• Additional networks (optional): Each Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway

Switch has eight 10 Gb Ethernet ports. The number of ports used in Exalogic

deployment depends on your specific bandwidth requirements (how many 10 Gb

ports can be shared per compute node) and on your specific LAN/VLAN

connection requirements. A group of 16 compute nodes connects 2 Sun Network

QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches in an active-passive bond. Each compute node

is connected to two separate Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches for

HA.

Note that each compute node requires a bond for each external network (physical

network or VLAN).

Figure 6-1 shows the network diagram for the Exalogic machine with Oracle Linux

operating system.
