NAME

6       lvsd - daemon to control the Red Hat clustering services.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lvsd   [-c   cfgfile|--configfile=cfgfile]  [-n|--nodaemon]  [--nofork]
10       [-t|--test-start] [-?|--help] [--usage] [--version]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       lvsd reads in the cluster configuration file lvs.cf, calls  ipvsadm  to
14       maintain  the  IPVS routing table, and nanny to perform monitoring ser‐
15       vices.
16
17       lvsd is normally started by pulse although it can be run as  a  command
18       line  tool.   Similarly, the configuration file that tells lvsd what to
19       do is normally edited by piranha, but it can be manually edited.
20
21       All activity from lvsd is logged to syslog (when lvsd is running  as  a
22       daemon).
23

OPTIONS

25       -c cfgfile|--configfile=cfgfile
26              Normally,  lvsd  uses lvs.cf as its configuration file, but this
27              can be overridden and another file can be used.
28
29       -n|--nodaemon
30              Normally, lvsd runs as a daemon, however using this option, lvsd
31              runs in the foreground.  When running in this mode, all its out‐
32              put is sent to STDOUT instead of syslog.
33
34       --nofork
35              Don't fork, but do perform disassociate.
36
37       -t|--test-start
38              Running lvsd is test mode allows the user to monitor  what  lvsd
39              would actually do.  This is only useful during debugging.
40
41       -?|--help
42              Shows a verbose usage listing.
43
44       --usage
45              Outputs a terse argument summary.
46
47       --version
48              Displays program version.
