Creating a network bond
If you have more than one node, you must create a network bond on each appliance node after all of the nodes are added. Use the same slaves and bonding mode on each node on the appliance.
Note:
You create a network bond by using the Flex Appliance Shell. For information about accessing and using the Flex Appliance Shell, see the following topic:
To create a network bond
- Log in as the hostadmin user to the Flex Appliance Shell, and then type the following:
set network bond slaves=<slave name,slave name> bond_mode=<name of the bonding mode> bond_name=<name of the bond>
The slaves parameter is required. The bond mode and the bond name are optional. If you don't enter a bond name, "bondX", where X is the lowest number available, is the default name. If you don't enter a bond mode value, the default value is used.
The following bond modes are available:
802.3ad - this is the default bond mode value
balance-rr
active-backup
balance-xor
broadcast
balance-tlb - - This bond mode is not supported due to a known issue in Red Hat. However, Veritas does not block this bond mode. If you want to use this bond mode, see the following article from Red hat before you proceed:
