Description jon.benedict 2013-03-11 13:58:47 UTC

In many circumstances, there are only 2 interfaces on a given physical host. For most deployments, this means that the 2 interfaces will be bonded. I would like to request that the bonding configuration be available during the initial RHEV-H setup.

For example, in configuring RHEV-H on a Cisco UCS blade, only the "VIC" card is available, and no one is going to waste one of the 2 10GbE interfaces just for the RHEVM network. Currently the rhevm network is configured on a single interface, then the remainder of the network config is completed post-"approval". This also involves extra steps to "sync the interface", then bond. 

Allowing the configuration of bonding during the initial configuration will save time and condense steps.

moving to rhel ovirt-node component

Comment 5 Fabian Deutsch 2013-10-21 17:50:46 UTC

RHEV-H will probbaly support the creation of bonds during auto-install. What is missing is the automatic sync with RHEV-M.

Comment 7 Ying Cui 2014-01-21 03:27:42 UTC

BOOTIF=bond* bond_setup=bond*:ethX,ethX is supported on 6.5 base image(ovirt-3.0.1-16.el6_5, rhevh-6.5-20140110.1)

Adding Pavel(pstehlik@) in CC list to let him know this bug also related RHEV build testing.

Comment 10 Fabian Deutsch 2014-02-05 15:32:48 UTC

Tested as follows using a rhevh base image:

1. Boot with BOOTIF=bond0 bond_setup=bond0:eth0,eth1 storage_init adminpw=...
2. Wait for auto-install to complete

Results:
1. Check on status page: bond0 is shown
2. Check network page: bond0 is shown as configured

tested the auto1032 build, auto install with BOOTIF=bond0 bond_setup=bond0:eth0,eth1 storage_init adminpw=

after install complete, the bond0 is shown on status page as connected and shown as configured in network page.

Comment 16 Yaning Wang 2014-11-12 08:35:10 UTC

tested the rhev-hypervisor6-6.6-20141107.0.iso, 

auto install with 

BOOTIF=bond0 bond_setup=bond0:eth0,eth1 storage_init adminpw=

after install complete, the bond0 is shown on status page as connected and shown as configured in network page.

Comment 17 Yaning Wang 2014-11-12 08:55:19 UTC

tested the rhev-hypervisor7-7.0-20141107.0.el7ev, 

change auto install bond parameter

to

auto-install with

'BOOTIF=bond0 bond_setup=bond0:ens3 bond=bond0:ens3 storage_init adminpw='


after install complete, the bond0 is shown on status page as connected and shown as configured in network page.

Comment 18 Yaning Wang 2014-12-10 02:14:43 UTC

tested the rhev-hypervisor6-6.6-20141119.0.el6ev 

auto install with 

BOOTIF=bond0 bond_setup=bond0:eth0,eth1 storage_init adminpw=

after install complete, the bond0 is shown on status page as connected and shown as configured in network page.
