I am trying to setup keepalived on a pair of VPS load balancer servers. I have hit the road block of IPVS not being included with the kernal.



IPVS: Can't initialize ipvs: Protocol not available


I am not familiar on the best way to add support for this, I believe it may be possible with a kernel module but I am unclear how to proceed.

  • I can not tell from your question if you need to build the kernel module or if the kernel module will not load or if there is a bug. Can you please tell us , what distro ? What kernel version ?

To solve this problem, install ipvs, by running



yum install ipvsadm


Once done, run,



  modprobe ip_vs 


on your host machine, or the machine keepalived is to be installed on. This should solve the problem.
