Network Device Bonding
For many systems, it is desirable to implement network connections that comply to
more than the standard data security or availability requirements of a typical ethernet
device. In these cases, several ethernet devices can be aggregated to a single bonding
device.
The configuration of the bonding device is done by means of bonding module options.
The behavior is determined through the mode of the bonding device. By default, this
is
mode=active-backup
, which means that a different slave device will become
active if the active slave fails.
When using OpenAIS, the bonding device is not managed by the cluster software.
Therefore, the bonding device must be configured on each cluster node that might
possibly need to access the bonding device.
To configure a bonding device, use the following procedure:
1
Run YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings.
2
Use Add and change the Device Type to Bond. Proceed with Next.
