LVS — .
/etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf
To access the Piranha Configuration Tool you need the
service
piranha-gui
running on the active LVS router. You can access the Piranha Configuration Tool
locally or remotely with a Web browser. You can access it locally with this URL:
http://localhost:3636. You can access it remotely with either the hostname or
the real IP address followed by :3636. If you are accessing the Piranha Configuration
Tool remotely, you need an
connection to the active LVS router as the root user.
ssh
Starting the Piranha Configuration Tool causes the Piranha Configuration Tool wel-
come page to be displayed (refer to Figure 1-27). Logging in to the welcome page pro-
vides access to the four main screens or panels: CONTROL/MONITORING, GLOBAL
SETTINGS, REDUNDANCY, and VIRTUAL SERVERS. In addition, the VIRTUAL
SERVERS panel contains four subsections. The CONTROL/MONITORING panel is
the first panel displayed after you log in at the welcome screen.
Figure 1-27. The Welcome Panel
The following sections provide a brief description of the Piranha Configuration Tool
configuration pages.
