hi guys
This is suse 11 sp1
I have a Server that has 4 NICs, I've created 2 bonds
bond0(eth0-eth1) - 10.10.10.2
bond1(eth2-eth3) - 10.10.10.3
Each bound goes to a Storage Device which is directly connected
so bond0 goes to Storage_Controller_1 and 2 like this
Server_bond0 <--------> Storage_Controller_1 (10.10.10.4)
Server_bond1 <--------> Storage_Controller_2 (10.10.10.5)
The problem is when I ping from server to Storage it looks like only bond0 is active and since bond0 is direclty connected to Storage_Controller_1 it will only ping 10.10.10.4
is there a way to make both bonds independent so
communication between bonds and storage 1 and 2 are separate?
also I attached a computer to this server and that hub (just for testing) and found this is from a windows box an arp command
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>arp -a
Interface: 10.10.10.100 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
10.10.10.2 00-0c-29-dc-10-ca dynamic
10.10.10.3 00-0c-29-dc-10-ca dynamic
if fact If I disconnect cables from bond1 ip 10.10.10.3 this IP will be still pingable
any idea how to seperate this so
bond1 will respond to the IP is belongs to and the same for bond0
thanks a lot
