passing through either device’s CPU, without needing extensive buffering, and without calling to an operating system kernel. RDMA can bring about a substantial reduction in CPU utilization on both the application and database servers. Oracle’s 10G RDBMS product supports native SDP; however, Oracle products that use an earlier version of the Oracle DB client can only utilize Transparent SDP. -

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. -

Transparent SDP configuration The following steps are very crucial and require absolute path statements; any typing errors could render the system inoperable. The preload file, ld.so.preload points to a library, libsdp.so, to be loaded during system startup. If the path is incorrect, library name is misspelled, or library does not exist a reinstall of the operating system may be required. -
