[V13] [usability] Veeam Infrastructure Appliance - Network bond creation

[obengert]

Hey,

as probably most, we deploy physical hardware servers
with redundant network interfaces using a bond / teaming.

As for the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance running on hardware server (e.g. Linux Hardened Repository)
the configuration of a bond is rather not intuitiv and not well documented in the deployment guide:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13
where it just states 'For advanced network configuration through the nmtui tool, select Advanced'.

As improvement in usability it would be nice to see a more intuitive approache here.


Thanks and regards.

Hi obengert,

Just to clarify, you're wanting changes to the method for creating the network bond or you'd like to see more details on how it's configured in the User Guide?

For updates to the User Guide, you can always click on the "Send Feedback" link on any page in the User Guide, and our Technical Writer Team will review the request and adjust as necessary.

Hey david.domask,

either of both would be good.
Thanks for the hint with the feedback, I do that.

ofc an easier method of creating the bond during the setup wizard would be nice, but probably not that easy to iplemet since it relies on nmtui.

Thanks and regards.

I've reveived a reply from the veeam documentation team:

"...we are looking into updating the User Guide to include information on configuring connections in nmtui.
Unfortunately, I can't give you a timeframe as to when those changes will be published."


Regards.
