Re: [openib-general] IPOIB failover ?

I am working on a patch to the linux bonding driver which will allow it to enslave also IPoIB devices for the active-backup mode. I will send an RFC to netdev for review next week. Does this meets your needs? Does by virtual IP you mean an ***alias address*** assigned at one point of time to one ipoib device and in another point of time (eg during fail-over) to a second ipoib device? does this approach have any advantage on the bonding approach?

Supporting IPOIB fail over with the Bonding driver will work - we currently use this for GE, etc. On Wed, 2006-09-13 at 14:27 +0300, Or Gerlitz wrote: Richard Frank wrote: Does IPOIB in this stack support transparent fail over between ports and across redundant HCAs using a virtual IP ?
