so in the case where path = (srcmac ^ dstmac) % links, for only two links, it seems like you could set up two IPMI-monitor-master machines (with the right differences in their macs) and have full connectivity. in fact, the bonding would lead a node's BMC to DHCP from the master that it could reach, so you could even assign them to two separate subnets to stay sane... hah. sometimes I wonder whether clusters should use straight eth-level addressing, rather than dealing with LACP/arp/etc oddities. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
