<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hi
Alicia,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>You are right
bonding package inside OFED replaces bonding package</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>that is installed on
your OS (ib-bonding is installed under</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New"
size=2>/lib/modules/<uname -r>/updates, therefore if you will remove it,
you</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>will have native
bonding working).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I assume that your
OS is RH 4.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Indeed in OFED 1.3
there was a bug, that Ethernet bonding didn't work</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>on RH4, but there is
a workaround in OFED 1.3.1.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>ib-bonding rpm
includes ib-bonding.txt file that has an instruction</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>how to configure
Ethernet bonding:</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>It is not
possible to have a mix of Ethernet slaves and IPoIB slaves under
the</FONT></I></SPAN></P>

master. It is possible however that a bonding master of
Ethernet</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>slaves and a
bonding master of IPoIB slaves will co-exist in one
machine.</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>To configure
Ethernet slaves under a bonding master use the same
instructions</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>as for IPoIB
slaves (according to the OS) with one exception. When
working</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>under Redhat-AS4
do the following when configuring a bonding master
with</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Ethernet
slaves</FONT></I></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><I><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>- In the master

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>This bug will be
fixed in OFED 1.4.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Please let me know
if it helps.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hi
everybody,</FONT></SPAN></P><BR>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I am trying to
install ofed1.3 in my cluster. I have done ethernet</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>bonding in some
network interfaces and I would like to install</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>ofed1.3, but when I
try it ethernet network connection is lost. I have</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>been looking for a
solution, but I have found that the module name for</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>ethernet bonding and
for infiniband bonding is the same, then perhaps</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>it is the reason, is
it true? In that case, how could I solve it? It</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>doesn´t seem to be
solved in ofed1.3.1 because I have tried to install</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>it and the same
happens.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Could you help me,
please?</FONT></SPAN></P>
