PVE 5.1 eth bond question

Hello all,

I just moved my newly installed Proxmox Hypervisor to its final position in my rack. While I was using only one uplink eth during all the migration, I connected both designated cables when installing it there.
The system came up without any issues (watched over IPMI) however I was unable to connect via SSH nor Web-UI.
I also was unable to reach any VM (autostart was tested before).

To replicate the working setup I pulled one cable from the two NICs forming a bond (slb mode, no LACP) and well, everything came back to life.

From my understanding SLB is a switch independent configuration. Is that wrong?

Here is my networking setup:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp3s0 inet manual

iface enp4s0 inet manual

allow-vmbr0 bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
        ovs_bonds enp3s0 enp4s0
        ovs_type OVSBond
        ovs_bridge vmbr0
        ovs_options bond_mode=balance-slb
#NIC Team Tagged VLANs

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSBridge
        ovs_ports bond0 vlan10
#Tagged VLANs

allow-vmbr0 vlan10
iface vlan10 inet static
        address  192.168.10.210
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        gateway  192.168.10.1
        ovs_type OVSIntPort
        ovs_bridge vmbr0
        ovs_options tag=10
#Management Interface

I am trying to replicate the setup which I was using previously on my ESXi host. There any uplink was used as an independent one, where the hypervisor assigned "some" VMs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards

Hi,

do you use the correct OpenvSwitch packages?
please send the output of
Code:
dpkg -l | grep openvswitch
 
ovs_ports bond0 vlan10

allow-vmbr0 vlan100
iface vlan10 inet static

Check your 10(0) numbers...
 
@czechsys: thanks but that was a typo. The configuration is actually correct. I have edited the first post to reflect that.
@wolfgang: As requested.
Code:
dpkg -l | grep openvswitch
ii  openvswitch-common                   2.7.0-2                        amd64        Open vSwitch common components
ii  openvswitch-switch                   2.7.0-2                        amd64        Open vSwitch switch implementations
