Network Connection Requirements for ZDLRA Rack

Prior to installation, network cables must be run from your existing network infrastructure to the installation site. The requirements to connect Recovery Appliance to your existing network infrastructure are as follows:

Network Connection Requirements

Administration Network

  • Mandatory: 1 uplink for the Management Network Switch.

  • Recommended: 2 uplinks for remote monitoring of the power distribution units (PDUs).

  • Optional: 1 uplink for ILOM on each database server or storage server if using a separate ILOM network.

Client Network

  • For bonded network configurations: 2 uplinks for each database server.

  • For non-bonded network configurations: 1 uplink for each database server.

    Note: Non-bonded network configurations are not supported on Recovery Appliance X7 and later systems.

Additional Network(s)

  • For bonded network configurations: 2 uplinks for each database server and additional network.

  • For non-bonded network configurations: 1 uplink for each database server and additional network.

    Note: Non-bonded network configurations are not supported on Recovery Appliance X7 and later systems.

RDMA Network Fabric (Private Network)

No uplinks are required. The RDMA Network Fabric is completely self-contained within Recovery Appliance.
