RHL 6 Enterprise & Bonding NIcs

Darren Etheridge_2 — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 19:40:52 GMT

Well I have moved to bonding the NICS on my new DL380 system, but have run into a problem. I've created the bond0 interface & made the changes in the other nic configurations, but when I go to change the modprobe.conf, that file does not exist, neither does the modprobe.d directory. Those files to exist in my RHL 5 system but not in the RHL6. So how do I get them there correctly? (especially since the modprobe has the hardware configuration files.

THanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

/etc/modprobe.conf can be read, if the user creates it.
The user can also create a file under /etc/modprobe.d

Hope this works with your server.

Thanks
