10.3 Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand (EoIB) on Oracle Solaris
This section includes the following procedures to set up EoIB on Oracle Solaris:
•
Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand on Oracle Solaris 11.1
•
Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand on Oracle Solaris 11.2
10.3.1 Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand on Oracle Solaris 11.1
You can set up Ethernet over InfiniBand connectivity for Exalogic compute nodes
running Oracle Solaris 11.1 by doing the following:
Use an SSH client, such as PuTTY, to log in to a Sun Network QDR InfiniBand
1.
Gateway Switch as a root. For example, log in to el01gw04 as root.
At the command prompt, run the following command:
2.
el01gw04# listlinkup | grep Bridge
A section of the output of this command is as follows:
Connector 0A-ETH Present
From this example, identify the uplinks. In this example, you can use any of the
following Ethernet connectors for creating a VNIC:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Determine GUIDs of an Exalogic compute node as follows:
3.
a.
Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-1 (Bridge-0-2) up (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-2 (Bridge-0-2) up (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-3 (Bridge-0-1) up (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-4 (Bridge-0-1) up (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 1A-ETH-1 (Bridge-1-2) down (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 1A-ETH-2 (Bridge-1-2) down (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 1A-ETH-3 (Bridge-1-1) up (Enabled)
Bridge-0 Port 1A-ETH-4 (Bridge-1-1) up (Enabled)
0A-ETH-1
0A-ETH-2
0A-ETH-3
0A-ETH-4
1A-ETH-3
1A-ETH-4
Note:
This example procedure uses 1A-ETH-3.
On the compute node that requires the VNIC, log in as root, and run the
dladm show-ib command on the command line. For example, log in to
el01cn02 as root. This command displays port information, as in the
following example output:
