Hi David, I am using SLES 8 SP4. OSA is attached to z/VM 4.4 and z/VM assigned three device numbers to linux guest to form on NIC.
If there is qetharp for ARP equivalent on zLinux, is there any other network teaming software that is equivalent with bonding? qethbonding? Cheers. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "David Boyes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 10:07:06 -0500 > >> I found that SLES 8 includes "bonding" drivers.
