Hi,
I have a setup where servers and clients are all on both an an ib and an
ethernet network. Now, if one of the networks are lost (dead switch) or
single paths to a node it would be nice if Lustre would failover to the
working network.
Looking through old posts I only found some that are 7+ years old and
they don't agree:

Playing with 2.7 my conclusion is that it will not failover like this.
Is that correct? Are there plans to address it in the future?
Bonding will, of cause, work for Ethernet devices.
It seems that with dual OFED devices it is supported with the "ko2iblnd
dev_failover=1" option. Perhaps this might work with Soft-RCoE?
Could routing be used to solve this problem?
Cheers,
Hans Henrik
