You can use the multirack cabling service to connect an Exalogic machine with one or more Exalogic machines, or with one or more Exadata Database Machines. This guide discusses in detail how to perform multirack cabling tasks in the following scenarios:
Connecting an Exalogic machine full rack to another Exalogic machine full rack, as described in Connecting Two Exalogic Machines
Connecting an Exalogic machine full rack to an Exadata Database Machine full rack, as described in Connecting Exalogic and Exadata Machines
Connecting an Exalogic machine quarter rack to an Exadata Database Machine quarter rack, as described in Connecting Exalogic and Exadata Machines
Multirack Cabling Diagrams for Exalogic-to-Exalogic Scenarios contains network connectivity diagrams for one Exalogic machine connected to another Exalogic machine, and for the scenario where eight Exalogic full racks are connected.
Multirack Cabling Diagrams for Exalogic-to-Exadata Scenarios contains network connectivity diagrams for one Exalogic machine connected to one Exadata machine.
Any combination of up to eight racks of Exalogic machines or Exadata Database Machines can be connected together. If you need to connect a combination of more than eight Exalogic machine full racks or Exadata Database Machine full racks, you will require additional switches, such as an M9-648 port modular switch. A detailed discussion of such scenarios is beyond the scope of this guide. For more information, please contact Oracle Support.
For detailed information about the hardware components of the Exalogic machine and the rack layout, see the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Machine Owner's Guide.
