Ocfs2 users - Aug 2009 - NIC Bonding

Hi,

 

I have 2 NIC and wants to use both NIC for load balancing and fault
tolerance.

 

-          Quick question if NIC bonding in Redhat is supported by OCFS2?

-          If yes which mode bonding  is supported?

 

 

Thanks

Raheel

Hi Raheel,

 

It will depend on OCFS2 version;

Prior to version 1.2.5 of ocfs2, network timeout is not configurable, it is
a fixed value of 10 seconds. Thus using bonded devices was not supported due
to the time a bond typically takes to failover, leading to node outage
anyway. 

 

Basic bonding should be fine if the above is considered.

 

Best regards,

Karim Alkhayer
