  1. IPoIB support of the Linux bonding driver - update Or Gerlitz Voltaire ogerlitz@voltaire.com

  2. agenda • upstream push update • network configuration tools • configuration examples • OFED deployment • Distribution deployment

  3. upstream push update • patches to bonding and ipoib were pushed and accepted into 2.6.24-rc1 • upsteam push done by • Moni Shoua of Voltaire • Jay Vosburgh  of IBM • thanks you Jay and Roland for all the help and coaching through the process!

  4. network configuration tools • bonding scheme (both master and slaves) is configured via the standard network tools • under Red Hat - initscripts • under SLES – sysconfig • required changes for IPoIB/Bonding support • RH5 and SLES10 – nothing • RH4 – some patching of ifup etc scripts, eg to avoid the ifenslave script come into play

  5. config example - RedHat under /etc/modeprobe.conf add the lines alias bond0 bonding options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1 max_bonds=1 • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=192.168.10.63 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib0/ib1 DEVICE=ib0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes USERCTL=no

  6. config example – SLES10 • /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0 BOOTPROTO="static" IPADDR="192.168.10.63“ NETMASK=255.255.255.0 REMOTE_IPADDR="" STARTMODE="onboot" BONDING_MASTER="yes" BONDING_MODULE_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100" BONDING_SLAVE0=ib0 BONDING_SLAVE1=ib1 • /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib0/ib1 BOOTPROTO='none' STARTMODE='off‘

  7. OFED deployment • the ib-bonding package was introduced at OFED 1.2, its provides the binary bonding module and a helper configuration script based on the bonding sysfs entries • rebased in OFED 1.3 to 2.6.24-rc1, no need to use the helper script any more for RH5 and SLES10 and some RH4 updates

  8. Distribution deployment • need to discuss the plan with the distributions, status unclear to me
