utility, read the documentation for the ib-bonding package.
2. Automatic operation:
- a. Edit the file '/etc/infiniband/openib.conf' as follows:
- # Enable the bonding driver on startup.
- IPOIBBOND_ENABLE=yes
- # # Set bond interface names
- IPOIB_BONDS=bond0,bond8007
- # Set specific bond params; address and slaves
- bond0_IP=10.10.10.1/24
- bond0_SLAVES=ib0,ib1
- bond8007_IP=20.10.10.1
- bond1_SLAVES=ib0.8007,ib1.8007
- b. Use standard OS tools (sysconfig in SuSE and sysconfig in Redhat)
-to create a configuration that will come up with network restart. For details
-on this, read the documentation for the ib-bonding package.

Notes:
-* If the bondX name is defined but one of bondX_SLAVES or bondX_IPs is missing,
- then that specific bond will not be created.
-* The bondX name must not contain characters which are disallowed for bash
- variable names such as '.' and '-'
* Using /etc/infiniband/openib.conf to create a persistent configuration is
- deprecated and not recommended. Use it unless you have no other option and
- prefer the standard way. It is not guaranteed that the first method will be
- supported in future versions of OFED.
