Keepalived is in a bad state after the service is reloaded; it behaves as if a real server is active but it is not visible in ipvsadm output and client connection attempts fail

Issue

  • The Keepalived service appears to be running normally but the ipvsadm command does not show all the expected real servers.

    kernel: IPVS: rr: TCP 192.168.0.10:8080 - no destination available
