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

You should have ifcfg files for the master interfaces, too.

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

You should only have to bounce the interfaces, not the entire network config.

Basically I'd suggest re-reading all your documentation on bonding to make sure you've got it right. I recall RHEL4 having a bug in not being able to start more than one bond device from the network init script, but you should at least get one to operate flawlessly if your configs are correct.
