In this example, BridgeXPort1, BridgeXPort2, BridgeXPort3, and
BridgeXPort4 are the BridgeX ports that you want to add to the partition.
6. Follow these steps to add the ibp0 and the ibp1 network device port GUIDs to the
partition:
a. SSH to the storage appliance and run the following commands to determine
the port GUID of the ibp0 network device:
:> configuration
:configuration> net
:configuration net> devices
:configuration net devices> select ibp0
:configuration net devices ibp0> show
Properties:
speed = 32000 Mbit/s
up = true
active = false
media = Infiniband
factory_mac = not available
port = 1
guid = 0x212800013e8fbf
configuration net devices ibp0> done
b. Repeat the previous step with select ibp1 to determine the port GUID of
the ibp1 device.
c. Run the following command to add storage appliance GUIDs to the myIPoIB
partition:
# smpartition add -n myIPoIB -port ibp0GUID ibp1GUID
7. Run the following command to view the changed partition configuration:
# smpartiiton list modified
This command displays the new partition with its pkey, ports added to the
partition, and membership type.
8. Run the following command to confirm the partition configuration:
# smpartition commit
9. Create interfaces for the ibp0 and the ibp1 network devices and bond them by
running these steps:
a. Log in to the Browser User Interface (BUI) of the storage appliance in your
Exalogic machine.
b.
Under the Configuration tab, select Network.
c.
Create a new datalink with the following properties by dragging ibp0 under
Devices to the Datalinks column to:
i. In the Name field, enter ibp0.8005, where 8005 is the partition key.
ii. In the Partition Key field, enter the partition key specified for the partition.
iii. Set the Link Mode as Connected Mode.
d.
Create a datalink for ibp1 called ibp1.8005 by performing Step Gather Port
GUIDs of Compute Nodes and BridgeX Ports of Gateway Switches.
