This question may reveal my ignorance of how a virtual IP works, but I noticed that when I installed my first control plane node and included a VIP, it added it to the list of IP addresses in the upper right corner of the dashboard. When I installed my second control plane node with a VIP, it did not add it to its list of IPs. After adding/removing the VIP from the second node and trying to get it to claim it, it occurred to me that this may not be expected behavior. Can anyone confirm/deny that I should be seeing both nodes claim the VIP before I waste any more time? Thanks! |

VIP is only active on one controlplane at a time, it resides with the controlplane that's the etcd leader |

Also please keep in mind that running two nodes etcd cluster doesn't make much sense, as if one the nodes fails, etcd would lose quorum. VIP and multi-node controlplane make sense only with 3 (or 5, 7, ...) nodes. |
