5.24 Implementing InfiniBand Partitioning across Oracle VM Oracle RAC Clusters on Oracle Exadata

For Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) clusters running in Oracle VM on Oracle Exadata, you can isolate the network traffic on the InfiniBand network for each Oracle RAC clusters using custom InfiniBand partitioning, dedicated partition keys, and partitioned tables.

• About InfiniBand Partitioning Across Oracle RAC Clusters Running in Oracle VM
  An InfiniBand partition defines a group of InfiniBand nodes or members that are allowed to communicate with one another.

• About InfiniBand Partitioning Network Configuration
  Plan and allocate sets of IP addresses and netmasks for each Oracle VM RAC cluster that will be used by the cluster pkey interfaces and the storage pkey interfaces when InfiniBand partitioning gets implemented in the cluster.
