Hi,

I'm new to bonding.

do "service network restart", the slaves devices not up or down, only
the master devices are up.
i doing manually up the slave devices, is there anyway to solve this
one.

My setup:
OS: RHEL AS 4 (Update 5)
kernel: 2.6.9-55.ELsmp
ofed: 1.3

after doing "service network restart"
if found these messages in logs.

bonding: bond0: Link status definitely down for interface eth0,
disabling it.
bonding: bond0: Now running without any active interface!

bonding: bond1: Link status definitely down for interface ib0,
disabling it.
bonding: bond1:  Now running without any active interface!

Anyone come across this one.

How do i solve this issue?

1. Do you have ifcfg-* files for your bonded interfaces?
You should.

2. Why are you doing a network restart?
Whatever you think you're doing, I'd bet you just want to bounce some
interfaces with ifdown and ifup.


Hi Allen,

I have ifcfg-bond*, ifcfg-ib*(slaves for bond1), ifcfg-eth*(slave for
bond0) in /etc/sysconf/network-scripts

After bring-up the system, i'm change the configuration files then
restart the network.

If I reboot the system with the bonding configuration, i'm unable to
connect the machine from remote, due to the slave devices are down.
So that only i'm configure after the system came up.

After "service network restart", run the command "ifconfig eth0
up" (slave) and "ifconfig ib0 up" (slave).
The slave interfaces are up.

Or

If I boot the system with bonding configuration, again i need to give
commands to up the slave interfaces.
