2. Copy the edited files to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory using the following command:

   # cp -fp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.Post_10GigE_Settings/ifcfg-eth* \
     /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.
   

3. Restart the database server using the console.
4. Monitor the boot sequence to ensure no errors occurred during bondeth0 initialization.
