kdump can not use bond1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • fence_kdump doesn't work when using a bonding device for hearbeat
  • kdump can not save vmcore via interface bond1
  • If system has more than one bonding devices, and if kdump target network file server is connected by bondX (which is not the first bond device bond0), then it may fail to save kdump since kdump kernel can not bring up the interface other than bond0

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • bonding
  • kdump
