Solution 1564824.1 : IPoIB Connection Issues on Multiple Nodes and ECU is Failing on Step 16

Applies to:

Exalogic Elastic Cloud X3-2 Hardware - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Physical ECU version is failing at step 16 and the Infiniband network is exhibiting slowness.

Cause

The BONDING_OPTS property was missing from the bond definition file per review of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0. This should be there as a factory default but in this case it was missing.

Solution

Add the BONDING_OPTS property with correct parameters to the bond definition file.
