2.4.1.3 Bonded Network Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X4-8, X5-8, and X6-8
When using a bonded network configuration for database client access on Oracle
Exadata Database Machine X4-8, X5-8, and X6-8, the database servers are
configured as follows:
•
Port NET0: Provides access to the operating system using the management
network through the ETH0 interface.
•
P0 at 3 PCIe3: Provides access to the database using the client access network,
and is bonded with port P0 at 13 PCIe3, to create the BONDETH0 interface.
•
P0 at 13 PCIe3: Provides access to the database using the client access network,
and is bonded with port P0 at 3 PCIe3 to create the BONDETH1 interface.
•
Port NET MGT: Provides access to ILOM using the management network.
The following table shows the port connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X4-8, X5-8, and X6-8 database servers when using channel bonding.
