Configuring a RoCE network (Linux)
The topics in this section detail how to configure single
or multiple communication adapter ports and switches on a remote direct
memory access (RDMA) protocol over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network.
Setting up the IP interfaces on the switch on a RoCE network (Linux)
On a remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network, you must manually set up the IP interfaces on the switch. Starting from V11.1.4.4, the procedures documented in this page are no longer required as adapter port liveliness test has been enhanced and automated. Some restrictions apply. Refer to technote#0733765 for restrictions.
Switch configuration on a RoCE network (Linux)
Switch failover capability is a high availability feature provided by the configure Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP) on the switch.
Configuring the network settings of hosts for a Db2 pureScale environment on a RoCE network (Linux)
As described in the network topology tables and diagrams, configure the communication adapter ports in pairs, so that the devices with the same device ID (for example, roce0) are on the same subnet.
Setting up the netmon.cf file on a RoCE network (Linux)
On a remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network, one or more pingable IP addresses must be manually set up in the netmon.cf configuration file. The netmon.cf file is required by Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) to monitor the network and ensure that the interfaces are pingable or not. Starting from V11.1.4.4, the procedures documented in this page are no longer required as adapter port liveliness test has been enhanced and automated. Some restrictions apply.
