17.9.5 Creating a Sub-Group for InfiniBand Switches

After creating a top-level group for the Exalogic machine, you can create a sub-group for the InfiniBand switches and gateways (leaf switches and spine switches), which are included in the Exalogic machine.

You can create a sub-group for these InfiniBand switches as follows:

  1. On the right navigation pane named Actions, click Create Group under Organize. The Configure/Modify Group screen is displayed.

  2. In the Configure Group screen, in the Group Name field, enter a name for the new Exalogic group. For example, enter IBswitches. Enter a description in the Description field. Select the Inside a user-defined Group/Subgroup option as Location. In the Group Selection Panel, select the Exalogic top-level group that you created in Creating the Exalogic Top-Level Group. The Configure Group screen should be similar to Figure 17-8.
