Configure the 10 GbE and 10 GbE ALB bond (using eth2 and eth3)

CAUTION:
Bonding both the ports on the 10 GbE network adapter and then using this bond for all SAN/iQ
software communication could pose a risk to your volume and snapshot availability in the event of
any network connectivity and/or functionality issues with the 10 GbE adapter. If you set up this bond
configuration, make sure you configure your volumes and snapshots for 2-way or higher replication
to ensure that your volumes and snapshots remain available at all times.
