F Multirack Cabling Tables
This appendix describes the hardware connections and contains the tables for multirack cabling. It contains the following sections:
F.1 About Multirack Cabling
You can connect multiple Oracle Big Data Appliance racks, or a combination of Oracle Big Data Appliance racks, Oracle Exadata Database Machine racks, Oracle Exalogic racks, and Oracle SuperCluster racks.
The Oracle Big Data Appliance rack has a Sun Datacenter QDR InfiniBand Switch for the spine switch at rack unit 1 (U1). The rack also has two Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway switches for the leaf switches at rack units 20 and 24 (U20 and U24). See Figure E-1.
These switches attach to standard quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) connectors at the end of the InfiniBand cables. This document describes how to cable together up to 8 racks without external InfiniBand switches. For systems larger than 8 racks, contact Oracle Support for assistance with formulating a plan.
The cable lengths in this appendix are for adjacent racks with the cables running underneath the racks. In this scenario, the cables are generally 3 feet long to connect within the rack, 5 feet long to connect up to two racks away, and 10 feet long to connect three or more racks away. If the racks are apart or the cables run above the racks, then longer cables may be required. The cable lengths listed here are provided only as a guideline. You should always verify the actual cable lengths required.
F.1.1 Cabling Together Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Big Data Appliance
Oracle Exadata Database Machine full racks and half racks must have a spine switch. If the rack does not have a spine switch, then be sure to order an Exadata Expansion Switch Kit for the installation.
An Oracle Exadata Database Machine eighth or quarter rack does not require a spine switch to connect to a Oracle Big Data Appliance, whether it is a starter rack, a starter rack with High Capacity nodes plus InfiniBand Infrastructure, or a full rack.
F.1.2 Cable Connections for Switches in One Rack
In a single rack, the two leaf switches are connected by seven cables.
Each leaf switch has one cable to the spine switch. Nine servers connect to one leaf switch, and the other nine servers connect to the other leaf switch, as shown in Figure F-1.
Figure F-1 Connections Between Spine Switch and Leaf Switches

Description of "Figure F-1 Connections Between Spine Switch and Leaf Switches"
The servers connect to the leaf switches as shown in Figure F-2.

Description of "Figure F-2 Connections Between the Servers and the Leaf Switches"
F.1.3 Cable Connections for Switches in Two Racks
When you connect multiple racks, remove the seven interswitch connections between leaf switches and the two connections between the leaf switches and the spine switch. From each leaf switch, distribute eight connections over the spine switches in all racks. In multirack environments, the leaf switches inside a rack are not directly interconnected, as shown in Figure F-3.
Figure F-3 shows that each leaf switch in rack 1 connects to the following switches:
-
Four connections to its internal spine switch
-
Four connections to the spine switch in rack 2
The spine switch in rack 1 connects to the following switches:
-
Eight connections to the internal leaf switches (four to each rack 1 switch)
-
Eight connections to the leaf switches in rack 2 (four to each rack 2 switch)

Description of "Figure F-3 Connecting Switches Across Two Racks"
F.1.4 Cable Connections for Switches in Up to Eight Racks
As the number of racks increases from two to eight, the pattern continues as shown in Figure F-4. Because not all of the racks are shown, not all of the cables are shown either.
Each leaf switch has eight interswitch connections distributed over all spine switches. Each spine switch has 16 interswitch connections distributed over all leaf switches. The leaf switches are not directly interconnected with other leaf switches, and the spine switches are not directly interconnected with the other spine switches.

F.9 Eight-Rack Cabling
Table F-28 shows the cable connections for the first spine switch (R1-U1) when cabling eight racks.
Note:
-
The spine switch is in U1 (IB1) for all racks.
-
The leaf switches are in U20 (IB2) and U24 (IB3).
-
In this section, the leaf switches are called IB2 and IB3.
