https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/redhat-5-3-network-bonding-issues/m-p/4748236#M12735 We have had the 4.3 Redhat install automated for a while and it has worked like a champ but here is what we are seeing with a 5.3 Redhat 64bit upgrade.<BR /><BR />We install the drivers from the HP SmartStart disk..reboot<BR />On reboot we create the bonds that in the past are look like:<BR /><BR />Redhat Virtual Connect Port<BR />eth0(bond0) = 1 Embedded NIC<BR />eth1(bond0) = 2 Embedded NIC<BR />eth2(bond1) = 3 Mezzanine<BR />eth3(bond1) = 4 Mezzanine<BR />eth4(bond2) = 5 Mezzanine<BR />eth5(bond2) = 6 Mezzanine<BR /><BR />Now what is happening:<BR />Redhat Virtual Connect Port<BR />eth0(bond0) = 1 Embedded NIC<BR />eth1(bond0) = 4 Embedded NIC<BR />eth2(bond1) = 2 Mezzanine<BR />eth3(bond1) = 3 Mezzanine<BR />eth4(bond2) = 5 Mezzanine<BR />eth5(bond2) = 6 Mezzanine<BR /><BR />This is just an example, it is actually different every time we install. I assume this happens somewhere at the kernal level but I need to figure out how to get consistent results. I know how to fix it but when onsite admins install they aren't C7000 experts so it is messing them up.<BR /><BR />Thanks for any help!
