Public bug reported: A HP Proliant DL360 G6 system running Lucid 64-bit (only certified by Canonical for 9.04 64bit and 10.10 32bit [1]) is using a dual-port netxen_nic-based ethernet device.
When ethernet bonding is configured via /etc/network/interfaces [2] the bonded device appears to exist [5] but does not work. Upon restarting the networking service [3] the device works as expected. The bonded device also works when configured manually [4]. This used to work with Hardy. Apport information from the affected system is forthcoming. --------------------------------------------------- [1] http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/make/HP/servers [2] auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 10.2.10.70 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.2.255.255 gateway 10.2.10.254 slaves eth0 eth1 bond-mode 1 bond-miimon 100 [3] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [4] $ sudo modprobe -r bonding $ sudo modprobe bonding mode=active-backup miimon=100 $ sudo ifconfig bond0 10.2.10.70 netmask 255.255.0.0 $ sudo ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 $ ifconfig bond0 $ cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 [5] $ dmesg | grep bonding [ 6.403320] bonding: Warning: either miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target module parameters must be specified, otherwise bonding will not detect link failures! see bonding.txt for details.
