Understanding the Software Configurations
Note - You can also connect just one port in each IPMP group to the 10-GbE network rather
than both ports, if you are limited in the number of 10-GbE connections that you can make to
your 10-GbE network. However, you will not have the redundancy and increased bandwidth in
this case.
InfiniBand Network
The connections to the InfiniBand network vary, depending on the type of domain:
■
Database Domain:
■
Storage private network: Connections through P1 (active) and P0 (standby) on the
InfiniBand HCA associated with the CPU associated with each Small Domain.
For example, for a Small Domain that is associated with CPU0, these connections would
be through the InfiniBand HCA installed in slot 3, through ports P1 (active) and P0
(standby) on that InfiniBand HCA.
■
Exadata private network: Connections through P0 (active) and P1 (standby) on the
InfiniBand HCA associated with the CPU associated with each Small Domain.
For example, for a Small Domain that is associated with CPU0, these connections would
be through the InfiniBand HCA installed in slot 3, through ports P0 (active) and P1
(standby) on that InfiniBand HCA.
■
Application Domain:
■
Storage private network: Connections through P1 (active) and P0 (standby) on the
InfiniBand HCA associated with the CPU associated with each Small Domain.
For example, for a Small Domain that is associated with CPU0, these connections would
be through the InfiniBand HCA installed in slot 3, through ports P1 (active) and P0
(standby) on that InfiniBand HCA.
■
Oracle Solaris Cluster private network: Connections through P0 (active) and P1
(standby) on the InfiniBand HCA associated with the CPU associated with each Small
Domain.
For example, for a Small Domain that is associated with CPU0, these connections would
be through the InfiniBand HCA installed in slot 3, through ports P0 (active) and P1
(standby) on that InfiniBand HCA.
Understanding Full Rack Configurations
In the Full Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, each SPARC T5-8 server has four
processor modules (PM0 through PM3), with two sockets or PCIe root complex pairs on each
