In our environment, eth2,3,4,5 is assigned to br0. The bonding policy uses active-backup and the current active interface is eth2.

I want to leave only eth2,3 in br0 with the following command while the cluster is online.
allssh manage_ovs --bridge_name br0 --bond_name br0-up --interfaces eth2,eth3 update_uplinks

1. Is it possible to proceed without stopping the cluster?
2. What if I need to stop the cluster?

Basically the manage_ovs command will recreate the bond interface so you might get the link down in 1 or 2 seconds. What the “recreate” means is that it will delete the current bond interface and then add the uplinks to a newly created bond interface based on the parameters you provide.

So my recommendation is that you should put the host into maintenance mode before doing anything relates to network configuration.

Hi its, recommend putting host and CVM into maintenance mode prior to doing any changes to avoid downtime.
