Nic Teaming

[Gr-R]

Hello,
I have installed Open-e on hp server that has two NICs, I plugged each NIC to different switch on the same vLAN. How can I create NIC Teaming? To avoid nic failure/switch failure.

Thanks,

Hello,
Thanks for your reply, but my subnet is only one and I don't have another subnet. Can I set the bounding/Teaming on the same subnet?

However, this doesn't fulfill my requirement.

What is stated in this document is to connect two hosts in the same sub-network. My requirement is to have nic teaming in each server and I can present iSCSI target as a Virtual IP. So, in my iSCSI initiator, I have to put the VIP only. Is this can be achieved in Open-e?

Thanx,

Hello,

I have tested the below in my VMWare WorkStation and I have seen it it's working, but is it the way how it should be configured?

Here's its;

I have added two interfaces, eth0 and eth1,

eth0 = 192.168.112.220
eth1 = 192.168.112.221
gw = 192.168.112.2

In the network > Setup > Interfaces, I have selected both of the Interfaces and selected Bounding Mode = balance-rr.

I have given the bound0 IP 192.168.112.222 gw IP = 192.168.112.2l

Ping stop working on 220 and 221 and only 222 is the one which is ping-able.

Ctrl+Alt+N and I have selected Routing, I have added routing to be 0.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 goes via 192.168.112.2 for interface bound0.

Testing,

in my ESX test, I have added the 192.168.112.222 as the iSCSI target and it detected the iSCSI LUN.

I disconnected eth0 and ping to 192.168.112.222 ping is alive and scanning the iSCSI adapter in ESX, LUN still exists.

I disconnected eth1 and ping to 192.168.112.222 ping is alive and scanning the iSCSI adapter in ESX, LUN still exists.


Is this the way how it should work?

Thanks,
