RHEL 6.4: Mode 1 channel bonding not failing over

by

READ. YOUR. CONFIGS.

And when that fails…

READ. ALL. OUTPUTS.

Do you see what’s in ifcfg-bond0? No, do you understand what’s in ifcfg-bond0?
What in the world of slippery penguins is miimmon=100?
Oh I’m sorry, did you mean miimon=100?

Yeah, I think you meant miimon and not miimmon.

Also, a big giveaway is that when you restart your network service you see this:

service network restart
Shutting down interface bond0:                             [  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface bond0:  ./network-functions: line 446: /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimmon: No such file or directory
./network-functions: line 446: /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimmon: No such file or directory
                                                           [  OK  ]

Pay careful attention to everything you type and when you make your inevitable typing mistake, pay careful attention to every output that you see.

You are a bad person and you should feel bad.
