When I configured LACP (2 cables connecting the switches) servers were not
communicating with each other when one of their cables was removed (leaving
one cable at each server connected to different switches), indicating that
lacp was not functioning. Connecting the switches with one cable only
without lacp and stp enabled servers were able to reach one another though
gluster was logging stagibg errors and volumes did not start. When both
cables were connected at same switch, gluster was ok.
