oVirt node and bonding options cutomizations

Hello, when using CentOS as OS for hypervisor and mode=4 for bonding (802.3ad) in the past I had to use lacp_rate=1 (aka fast), because I noticed problems with the default lacp_rate=0 parameter. Now I'm testing an oVirt node and I see that into the graphical interface there are the options to set mode, link up and down delays, but not the lacp_rate option. It is a different environment from the one where I had to modify it, so I will start with the default value and see if I get any problems again. Now the ifcfg-bond0 file created at oVirt node level by the web mgmt interface contains: BONDING_OPTS="miimon=100 updelay=0 downdelay=0 mode=802.3ad" Would I be able to modify it in case of need and have it persistent across reboot, something like this: BONDING_OPTS="miimon=100 updelay=0 downdelay=0 mode=802.3ad lacp_rate=1" ? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Hello, you can specify more bondings options by selecting Bonding Mode "custom" and passing "miimon=100 updelay=0 downdelay=0 mode=802.3ad lacp_rate=1" there. Regards, Petr 2017-09-08 12:09 GMT+02:00 Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com>:

Ok, but this means that these kind of customization are to be done only after I have also installed the engine and added the node to it. And not in the preliminary phase where I have only installed the ovirt node OS from the iso and I'm accessing it from http://host_ip_addr:9090 cockpit interface, correct? Thanks, Gianluca
