Hi teams, I needed to change bonding mode in AHV from active-backup to active-active for my production cluster .can you help me by giving me the best practice 

We recommend that you first change the host side to LACP via the cluster vswitch. This will do a “rolling reboot” task which puts a host into Maintenance mode and makes the change to active / active with LACP and fallback enabled. Since the switch side is not setup we’ll fall back to active / backup.

Once host are done you then need to put a host into MM and make the switch configuration changes. Ensure this is working and then move to the next host.

You can find this below.

To verify LACP manually you can look at KB-3263 https://portal.nutanix.com/kb/000003263
