Purpose
This document explains the certification between Oracle Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) and InfiniBand (IB) Support for Linux x86 and x86-64 Platforms.
Note: On Oracle Linux 5.4 (kernel 2.6.18-164.15.1.0.1.el5 & onwards) includes RDS 1.4.2-10, which is recommended by Oracle
Scope
For Oracle Linux 5.4 and earlier, in which only kernel-2.6.18 is available, Oracle Linux provided the RDS driver in the OFA package through ULN Channel el5_rds_x86_64_latest. The latest versions are:
ofa-2.6.18-128.7.1.0.1.el5-1.4.2-14.x86_64
ofa-2.6.18-194.3.1.0.3.el5-1.5.1-4.0.28.x86_64
For Oracle Linux 5.5+ and for Oracle Linux 6.x, there are different types of kernels.
a) For kernel-2.6.18, the ofa driver is not provided
b) For Oracle UEK kernel-uek-2.6.32, the ofa driver (including RDS driver) package is provided through ULN Channel ol5_x86_64_latest and ol6_x86_64_latest.
c) For Oracle UEK2 kernel-uek-2.6.39, no separate ofa package is required or provided as the ofa driver (including RDS driver) modules are incorporated in the kernel package.
