The problem is that for Xen1 and Xen2, the mgmt. interface is NIC4, while for Xen3, the mgmt. interface is Bond4+5. According to docs, incoming server should not have any bond configurations, it will automatically get those from the pool once it becomes a pool member.
What you need to do is 1) wipe out all bond assignments on Xen3; 2) assign mgmt. IP to NIC4, 3) join Xen3 into the pool. You can assign any storage IPs for Xen3 after it has joint the pool. Yiping PS: if this is a brand new pool, I would recommend that you rebuild the pool so that the mgmt. NIC is also a bond.

Start with one host meant to be the initial pool-master. Say: configure these trunks and networks on just this single host. Don't forget to label these networks to meet the respective ACS labels. If you'ld like add this host to ACS. Can be done now or later. Additional hosts meant as additional pool-members shouldn't be configured. Just do a simple installation and define the hosts management IP *on one of the meant-to-be MGMT trunk-ports*. Join the addtitional host to the pool-master and you're done. The pool- configuration will be populated to all new pool-members. I'ld recommend to use the identical NICs on every host - that's way easier. > I have 6 nics > > 2 on board 1GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different > nexus 5k) MGMT > 2 10GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different nexus 5k) > Primary storage > 2 10GB NIC ( LACP BOND with port channel to two different nexus 5k) > Sec Storage & Guest & Public traffic > > Everything looks good outside of a xenserver pool the minute I want to > add to a pool I get the above error. > > I am on CS 4.5.0 XS 6.5 > > Maybe I should ask this to XenServer but I use CloudStack and I seen > someone talk about XenServer MGMT LACP a couple weeks ago but I don't > think I seen a good answer on if it works or not. > > I'm confused why it doesn't work.
