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 an RoCE network (AIX) Configuring the network settings of hosts in a Db2 pureScale environment on an RoCE network without IP support (AIX) A remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network without IP support is characterized by an 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 an RoCE network with IP support (AIX) Setting up the netmon.cf file on an RoCE network (AIX) remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network, one or more IP addresses that can be pinged 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 can be pinged.
