Wrong CC IP address detected by eucalyptus-ipaddr.conf

[Stefan Bucur]

When more than one default route exists in the CC host routing table, eucalyptus-ipaddr.conf does not pick the one with the lowest metric, but the last one that appears in the "ip route" output.

For instance, in the following case:

$ ip route
128.178.77.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 128.178.77.99
10.0.0.0/8 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.50.1
default via 128.178.77.1 dev eth2 metric 1
default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth3 metric 100

the value of $addr will be the IP address of eth3, and not eth2, as I would have expected.

I´ve assigned this bug to the eucalyptus package. Thank You for making Ubuntu better.

Marking the bug as triaged. We should provide a way to set the default route in eucalyptus.conf. A workaround could be to actually edit eucalyptus-ipaddr.conf to set the correct IP addresses.

This bug was fixed in the package eucalyptus - 1.6.2-0ubuntu23

---------------
eucalyptus (1.6.2-0ubuntu23) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/eucalyptus-udeb.postinst, debian/eucalyptus-udeb.templates:
    add a debconf/preseed option to skip the euca_find_component
    checks in the installer
  * debian/eucalyptus-network.upstart: only rewrite ipaddr.conf if
    it does not exist (admin can force a rewrite by removing it);
    only write the pertinent addrs to ipaddr.conf, LP: #523126
  * debian/registration/node: ensure that nodes.list is used in
    building the $NODES ip list, might (in part) solve LP: #530091
  * debian/rules: drop the install-init --noscripts option, as this
    is not what we want and appears to have arrived from a bad
    copy-n-paste; this fix ensures that eucalyptus-nc is started on
    on package install, LP: #545606

The part of the UEC that uses eucalyptus-ipaddr.conf is package specific, and so we'll mark it as invalid against the upstream system.
