Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand (EoIB) on Oracle Linux
Switch : 0x00212856d162c0a0 ports 36 "SUN IB QDR GW switch el01gw05" enhanced
port 0 lid 64 lmc 0
lid 65 corresponds to gateway switch el01gw04 with GUID
0x00212856d0a2c0a0.
Define a dummy MAC address in the following format:
5.
last3_octets_of_switchGUID : last3_octets_of_computenode_adminIP_in_hex_format
Example:
GUID of switch: 00:21:28:56:d0:a2:c0:a0
Last three octets: a2:c0:a0
Administrative IP of the compute node that requires the VNIC: 192.168.1.1
Last three octets: 168.1.1 (in hexadecimal notation: a8:01:01)
MAC address: a2:c0:a0:a8:01:01
As ilom-admin, log in to the gateway switch (el01gw04) that you identified in
6.
Step 4.
Run the following command to create a VLAN:
7.
hostname# createvlan connector -vlan vlan_ID -pkey default
Example:
e101gw04# createvlan 1A-ETH-3 -vlan 0 -pkey default
Run the following command to create a VNIC:
8.
hostname# createvnic connector -guid compute_node_port_GUID -mac
unique_mac_address -pkey default
Example:
el01gw04# createvnic 1A-ETH-3 -guid 0021280001a0a366 -mac a2:c0:a0:a8:01:01 -
pkey default
The VNIC is created.
To verify the VNIC, on the switch CLI, run the showvnics command. The
9.
following example output is displayed:
10-4 Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Machine Owner's Guide
Note:
The dummy MAC address should be unique to the Exalogic network. Only
even numbers are supported for the most significant byte of the MAC address
(unicast). The above address is an example only.
Note:
This new resource is not tagged with any VLAN. At this time, Exalogic uses a
single partition (the default partition).
