X2-2, X3-2, X4-2, and X5-2 Systems in a Virtualized configuration with Compute Node Dom0 memory levels set to 3.5 GB or higher as per the "Document : 1582091.1 - Exalogic Virtual dom0 Memory Recommendations"
Symptoms
An issue has arisen whereby the SWIOTLB buffer, used for Xen PCI passthrough, becomes temporarily exhausted on Compute Nodes running the recommended Dom0 memory layout of 3.5 GB or higher.
The issue manifests itself through vServers that will boot with no IB networking.
Evidence of the issue can be found in the failed vServer logs or be observed on the vServer serial console (through attaching to the vServer serial console using ‘xm console <domain>’)
