You're certainly correct, Pieter....the presentation shows channel bonding
between two
NICs and two real OSA adapters. VSWITCH and/or gLANs aren't covered at all.

This presentation, given at the SHARE Orlando meeting last February, might be of
interest: "Networking with Linux(r) on System z", session 9267, given by Steffen
Thoss ([email protected]). He discusses network bonding of multiple NICs in some
detail, and gives example configurations for SLES 10.
That document is what originally started me out on this thread. It suggested
that
bonding was possible witch a VSWITCH, but didn't provide any details. As
various tests
by Mark, Marcy and me have so far indicated it is in fact possible to do virtual
bonding, but it does not seem to provide any benefit as the VSWITCH side does
not know
about either etherchanneling or LACP. Also the current level of the bonding
driver
precludes real balancing of outgoing data over the nics.
