Network Requirements Overview
Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 includes SPARC T5-8 servers, Exadata Storage Servers, and the ZFS
storage appliance, as well as equipment to connect the SPARC T5-8 servers to your network.
The network connections enable the servers to be administered remotely and enable clients to
connect to the SPARC T5-8 servers.
Each SPARC T5-8 server consists of the following network components and interfaces:
■
4 embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3) for connection to the
host management network
■
1 Ethernet port (NET MGT) for Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM)
remote management
■
Either 4 (Half Rack) or 8 (Full Rack) dual-ported Sun QDR InfiniBand PCIe Low Profile
host channel adapters (HCAs) for connection to the InfiniBand private network
■
Either 4 (Half Rack) or 8 (Full Rack) dual-ported Sun Dual 10-GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low
Profile network interface cards (NICs) for connection to the 10-GbE client access network
Note - The QSFP modules for the 10-GbE PCIe 2.0 network cards are purchased separately.
Each Exadata Storage Server consists of the following network components and interfaces:
■
1 embedded Gigabit Ethernet port (NET0) for connection to the host management network
■
1 dual-ported Sun QDR InfiniBand PCIe Low Profile host channel adapter (HCA) for
connection to the InfiniBand private network
■
1 Ethernet port (NET MGT) for Oracle ILOM remote management
Each ZFS storage controller consists of the following network components and interfaces:
■
1 embedded Gigabit Ethernet port for connection to the host management network:
