Subject: switching the active interface for bonding
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:27:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AD35909.9020006@oracle.com> (raw)
Hi,
We are using OFED 1.4.2 and trying to simulate the effect of a bonding
failover initiated by a switch failure using echo commands in parallel
to the /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/active_slave file on a few of the
nodes attached to the switch. Is this an acceptable technique? We are
trying to avoid actually resetting the switch to avoid affecting other
nodes connected to the same switch, since the other nodes are being used
for other purposes.
Would there be any difference in terms of the codepath which the bonding
driver/ofed stack follows when we do this as opposed to resetting the
switch?
- Sumeet
