5.24.2 Requirements for Implementing InfiniBand Partitioning across OVM RAC Clusters

Before configuring InfiniBand partitioning, ensure that:

  • You have configured OVM on your Exadata system.

  • All the user domains and storage cells are using the default partition key 0xFFFF.

  • You have set up passwordless secure shell (ssh) access for the root user from one of the management domains (dom0 node) to all the OVM RAC cluster nodes, storage cells, and InfiniBand switches.

  • InfiniBand switches are installed with firmware versions 2.0.4 or above.

  • You have an understanding of InfiniBand partitioning.
