[Xen-API] XCP 1.6 bonding, 2 or 4 NICs

[Alexandre Kouznetsov <alk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I'm planning the configuration for a small XCP 1.6 cluster. On of the 
requirements is high throughput between the nodes, so I'm planning to 
bond up to 4 physical 1Gbps NIC's together. After playing around a 
little bit an studying documentation a few questions have arised.
(I think I better split this into several messages)

XenCenter allows me to create "bond" networks, but only with 2 
interfaces, while XCP 1.6 Release Notes mentions that it allows up to 4 
NICs to be used in an active-active bond. Is it a XenCenter's 
limitation, and in my case the bond of 4 NIC's shall be created from 
CLI? Or XenCenter should normally allow me to bond 4 NICs if the Xen 
Host supports it, meaning that something is wrong with my setup?
Greetings.
