UEK 8 includes Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) features that are provided in the upstream kernel, with the addition of Ksplice and DTrace functionality. RDMA enables direct memory access between two systems that are connected by an InfiniBand or RoCE network. RDMA facilitates high-throughput and low-latency networking in clusters.

Oracle RDMA packages are available in the following ULN channels and yum repositories:

• Oracle Linux 10

  • ULN channel: ol10_x86_64_RDMA

  • Oracle Linux yum server repository: ol10_RDMA

• Oracle Linux 9

  • ULN channel: ol9_x86_64_RDMA

  • Oracle Linux yum server repository: ol9_RDMA

See Upgrading Oracle RDMA Packages on Oracle Linux if you're upgrading a system that has the oracle-rdma-release or oracle-rdma-release-guest package installed.
