Note:
Do not complete this step if your Exalogic machine is connected to Oracle
Exadata Database Machine on the same InfiniBand fabric.
See the following example:
1. Run the following command to start the process:
# smpartition start
2.
Run the following command:
# smpartition list modified
3.
Run the following command to make Exalogic compute nodes limited members of
the default partition and to disable IPoIB on the default partition:
# smpartition modify -n Default -port ALL_CAS -m limited -
flag
16.5 Create an IPoIB Partition and Adding Ports
In this example procedure, you are creating a unique, non-default partition named
myIPoIB for network isolation on Exalogic's private InfiniBand fabric by configuring
a non-default partition key (pkey) value 0x005.
To do so, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to the InfiniBand switch where master SM is running. For more
information, see Before You Begin.
2. To start the configuration process, run the following command:
# smpartition start
3. Create the myIPoIB partition with the pkey 0x005 with full membership by
running the following command:
# smpartition create -n myIPoIB -pkey 0x8005 -m full -flag ipoib
4. Run the following command to add the compute node port GUIDs, which you
noted down in Gather Port GUIDs of Compute Nodes and BridgeX Ports of
Gateway Switches, to the myIPoIB partition.
# smpartition add -n myIPoIB -port portGUID1 portGUID2
In this example, portGUID1 and portGUID2 are the ports that you want to add
to the partition. This command example shows a few port entries only. You can
add as many ports as necessary. An example port value is 0021280001cef8e3.
5.
If you intend to use the partition for creating vNICs, run the following command
to add the gateway switch's BridgeX ports to the myIPoIB partition; otherwise,
proceed to the next step. The gateway switch's BridgeX ports were noted down in
Gather Port GUIDs of Compute Nodes and BridgeX Ports of Gateway Switches.
# smpartition add -n myIPoIB -port BridgeXPort1 BridgeXPort2 BridgeXPort3
BridgeXPort4
