Use Bonding driver.(*2)
- See the kernel document /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
- You must test performance on each environment.
Use Megamonitor to watch RAID status.(*3)
- Get lsi_v37.tgz ( Megamonitor ver3.7 ) from HERE.
There is no free software utility to watch this RAID status.
