Hi, I am researching the best approach to implement network redundancy and load balancing. I have rhel 5 native lpars with multiple osa ports available. I've been reading about channel bonding and osa vipa. It seems that channel bonding will do what i am looking for but it is only for osa layer2 setup. OSA vipa provides redundancy but from what i read, it doesn't network load balance. Can anybody give me some guidance and reference material (samples) where i can read. thanks. Caleb C.
