Michael,
I see a huge problem and very likely a support issue as well.
Basically what he's saying is that the host will have a *single*
logical network interface. That *single* interface will need to serve
as the private and public interface and that's where Oracle Support
may have some major problems.
If these blades only support 2 NICs (and you have no opportunities to
expand them), then I'd elect to leave the redundancy aside and take a
NIC failure as a whole node failure. Since the only other choice is to
combine public and private networks over a single logical interface,
removing redundancy so you have 2 separate logical/physical interfaces
would be a favorable choice.

Subject: rac network question
Our SA's are just setting up some HP blades for us for a rac and he
sent me this below. Just wondering if anyone on the list sees a problem.
"Also, since the c class blades have only 2 physical nics, we are
going to trunk multiple vlans through the same bonded interface.
Makes for a slightly weird setup; you may want to check it out and
play with it before this goes live."
