Hello 

In fact I’ve found out that confignics is not to be used anymore and it’s 
better to use confignetwork instead.
Also I had the confignetwork script before the confignetwork script in the 
postscript table, so the installer was trying to configure ib0 before the 
driver was installed.
Now with the proper order it’s working better (even though I can’t run the ofed 
install script manually for some reason) and all interfaces are configured as I 
wish :)

However there’s still something going on because after configuring the bond the 
connection with the management node is lost, meaning the installation of a node 
does not end properly...


Best regards,
