Once the HP InfiniBand 4x HCA drivers have been installed and configured on both servers, modify
one of the unused Linux Ethernet configuration files (or make a copy) for use as the private
interconnect. Edit the hosts file to include both “
hostname
_IB” and the IP address defined in the Linux
Ethernet configuration files used for private interconnect.
Specify the private interconnect IP address and
hostname
_IB
Both servers
Modify the hosts file to include the node names and IP addresses used for the private interconnect.
# vi /etc/hosts
10.1.1.10
dbhostname_IB
10.1.1.15
appshostname_IB
Copy
ifcfg-eth0
and rename it
ifcfg-ib0
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
# cp ifcfg-etho ifcfg-ib0
Database server
Modify
ifcfg-ib0
to include only the items listed below.
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib0
DEVICE=ib0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.1.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
Application server
