Oracle RAC over InfiniBand

• Use InfiniBand for Oracle Grid private network communications

– Highest speed networking interface at 40 Gb/sec

– Lowest latency: 1 microsecond

– Consumes less CPU resources than 10 GbE

– Supports much higher MTU sizes at 64 K

• Requires less I/O on the network fabric for Oracle RAC communication

• Unleashes trapped resources in servers making them more productive

• Defined as the private network during Oracle Grid installation

SGA, Intimate Shared Memory, and Non-Stop Operation

• Intimate Shared Memory (ISM)

performance benefits

– Locked (no swap, mutexes)

– Saves kernel CPU, memory

resources

– Single cache for all Oracle

processes, IPC

• But cannot be resized

– Take care with Dynamic

Reconfiguration

LOCKED

Memory

Shared Processes

Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory (DISM)

• Gives nearly all the performance

benefits of ISM

– Also helps NUMA MPO

• But CAN be resized

– Much greater flexibility with Dynamic

Reconfiguration

– Allows dynamic resize of SGA

• If no DR or dynamic SGA sizing

needed, use ISM
