Why RHEL6 Cluster Administration documentation recommends to use Bonding mode 0 for Cluster Communication?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • RHEL6 Cluster Administration documentation recommends to use Bonding mode 0 for Cluster Communication while the recommended bonding mode is 1.

  • Found this mismatch in the "9.1 Cluster Does Not Form" section of the following documentation.

    http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html-single/Cluster_Administration/index.html

  • The statement in concern is "Ensure that the interfaces you are passing cluster traffic over are not  using any bonding mode other than 0 and are not using VLAN tagging."

  • What is the recommended bonding mode for cluster communication in RHEL6?
