Re: [Xen-users] CentOS 5.3 bond0 and xen 3.3.0
That would be because both Xen and RHEL/Centos are broken when it comes
to bonded bridged interfaces.
There are various approaches to making it work. My notes on how I am
currently doing it are below. Change interfaces, addresses and
BONDING_OPTS for your local requirements.
Bonding/Trunking
Bonding/Trunking is supported out of the box on RHEL/Centos, but it does
not work when combined with a bridge for Xen as of RHEL/Centos 5.3. This
has been reported as bug 463014
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463014) which has a simple
patch for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth.
The standard Xen network-script does not support bonded interfaces at
all as it takes the interface down, which breaks the bond.
Note that the instructions below use the Red Hat init scripts to setup
xenbr0. The Xen script that normally does this is disabled.
Apply the patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463014
Configure Bond on RHEL/Centos
/etc/modprobe.conf
alias bond0 bonding
/etc/sysconfig/network-srcipt/ifcfg-xenbr0
DEVICE=xenbr0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.42.0
IPADDR=192.168.42.41
/etc/sysconfig/network-srcipt/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BONDING_OPTS='mode=2 miimon=100 xmit_hash_policy=1'
BRIDGE=xenbr0
/etc/sysconfig/network-srcipt/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:15:17:55:C1:D0
/etc/sysconfig/network-srcipt/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:15:17:55:C1:D1
To configure Xen to use the bond in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
change the network-script and vif-script lines to the following
(network-script '/bin/true')
(vif-script 'vif-bridge bridge=xenbr0')
Reboot.
