Configuring on a RoCE network (AIX)

Configuring switch failover for a DB2 pureScale environment on a RoCE network (AIX)
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 in aDB2 pureScale environment on a RoCE network without IP support (AIX)
A RoCE network without IP support is characterized by a RoCE special device file (and the absence of a network interface) on hosts which can only transmit and receive RDMA data. To configure the network settings, you must install required uDAPL software and configure ICM, associate interconnect netnames with pseudo IP addresses, and add required entries to the Direct Access Transport (DAT) configuration file.

Configuring the network settings of hosts in a DB2 pureScale environment on a RoCE network with IP support (AIX)
In Version 10.5 Fix Pack 5 and later fix packs, you can configure the network settings of hosts on a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network with IP support. A RoCE network with IP support is characterized by the presence of a network interface on hosts that can transmit and receive both TCP/IP and RDMA data. To configure the network settings, you must check for the required uDAPL software, create a network interface, associate interconnect net names with IP addresses, and add required entries to the Direct Access Transport (DAT) configuration file.
