It verifies that the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine is installed with a 10 GbE
card. If the card is not installed or the drivers are not configured, the script stops its
execution.

It verifies connectivity to all gateways and hostnames configured in the session.
You can run the script to configure the following multiple interfaces:

4.7.1.1 InfiniBand
The
exalytics_configure_network.sh
interface by bonding two InfiniBand interfaces. This interface is for IPoIB
communication (
with Exalogic machine or Oracle Exadata Database Machine. You must specify an IP
address and netmask for the script. A gateway address for this InfiniBand interface is
not necessary.
When you configure InfiniBand using the
following files are updated:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib*
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
/etc/modprobe.conf
Note:
The script keeps a copy of these files in the
and creates a flat backup for the files that may be modified.
4.7.1.2 10 GbE Interfaces
The
exalytics_configure_network.sh
10 GbE interfaces. If you opt for bonding, the script configures the bonded interfaces
using
bond1
address, netmask, and gateway address.
Configuring the Network for Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine
