Oracle VM 3.2.1 Bonding and Etherchannel

edited Jun 19, 2013 11:21AM in Oracle VM (OVM) (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓
 I have a new OVM cluster running OVM 3.2.1. The bond0 device holds eth0 and eth2 both are bnx2x drivers the server is a Dell M620 blades. 
I have been assured that the switch is set up for etherchannel correctly by our network Engineer. We have other etherchannel devices on Linux (Oracle Linux) and AIX and they work exactly as expected.

I have added eth2 into bond0 ( eth0 is in by default. ) and I have done this through the OVM manager. I also changed the bonding to Dynamic Link Aggregation - although prior to using Etherchannel I tried the other two modes to pretty much the same result. So my issue is that it seems as though eth2 is favored for send  and receive traffic and when I pull eth0, the link stays up and everything works fine. If I pull eth2 I lose connection to the server for about 75 seconds.

Howdy, Stranger!
