Table 6-1 (Cont.) Available network components and interfaces on the compute
nodes and storage appliance
Compute Node Storage Appliance (two server
heads)
Dual-port QDR
InfiniBand Host Channel
Adapter:
• Oracle Linux: ib0
and ib1
• Oracle Solaris: ibp0
and ibp1
1 (this port is not
connected or used)
1 per server head
Ethernet Port for ILOM
remote management
1 4 per head (the ETH0 and ETH1
interfaces are used for active and
passive clustering support; the
dedicated ILOM port is not used,
sideband management is used
instead through the igb0 port)
Note:
These ports are pre-wired in the Exalogic machine at the time of
manufacturing. Do not touch or modify the ports.
The Cisco Ethernet switch supplied with the Exalogic machine is minimally
configured during installation. The minimal configuration disables IP routing, and sets
the following:
• Host name
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• Domain name
• Domain Name Server
• NTP server
• Time
• Time zone
Additional configuration, such as defining multiple virtual local area networks
(VLANs) or enabling routing, may be required for the switch to operate properly in
your environment and is beyond the scope of the installation service.
To deploy the Exalogic machine, verify that you meet the minimum network
requirements. There are up to five networks for an Exalogic machine. Each network
must be on a distinct and separate subnet from the others. The network descriptions
are as follows:
