After creating a partition on the InfiniBand switch, you must create a child interface for the IPoIB interface on your Exalogic compute node.
For example, on the InfiniBand switch, if you defined a partition with pkey
0x33
, with IPoIB enabled, you must complete the following steps on a compute node with port 1 that is either full or limited member of that partition:
Note:
Even though the example uses port 1, you can create child interfaces for both ib0
and ib1
and bond them together on the partitioned network.
