Typical Exadata X2-2 network cabling
In the sample diagram, the following features are notable:
•
InfiniBand ports for both the compute server and storage server are connected to each of the
InfiniBand leaf switches; the spine switch is only used to connect the leaf switches or other
Exadata racks.
•
The ILOM port, marked “NET-MGMT” on the servers, is connected to the embedded Cisco
switch.
•
The NET0 management interface on both the compute server and storage server is connected
to the Cisco switch. The Cisco switch uplinks to the data center network (not shown in
Figure
1-3
) to provide access to the administrative interfaces.
•
The NET1 and NET2 interfaces on the compute servers are connected to the client data center
network and serve as the “Client Access Network.” Typically, these are bonded to form a NET1-2
interface, which servers as the public network and VIP interface for the Oracle cluster.
•
The Exadata Storage Servers have no direct connectivity to the client access network; they are
accessed for administrative purposes via the administrative interface via the embedded Cisco
switch.
Additional information about Exadata networking is discussed in Chapter 10.
