Configure the Exalogic Machine Using ECU
This appendix provides an overview of the Exalogic Configuration Utility (ECU).
It contains the following topics:
• Overview
• Important Notes Before You use the ECU
• Configuration Tasks
A.1 Overview
The ECU enables you to perform the initial configuration of an Exalogic machine and
to connect the machine to your existing network. The ECU does not perform all of the
initial configuration steps. For more information, see Initial Network Configuration of
Exalogic Machine.
The ECU verifies the current state of your Exalogic machine before performing any
initial configuration.
During manufacturing, an Exalogic machine is configured with the following default
network topology:
• Compute nodes and storage heads with NET0, ILOM, and BOND0 (IPoIB) interfaces
• Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches with the ILOM interface
Note:
Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36, which is included in Exalogic full- and
half-rack machines, is not connected or configured, by default. This switch is
used in multirack configuration scenarios only. For more information, see Use
the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 in Multirack Configurations.
In addition, the Cisco Ethernet management switch is not configured, by
default.
For information about configuring VNICs for Ethernet connectivity, see
Configure Ethernet Over InfiniBand.
A.2 Important Notes Before You use the ECU
Before using the ECU to configure the Exalogic machine, keep the following points in
mind:
• Ensure that you have connected a laptop to the Exalogic machine
