Preparing for Installation
The Cisco Catalyst 4948 Ethernet switch supplied with the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion
Rack 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
To deploy the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack, ensure that you meet the minimum
network requirements. There are two networks used for the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion
Rack. Each network must be on a distinct and separate subnet from the others. The network
descriptions are as follows:
■
Management network – This required network connects to your existing management
network, and is used for administrative work for the Exadata Storage Servers. It connects
the servers, Oracle ILOM, and switches connected to the Ethernet switch in the rack. There
is one uplink from the Ethernet switch in the rack to your existing management network.
Note - Network connectivity to the PDUs is only required if the electric current will be
monitored remotely.
Each Exadata Storage Server use two network interfaces for management. One provides
management access to the operating system through the 1 GbE host management interface
(s), and the other provides access to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager through the
Oracle ILOM Ethernet interface.
■
InfiniBand private network – This network connects the Exadata Storage Servers using
the InfiniBand switches on the rack. This non-routable network is fully contained in the
Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack, and 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.
