4. Edit the ifcfg-ethN file to contain the following content. Remove existing entries, if any,
except for “DEVICE” and “HWADDR”. Make sure that the HWADDR field matches the

NOTE: You may see an error while shutting down bond0, since it previously didn’t exist.
For example:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth: line 101:
/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves: No such file or
directory
7. To verify the bond configuration, check the /proc/net/bonding/bond0 file. This listing
shows two slave interfaces with eth2 as the currently active slave.
Identify Free Port for DSAU Consolidated Logging
Before configuring the consolidated log package, you should choose an available TCP port. HP
recommends port 1775, but you can choose a different port if you need to. If you select a port other
than 1775 and use a firewall, you will need to change the firewall settings. sgEasyConfig allows
access for 1775 using tcp.
These steps are required only if configuring the DSAU consolidated logging package, clog.
The steps in this section should be performed on each server to ensure the same port number is free
on each server.
