Hi Amit, We can recreate the problem in your setup. It is known problem in ubuntu 14.04 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave/+bug/1288196 Followed similar workaround suggested. Added hwaddress in bond config which will make sure the consistency of bond mac. With this change tried restarting network multiple time and never hit the problem. We should able to push the same through our provisioning script. Leaving that open for further discussion. For now you should not hit the problem with the workaround.
