Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This should be fixed in initscripts-9.03.24-1. You just have to set ETHTOOL_OPTS="autneg on; -A rx on tx off" |
Created attachment 502010 [details] patch to make ethtool run before adding interface to bond Description of problem: I'm trying to set up bonding in mode 4 with one e1000e card and one bnx2 card. The bnx2 card starts up default without RX flow control, and the e1000e card with rx flow control. This makes the two cards get different aggregator id in the bond, and no balancing happens. It is not possible to set pause options from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6.0 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to set lacp bonding with one e1000e and one bnx2-interface. Actual results: # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008) Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 802.3ad info LACP rate: slow Aggregator selection policy (ad_select): stable Active Aggregator Info: Aggregator ID: 1 Number of ports: 1 Actor Key: 17 Partner Key: 205 Partner Mac Address: 02:00:..........

Aggregator ID: 2 Expected results: # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008) Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 802.3ad info LACP rate: fast Aggregator selection policy (ad_select): stable Active Aggregator Info: Aggregator ID: 15 Number of ports: 2 Actor Key: 17 Partner Key: 203 Partner Mac Address: 02:00:........ Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:26:......... Aggregator ID: 15 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: d8:d3:......... Aggregator ID: 15 Additional info: Attached is a patch to make ethtool run before the interface is added to the bond. This patch also makes it possible to add pause options form network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX. Example: DEVICE=eth3 HWADDR=d8:d3:....... ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 ETHTOOL_OPTS="autneg on -A rx on tx off" The change is backwards compatible and should not break anything. Please include it in the next release.
