InfiniBand Connections for Exadata Storage Servers, Half Rack

Oracle ILOM Management Network Physical Connections (Exadata

Storage Servers)

Each Exadata Storage Server connects to the Oracle ILOM management network through a

single Oracle ILOM network port (NET MGT port) at the rear of each Exadata Storage Server.

One IP address is required for Oracle ILOM management for each Exadata Storage Server.
