Hi Scott,

The mechanism to specify bonding configuration params in /etc/openib.conf
to be input to /etc/init.d/openibd, namely:

IPOIBBOND_ENABLE=yes
IPOIB_BONDS=bond0
bond0_IP=11.1.1.1
bond0_SLAVEs=ib0,ib1

I have talked to Moni, its only there to enable using bonding in a persistent
fashion on old distributions etc where the solution provided by OFED
1.3 is not possible.

So you are using network scripts for bonding configuration?
