We recently put in a cluster with bonded gigabit, however that was done using a separate dual-port PCI card. On Supermicro, the IPMI card by default uses the same MAC address as the eth0 port which it shares. You could reconfigure this I think.

Tyan probably have similar. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
