Upgrading Host HCA Option ROM and
Firmware
Each host server connected to a Oracle Fabric Interconnect has at least one HCA
installed to provide the InfiniBand (IB) connection to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
On the host’s HCA, an Option ROM and firmware are present that support the IB
connectivity, data traffic, and some Oracle proprietary tools. Even though the HCA
is a host component, not technically part of the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, XgOS can
be used to upgrade the Option ROM version and firmware that the HCA uses.
Upgrading the host’s Option ROM or firmware occurs in-band through commands
on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect that are sent to the HCA. Because the HCA
upgrade is in-band, no service interruption occurs while the new packages are being
put on the HCA. However, to load the new Option ROM or firmware into memory
on the HCA, the server must be rebooted, which does cause a brief service
interruption.
