Hi Nathan, Thanks for the report. I think you are absolutely right: this is a bug in xapi.
Coincidentally, I believe I have just fixed this in the master branch last week, in this commit: https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/commit/0a5994567a44148b9dc94f7cbd1e192394ffb041.

The bonded interface is setup with mtu 9000, but the underlying interfaces are left at mtu 1500. I've got my host configured as such: eth0 + eth1 = Bonded together with mtu 1500 for internet access eth2 + eth3 = Bonded together with mtu 9000 for mgmt / storage Management IP is configured on the underlying eth2+3 bond Storage IPs are configured on vlan interfaces on top of the eth2+3 bond This all works awesome immediately after configuration, mgmt traffic leaves the bond untagged and storage traffic works as expected. On reboot of the host however, both eth2 + eth3 are brought up with only mtu 1500: eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:36:9F:0E:D8:54 UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:36:9F:0E:D8:56 UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Even though the management interface has mtu 9000 set: xapi2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:36:9F:0E:D8:54 inet addr:10.0.16.13 Bcast:10.0.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1 This results in network apparently working - icmp works, you can ssh somewhere but as soon as a large burst of traffic happens then the tcp connection stalls as it gets fragmented weirdly. Another host which has never been rebooted since configuration (via xencenter) that it has eth2/eth3 properly set with mtu 9000. Manually doing an "ifconfig ethX mtu 9000" for eth2 + eth3, followed by an xe-toolstack-restart results in a working host again. So, pretty sure this is a bug =) - Nathan _______________________________________________ Xen-api mailing list Xen-api@lists.xen.org<mailto:Xen-api@lists.xen.org> http://lists.xen.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xen-api
