Guide
This document includes information for Oracle Linux (x86_64) with UEK Release 4 and later. The minimum UEK version
indicates the earliest supported version for the major UEK release specified. Support also applies to subsequent updates and
errata to the minimum required UEK versions. Adapter firmware is outside the scope of this document, and supported in
accordance with the manufacturer and resellers recommendation.
Customers deploying Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on any Linux distribution, including Oracle
Linux, are urged to review My Oracle Support (MOS) for information about the networking protocols supported by Oracle
Database.
The use of any RDMA protocol (including InfiniBand and RoCE) to attach storage to an Oracle engineered system is not
supported. For environments other than Oracle engineered systems, the use of SRP in Oracle Database and RAC
environments and the use of RoCE as a transport for NVMe over RoCE in Oracle Database and RAC environments is
supported; this support is (a) available only on specific devices, and (b) available for Oracle Linux with UEK R6 and UEK R7.
Always refer to MOS content for any known issues related to an adapter.
The information in this document is subject to change without notice, and Oracle shall not be liable for technical or editorial
errors or omissions. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting any warranty.
