suddenly reboot and system hang

Hi,

our 2 node DSS v6 failover cluster has troubles again (no RAID/HDD issues at this time). Today DSS2 (sec. node) suddenly rebooted and hung at 27% boot up sequence, booted again, ...

Then I tried to disconnect the bonding interface cables and the system booted up with no issues. After reconnecting the NIC cables system crashed again ... without NIC cable everything works ...

Any ideas? Are there known issues with INTEL NICs and bonding (balanced-rr)? Should I completely remove the bond and use only one 1:1 connected interface for the volume replication?

There shouldn't be a problem, you don't need to use a bond w/ the Volume Replication but if you need the path failover then I would use it, did this just start happening or is this a new system? An idea is to try to check the ports on the Switch to make sure it is not configured for 802.3ad or if there are Jumbo frames or just place in different ports of the switch.

If this does not help send in the logs so we can look them.

I sent logs to support, but they didn't find an error ...

I use balanced-rr as bond without switch (direct connection NIC to NIC).

The reboot occured on long running system, I never had this issue before.

do you have the Ticket #

Ticket #1020209

Thanx!

Thanks for the ticket - I checked with the guys and had them confirm that if you delete the Bond and re-create again it should work, looks like something got messed up. Let me know if re-creating the Bond works or does not.
