Changes in Backup network post deployment
Hi everyone.
We have an Exadata x6-2 with the a basic network configuration
Eth0 : admin network
Eth1 +eth2 : bonded for client network
Eth3: backup network
Eth4: empty
Eth5: empty
We want to move the backup network from eth3 (copper) to one or both of the fiber ports ( if the bond is required with eth4 eth5)
Questions
Is it mandatory to configure a bondeth1 with eth4 and eth5 or we can setup only one of the ports?
For availability purposes we would like to configure the fiber network in parallel to reduce impact, that means that at some point we will have the copper and fiber network active. Is this supported?
