If it helps any, this is a sample configuration that appears to work (though I haven't done any extensive testing with it). As far as I can tell the main gotchas are: - figuring out which parameters go into which files - bonding wants the slave devices to be on different chpids (so need at least 2 OSA cards). h91distr02:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-vlan671 ETHERDEVICE='bond0' BOOTPROTO='static' IPADDR='192.168.71.191/24' BROADCAST='192.168.71.255' STARTMODE='auto' h91distr02:~ # h91distr02:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_MASTER=yes BONDING_SLAVE_1='qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.09c0' BONDING_SLAVE_2='qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.c500' LLADDR='02:09:ff:00:71:ff' MTU='1492' STARTMODE=onboot BOOTPROTO=static h91distr02:~ # h91distr02:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.09c0 BOOTPROTO='static' LLADDR='02:09:f1:ff:ff:01' NAME='IBM OSA Express Network card (0.0.09c0)' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='HL6a.FOqOuhDmSR4' USERCONTROL='no' _nm_name='qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.09c0' h91distr02:~ # h91distr02:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.c500 BOOTPROTO='static' LLADDR='02:09:f1:ff:ff:02' NAME='IBM OSA Express Network card (0.0.c500)' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='KV74.FOqOuhDmSR4' USERCONTROL='no' _nm_name='qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.c500' h91distr02:~ # h91distr02:~ # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.5 (March 21, 2008) Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 02:09:f1:ff:ff:01 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 02:09:f1:ff:ff:02 h91distr02:~ # - Mark Ver office: Building 710 / Room 2-RF-10 phone: (845) 435-7794 [tie 8 295-7794] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
