SAN-Attached Configuration
To configure your nodes in a four-port SAN-attached configuration (see Figure 1-4), perform the
following steps:
1
Connect one optical cable from SP-A port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 0.
2
Connect one optical cable from SP-A port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1.
3
Connect one optical cable from SP-B port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 1.
4
Connect one optical cable from SP-B port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 0.
5
Connect one optical cable from HBA0 on node 1 to Fibre Channel switch 0.
6
Connect one optical cable from HBA1 on node 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1.
7
Connect one optical cable from HBA0 on node 2 to Fibre Channel switch 0.
8
Connect one optical cable from HBA1 on node 2 to Fibre Channel switch 1.
Configuring Networking and Storage for Oracle RAC 10g R2
This section provides information about setting up a Fibre Channel cluster and includes the
following procedures:
• Configuring the public and private networks
• Verifying the storage configuration
• Configuring shared storage for Oracle Clusterware and the Oracle Database
NOTE: Oracle RAC 10g R2 is a complex database configuration that requires an ordered list of procedures.
To configure networking and storage in a minimal amount of time, perform the following procedures in order.
Configuring the Public and Private Networks
NOTE: Each node requires a unique public and private IP address and an additional public IP address to serve as
the virtual IP address for the client connections and connection failover. The virtual IP address must belong to the
same subnet as the public IP address. All public IP addresses, including the virtual IP address, should be registered
with DNS. If a DNS server is not available then they must be registered in the hosts file on all the nodes.
Depending on the number of NIC ports available, configure the public and private interfaces as shown
in Table 1-7.
Table 1-7. NIC Port Assignments
NIC Port Three Ports Available Four Ports Available
1 Public IP and virtual IP Public IP
2 Private IP (NIC team) Private IP (NIC team)
3 Private IP (NIC team) Private IP (NIC team)
4 NA Virtual IP
