Configuring on a RoCE network (AIX)
The topics in this section detail how to configure
single or multiple communication adapter ports and switches on a remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet
(RoCE) network.
Switch configuration 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 a Db2 pureScale environment on a RoCE network without IP support (AIX)
A remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (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)
A remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (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 at the same time. 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.
