bond or different networks for frontend and backend

Hello, here in the description (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Single_node_...) it says that we should have at least 2 interfaces to separate frontend and backend traffic. How is this when I have 4 nics and I make with all one bond interface, is this not better in terms of performance? What is your recommendation with 4 x 1Gbit nics? Best regards Jonathan

In terms of performance and stability, it is better to assign one NIC for ovirtmgmt (frontend web, management net) + 3 nics in bond for the gluster storage network. You could also assign the migration network at same bond. Though I personally prefer to not mix gluster net with migration.

If I had 4 x 1GBE , I would consider LACP with hashing on layer 3+4. For production use, I would go with 10GBE at least.

Sorry I hear this hashing term the first time. So in cockpit this would be a team with 802.3ad LACP / Passive? And you would put all 4 nics in this team? In the switch I still have to define a link aggregation (on hp switch a trunk) with LACP? Am 24.11.20 um 13:36 schrieb Strahil Nikolov:

You can find details here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/htm... 1 or layer3+4 — Uses upper layer protocol information (when available) to generate the hash. This allows for traffic to a particular network peer to span multiple slaves, although a single connection will not span multiple slaves.
