4.7.7 Verifying the RoCE Network Fabric Configuration

This procedure describes how to verify the RoCE Network Fabric configuration.

1. Verify the proper oracle-rdma-release software versions are being used on the database servers.

   [root@dbm01adm08 ~]# rpm -qa |grep oracle-rdma-release
   oracle-rdma-release-0.11.0-1.el7ora.x86_64

   The oracle-rdma-release software and adapter firmware versions are automatically maintained on the Oracle Exadata storage servers.

2. Check the adapter firmware versions on the database servers.

   Use the CheckHWnFWProfile script to check firmware versions for the RDMA Network Fabric adapters.

   # /opt/oracle.SupportTools/CheckHWnFWProfile -action list

3. Visually check all the RDMA Network Fabric cable connections within the rack.
   The port lights should be on, and the LEDs should be on. Do not press each connector to verify connectivity.
4. Complete the steps described in My Oracle Support Doc ID 2587717.1
