Hello,
We are starting migrating our 1.9 cluster to 2.1, but there are problems in setting up bonding on two Emulex NC355i 10Gb ethernet interfaces (be2net driver), onboard on HP Blade BL460c G7.
The two interfaces are connected to two different switches, with a trunk connecting them.
First issue: miimon method does not work, because the driver does not detect link absence, so failover does not work.
Second issue: using arp monitoring works for bonding, but when I put the bonded interfaces into a bridge, both interfaces goes down.
On old 1.9 cluster with pve kernel 2.6.32-6 (version 2.6.32-55+ovzfix-1) we had the problem with miimon, but we were able to workaround with arp monitoring.
We tried to update firmware to latest (4.1.402.20) from hp, without success, and also recompiling driver taking latest code available from HP/Emulex, without any progress.
Somone encountered similar issues, or has any suggestion?
Bye,
rob
