Originally, bonding is a High Availability solution for Ethernet network interfaces. It is a module that implements a virtual network device (not bounded to hardware) and enslaves "real" devices. Bonding device controls its slaves according to the bonding policy and the slave's health.
I am adding a bonding device which is good for IPoIB interfaces. Feel free to install it send comments. You just have to build source RPM, rebuild it and install the binary. For now, I have tested the module under RH4-UP3 and SLES10 with OFED-1.1. HOW TO BUILD THE SOURCE RPM =========================== git clone git://staging.openfabrics.org/~monis/ofed-bond-pkg.git mydir cd mydir/ ./build_rpm.sh ./build_rpm.sh OR ./build_rpm.sh --git-url After installing the binary RPM read the instructions in /usr/local/ofed/docs/ib-bonding.txt Note: Using ib-bonding requires applying a patch for IPoIB and replacing ib_ipoib.ko. Please find the patch in the following message. Please also note that the patch should be applied after ipoib_8111_to_2_6_16.patch. - MoniS _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
