Problem with channel bonding after installing smartstart 7.3

[Brett Matheson]

I have RedHat ES 3 (update 5) running on a proliant dl385. I had my NIC's bonded fine following the instructions in the doco. I installed the latest smartstart (7.30) and now the channel bonding no longer works. I have had to remove it, configure one NIC, and leave the other one inactive.

Does anyone know how to get the bonding working again ?

Thanks
Brett

Hi Brett,

Have you checked the release notes of the new channel bonding driver ? The new NIC driver ?

The bonding driver included in SmartStart 7.30 is 1.0.4T-1 :

Try to make sure that it has successfully been recompiled when installing the SmartStart. Also, check the module information :

Good lcuk.
