Get Server IB-Port Information

For each server that will be in the Oracle SDN environment, get information about which IB port and Oracle Fabric Interconnect is connected to the host. This task is the same for QDR or EDR fabrics.

1. For each server that will be in the Oracle SDN environment, type show physical-server server-name.

   name     guid         descr  port              cap  server-profile

2. Note the information in the Port field.

   This field shows the name of the Oracle Fabric Interconnect and the IB port on which the server is connected. You will use this information to create a server profile.

   If two entries exist, the server is physically cabled for HA—meaning it has two physical IB connections to two different Oracle Fabric Interconnects.

3. Continue the configuration by adding a server profile for the PVI VNIC.

   The task to create a server profile is the same for QDR and EDR fabrics. See Create a Server Profile.
