This kind of old but still accurate as far as I can tell (we have bonding on SLES 11 but I haven't tried it on 12 yet).

And, I did what you suggested multiple time but still in vain. I'm wondering part of my problem is due to cloning. After cloning our cloned images come out eth1, and to make aesthetic sense, I changed eth1 (layer 3) to eth9 (layer 3, change IP address) and try to bring up eth01 & eth1 (both layer 2 and use the original eth1 address). I updated files manually now I don't remember what I did work & didn't work because of repetition.

So, use YaST to "delete" them and then they should become available for use in the bonded device.
