Why does running /sbin/udevtrigger cause my Virtual IP to disappear?
Issue
In an environment such as for example Oracle RAC
, a virtual IP address may be used on a bonded interface. This Virtual IP address is not managed by the normal networking scripts. In such a scenario, adding or modifying udev
rules and subsequently running /sbin/udevtrigger
to apply the additions or changes may cause the Virtual IP to be removed from the bonded interface it was configured on, causing a services failure.
