Description of "Figure 6-1 Connectivity Between Exalogic Machine Full Rack and Exadata Database Machine Full Rack in a Multirack Scenario"
Each Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch (NM2-GW) in the Exalogic machine full rack is connected to its local spine switch (Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 (NM2-36P). See the red connecting lines in Figure 6-1 (EL Rack #1).
Then each leaf switch in the Exadata Database Machine full rack is connected to its local spine switch. See the red connecting lines in Figure 6-1 (ED X2-2 Rack #2).
Subsequently, each leaf switch in the Exalogic machine full rack is connected to the spine switch of the Exadata Database Machine. See the blue connecting lines in Figure 6-1.
Finally, each leaf switch in the Exadata Database Machine is connected to the spine switch of the Exalogic machine. See the green connecting lines in Figure 6-1.

6.2.2.1 Removing Factory-Installed Cables (Cross-Connects) in Exalogic Machine Full Rack
Table 6-1 lists the factory-installed Exalogic machine cross-connects (cables) that should be removed.
The system naming conventions are as follows. "R" indicates an Exalogic machine rack. For example, R1 indicates rack 1. "U" indicates the unit height in the rack. For example, U24 indicates rack unit 24. U1 is located at the bottom of the rack, and U42 is at the top of the rack. For more information about Exalogic machine rack layout, see the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Machine Owner's Guide.
