JS21 - Oracle RAC - AIX - Network config

    Hi all,

    we plan to build Oracle 10g RAC on two JS21 blades (AIX). Since JS21 have two NIC (connected internally to two blade switches), what is preferred network configuration?

    On Windows/Linux in similar configurations (blades) we used additional software (Intel PROSet or BASP) to trunk/link aggregate two NIC's. Then we create virtual interfaces (connected to VLAN's) for private and public networks. This way we still have redundancy in case of failure of one of internal blade switches.

    If we simply have one NIC as private and other as public, in case of switch failure, both nodes will fail.

    Is it possible to have two bonds on same two NIC's on AIX? Can bonds be assigned to VLAN? Like
    bond0: NIC1 + NIC2 (VLAN 1)
    bond1: NIC1 + NIC2 (VLAN 2)

    Regards,

    Neven
