Introduction

Since IPVS interface to user-space is different in different Linux kernel versions, there are different versions of ipvsadm for IPVS inside the different Linux kernel versions.

For IPVS inside the Linux kernel 2.6, you need to use ipvsadm version 1.24 or later.

For IPVS inside the Linux kernel 2.4, you need to use ipvsadm 1.21 series.

For IPVS patch for the Linux kernel 2.2, you need to use ipvsadm version 1.15.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (or CentOS 3) kernel has already included the IPVS patch, so that we do not need to build the kernel image with IPVS support ourselves.

[root@penguin root]# modprobe ip_vs
[root@penguin root]# cat /proc/net/ip_vs
IP Virtual Server version 1.0.8 (size=65536)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn

For the IPVS version 1.0.8, we should use the ipvsadm version 1.21-10, which support the Linux kernel 1.0.4 or later.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, make sure that kernel-source rpm is installed at system.

[root@penguin src]# rpm -q kernel-source
kernel-source-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL
[root@penguin src]# pwd
/usr/src
[root@penguin src]# ln -s linux-2.4.21-47.0.1.EL linux

Then, we can build the ipvsadm-1.21-10 rpm in the following command:

rpmbuild --rebuild ipvsadm-1.21-10.src.rpm

Note that ipvsadm-1.21-11.src.rpm is for IPVS 1.0.12 or later, IPVS 1.0.12 is in the Linux kernel 2.4.28 or later 2.4.xx versions.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, make sure that kernel-source rpm is installed at system (as showed at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_85_5109.shtm).

# up2date redhat-rpm-config rpm-build kernel-utils

# up2date --get-source kernel

# rpm -ivh /var/spool/up2date/kernel*.src.rpm

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

# rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec

# cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src

# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux


Then, we can build the ipvsadm-1.24 rpm in the following command:

rpmbuild --rebuild ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm

And install using: rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ipvsadm-1.24-6.i386.rpm

The problem is that compiler cannot find the kernel source directory. The fix is to make a symbolic link of kernel source directory to /usr/src/linux.
