5.24.3 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.

Within an Oracle VM RAC cluster, the cluster pkey IP address and netmask should be on a separate subnet from the storage pkey IP address and netmask.

The tables below can be used as reference for one particular RAC cluster:

Table 5-2 Existing Configuration

Interface Name	IP Address	Netmask
ib0	192.168.12.153	255.255.248.0
ib1	192.168.12.154	255.255.248.0

The following table shows the new IP addresses and netmasks required by the pkey interfaces while implementing InfiniBand Partitioning for that one Oracle RAC cluster.
