Hi all, - sorry posted in general maybe its better over here.
I migrated to a harvester cloud provider setup with my downstream rancher guest cluster. I'm struggling to get my workloads to be accessible via a harvester loadbalancer. Issue is my Devs are waiting as this is the QA environment and we can't access our workload now..
I need some clarification on if I can use a vlan cluster network for the load balancer? IE the VM network vs the management network? I can't seem to get it to be routable via the VM network, I have my service in the downstream guest and I have the load balancer automatically provisioned in harvester with IP on the VM vlan network but it can't seem to get up to the guest cluster. Not sure how to troubleshoot from here or what's required for the networking.
My rancher master VMs are on the same network as my upstream guest cluster nodes which are connected via the vm-net harvester bridge and bonded interface to my switch as a vlan trunk. I'm not sure if the harvester nodes need to have a vlan interface on that network too? Is that best practice? I thought harvester would setup what it needed in that case as well.
The alternative seems to be to use the management network and route the cluster gateway traffic over that but It doesn't seem like best practice either..
Any more info about the harvester cloud provider guest cluster load balancer setup would be much appreciated.
Got it figured out, was bad network subnet config and getting the namespaces sorted out ect. 🙃
