I looked at the characteristics through smitty and cannot find anything related to 'bonding'.
Here's our cards:
- IBM 10/100 mbps Ethernet PCI adapter
- 3Com 3C905-TX-IBM Fast EtherLink XL NIC
thanks,
Librado

okay, so you are trying to do etherchannel bonding then. Make sure your networking equipment is capable and configured to do it. We've set it up, but not fully tested the performance. It's pretty straightforward, using smit.

What we are trying to resolve is the backup performance.
Attached to this server is a StorageTek 9714 tape library with 6 DLT 7000 using 4 PCI Differential Ultra SCSI card.
The throughput capacity of the drives is 5 to 6 Mb/s, but when the FULL backups runs, we are only getting 2 to 3 MB/s.

depends on what you mean. you going to do etherchannel bonding, or failover? or just two ip addresses? certainly, there's nothing wrong with setting up two ip addresses, but you might want to make sure ip routing is turned off if you do.

Good morning,
We have a RS/6000 7025 F50+ with the following specs:
2 Way PowerPC 604 332 MHz processor
2 Gb RAM
We are using this as our backup server for Legato Networker, application and Oracle database server.
Does anybody has an experience in using/setting this server using dual NIC cards? is there any risk involved? or is it possible to configure this server with 2 NICs?
TIA,
Librado Pamintuan
