Cabling the Interconnect and Storage for Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA

This is the alternate text that describes page one of the Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA poster, or booklet.

Page one of the booklet describes Cabling the Interconnect and Storage for Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA. The page includes two graphic illustrations of the appliance, each with color-coded callouts to describe the ports.

Network and Storage Shelf

The first illustration of the appliance is on the left side of the page. The illustration shows the appliance with Node 1 at the top of the image, Node 0 beneath Node 1 and the Storage Shelf at the bottom of the image. The image has 6 callouts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). The callouts define how to connect interconnect and storage to Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA. Beneath the image are two tables, Network and Storage Shelf. Each table defines the ports associated with the callouts and descriptions of the start and end of each cable. In this alternate text description, the first column of the table describes the portion of the image for the callout. The remaining three columns of the table describe the callout and purpose, the start and the end of each cable.

Note:

The following cables are included as part of the Oracle Database Appliance shipment.
