[PROBLEM]
Tried to fix a "peer holds all free leases" problem in my failover DHCP setup, using "omshell" to set the running dhcpd to state "partner-down".
Trying to connect with omshell, returns the following error:
By default, the om-api connection is not configured in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, so you must add a few lines to enable the omshell connection.
Thanks to the DHCPd failover article on Frederik's blog, I got an idea of how to configure the "omapi" for using "omshell".
Add the following lines to your primary DHCP server dhcpd.conf:
Now, try to connect with "omshell":
Upon connect, you'll get the following message:
For example:
Where "failovername" is the name you defined in the failover-pool in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.
