<div dir="ltr">Today we bonded three NICs on the network node to increase network capacity between instances and resources outside of Labs (including glusterfs). This resulted in a short network outage while the router was reconfigured and again when we restarted the network services on the network node.<div>
<br></div><div style>If you had any bots that have issues with lost network connections, you'll need to restart them.</div><div style><br></div><div style>We've made these changes for a couple reasons:</div><div style>
<br></div><div style>1. We were occasionally (but rarely) saturating the current link</div><div style>2. This allows us to change the network driver we use on the virtual machines to the virtio driver, which changes the NICs from 100Mb to 1Gb.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I've set virtio as the default for all new instance creations, and am in the process of changing the driver for existing instances. After I've changed the driver, instances will need to be rebooted for this to take affect. I'll send out another mail when this has occurred.</div>
