Switchless 10GbE setup with 2 DSS and 3 ESX Hosts

[shechtl]

On the linux bonding project I could found nothing that it is not allowed to bond nic with different speed and hardware ?

different chipsets/speeds in a bond can be unpredictable, as it forces different drivers into the bond.
I'm not saying its not allowed, but since it can be unstable, we do not recommend you do this with any bond.
It is also better to bond ports that are on the same card.

Hello,

We are trying to get the switchless setup to work with Xenserver 6.1 and and Active Active open-e setup.... till now without success.

We see the virtual ip switching etc etc but the server looses connection when a swithover occurs since it does not know to use the second network port. If we pull the first ethernet cable switch over occurs, how can we do this automatically?

Anyone has a walkthrough how to get 2-3 Xenserver hosts to work over all 10Gbe ?

Thanks a lot in advance!
