Lacp bonding with udev interfaces.

[Petro]

Here's my situation. I have a tool that builds ISOs from a custom 
database of host information (the database is actually the back end of a 
control tool for a service my organization provides. The ISO builder is 
a subset of this larger tool).

The ISO generator was originally built against 6.2, and the ks.cfg it 
generated did an echo to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifconfig-bond0 
because 6.2 allegedly didn't support LACP bonding.

Since the network devices are already configured for LACP when our 
servers are plugged in

We're going to upgrade ~400 servers to 6.5 (reinstall, not in-place 
upgrade) and since 6.5 supports LACP I've been trying to figure out how 
build ks.cfg that can get the network up during the install.

I tried using a network line that had --bondslaves=link, but that didn't 
work at all.

Right now I'm going to call a python script in %pre that generates the 
three network lines I need (--device=bond0, --device=physical1 and 
--device=physical2) and %includes this file.

One question I have is that in the notes for %pre is that the network is 
available but DNS is not up. Is this the case? What do I have to call to 
reset the network?

Another question is "is this the best way to do it, or did I miss 
something in Redhat's copious, thorough and complete documentation".

Regards,
Petro.
