Hi everyone!
I have two NICs in my server, enlan0 and enlan1. enlan0 is meant to connect several "low throughput" VMs, i.e. print- and scanserver, a DMS and so on, via bridge vmbr0. enlan1 connects a NAS to the network via bridge vmbr1. My goal here is to divide the one "high throughput system" from those VMs that are not that demanding anyways.
I now wanted to create a bond as "primary backup" (with enlan0 as primary) in order to back-up enlan0 with enlan1. I also want to do it exactly the other way round, creating a bond with enlan1 as primary and thus backing up enlan1 with enlan0. So all VMs always have a backup connection when their correponding primary NIC fails.This does not work, though. After creating the first bond and assigning it to vmbr0, I can't create the second bond to add it to vmbr1 because the network devices enlan0 and enlan1 have already been used within the first bond.
How can I work-around this issue? Or am I stuck in some brain-fxyk loop and this is a terrible idea anyway, but I just don't see the problem?!
