Instead of trying to put certain nodes on eth0 and certain nodes on eth1, have
you considered bonding eth0 and
eth1 together and letting traffic be spread across them like that? It should
automatically balance traffic for
you.
Please please please correct me if I am wrong but I thought that bonding
is done between targets, ie all the nodes has to have bonded interfaces
to take advantage of bonding?
Nope.
or I can just bond 2 interfaces on the server and leave the rest of the
nodes connected with 1 interface to the switch?
Yep. I'm doing this with my cluster -- the fileservers have a 2-port
bonded interface to the switch, and all the nodes have just 1 connection.
I did some quick testing and found that, for me, mode 0 bonding
(balance-rr) worked better than mode 4 (802.3ad).
I have trunking (which is I believe is the same as bonding) option
in my DGS-1248T... may be I should RTFM for the beast...
Trunking is the same as mode 0 bonding. I just defined 3 trunk groups
(one for each of my fileservers), with each trunk group having 2 member
ports.
