autoyast sles 11 sp1 ask for bond0 IP Address

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Install-Boot
1

I can create autoyast to configure bonding with bond0 set at static ip
address, but cannot get an ask statement for the bond0 device’s IP
Address (not using DHCP).
The following is my autoyast settings. any idea how I can get this to
work?
In the General Section:


networking,interfaces,bond0,ipaddr

New Server IP Address Enter the server IP Address: cont 172.16.6.X

In the Networking Section:


<bonding_master>yes</bonding_master>
<bonding_module_opts>mode=balance-alb
miimon=100</bonding_module_opts>
<bonding_slave0>eth0</bonding_slave0>
<bonding_slave1>eth1</bonding_slave1>
static
bond0
value
255.255.255.0

auto
no

Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3)

I haven’t done anything with bonding, only with the first ip address,
and I’m in early stages of devveloping my installation, but FWIW this
works…

networking,interfaces,0,ipaddr host,hosts,0,host_address Enter Primary IP Address initial 10. static eth0 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) 255.255.255.0 24 auto no

Differences from yours are stage initial, and nothing at all in
eg rather than value
