6.7 Prepare to Reconfigure the Networking of Exalogic Machine
You should prepare to reconfigure the networking of your Exalogic machine as
follows:
1. Identify your current management network.
2. Identify your current client access network.
3. Determine if you will connect multiple Exalogic machines or a combination of
Exalogic machines and Oracle Exadata Database Machines. If you plan do to either
of these, then contact your Oracle representative.
4.
Provide input to the Exalogic Configurator spreadsheet, which will be used to
generate configuration scripts required for the initial network configuration.
5.
Review the values you entered in the spreadsheet.
6.
Execute Oracle Exalogic Configuration Utility scripts, as described in Configure the
Exalogic Machine Using ECU.
7. Run the network connections to the planned Exalogic machine location.
8. Inform your Oracle representative when you have completed these steps.
6.8 Subnet Manager Requirements for Connecting Exalogic to Exadata
See Subnet Manager Operation in Different Rack Configurations.
6.9 Network Configuration Worksheets
The following networks are used with the Exalogic machine:
• Management network
• Client access network
• InfiniBand private network (IPoIB)
The InfiniBand private network is a non-routable network fully contained in the
Exalogic machine, and it does not connect to your existing network. This network is
automatically configured during installation.
Note:
All networks must be on distinct and separate subnets from each other.
All IP addresses must be statically assigned IP addresses, not dynamically
assigned (DHCP) addresses.
This section contains the following worksheets:
• General Network Configuration Worksheet (Required)
• Management Network Configuration Worksheet (Required)
