Ok, so I've been doing some research after trying to use cobbler to build a few systems with bonding for the first time. I noticed that it puts the bonding options in the ifcfg file rather than modprobe.conf, and understand that's the "proper" way to do things, but my research shows that was something that was added to RHEL5 (and presumably probably started post Fedora 8/9).
Is this method supported in RHEL4 though? We built these systems using RHEL4.6 and bonding is as follows: $ grep BONDING_OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 primary=eth1" $ cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.3-rh (June 8, 2005) Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:22:19:2b:0b:18 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:1b:21:34:16:00 So it's defaulting to RR, when it should be doing A/S. Am I doing something wrong, or is this method not supported on RHEL4? When setting up bonding previously, I've only ever put the options in modprobe.conf.
