This post is about a cluster initialization failure. Below can be found how to tackle it.
Diagnostic
Failed to initialize the cluster in step 8 of the cluster installation.
Collected logs show that the RX value failed to be obtained for the network interface card (NIC) bond.
Cause analysis
The NIC configuration is incorrect. BONDING_OPTS is not configured in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Solution
Step 1. View the NIC mode.
Run cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 and check the value of the Bonding Mode.
Step 2. Add the NIC configuration based on the Bonding Mode.
BONDING_OPTS="mode=4 miimon=100"
mode=0 indicates balance-rr (Round-robin policy).
mode=1 indicates active-backup (active-backup policy).
mode=2 indicates balance-xor (XOR policy).
mode=3 indicates broadcast.
mode=4 indicates 802.3ad (IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation).
mode=5 indicates balance-tlb (adaptive transmit load balancing).
mode=6 indicates balance-alb (adaptive load balancing).
