[Gluster-users] Gluster and bonding

[Alex K]

Hi All,

I was asking if it is possible to have the two separate cables connected to
two different physical switched. When trying mode6 or mode1 in this setup
gluster was refusing to start the volumes, giving me "transport endpoint is
not connected".

server1: cable1 ---------------- switch1 --------------------- server2:
cable1
                                            |
server1: cable2 ---------------- switch2 --------------------- server2:
cable2

Both switches are connected with each other also. This is done to achieve
redundancy for the switches.
When disconnecting cable2 from both servers, then gluster was happy.
What could be the problem?

Thanx,
Alex
