Hello everyone.

The problem I have is weird, I have a 4 NIC server and divide them into two bond0 and bond1. Bond1 is being used to communicate with a NAS system and bond0 which the one used for VMs is giving problem. I forgot to mention that bond0 belongs to vmbr0 and bond1 belongs to vmbr1. Every time I go into the bond-mode and put as balance-rr, all of the VMs stop responding on their network. Then I have to go back and set the bond-mode to active-backup. Active backup is the only mode this system works.

Please help with this issue.

If possible please which is the best bond-mode that I can use.???
Proxmox version
pve-manager/1.8/6070

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces


# network interface settings

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

there're issues with LACP and bridge networking (it won't work by design).
balance-rr should work, probably there's something with your switch.
what if you change networking to host-based (venet), will it work in balance-rr mode ?
 
It could be the switch, which is a [SIZE=-1]HP ProCurve Switch 2900-24G (J9049A). I could think it's a switch problem but there are VMWare ESX Hosts connected to this same switch doing load-balancing and they work perfectly. It could be possible that I am missing something in here.

Thanks for replying.
