Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

Three Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 switches are needed when cabling racks together. The SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 and the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack include three Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 switches. Two switches are used as leaf switches, and the third switch is used as a spine switch. These switches attach to standard Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) connectors at the end of the InfiniBand cables. The procedures in this section assume the racks are adjacent to each other. If they are not, then longer cables may be required for the connections.


Note -  The Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack contains only two Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 switches (the leaf switches), so no spine switch is available in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack. See Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 for more information.

InfiniBand Switch Information for the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

In the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, the switch at rack unit 1 (U1) is referred to as the spine switch. The switches at rack unit 18 (U18) and rack unit 24 (U24) are referred to as leaf switches. In a single rack, the two leaf switches are interconnected using seven connections. In addition, each leaf switch has one connection to the spine switch. The leaf switches connect to the spine switch as shown in the following graphic.

InfiniBand Switch Information for the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

In the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack, the switch at rack unit 1 (U1) is referred to as the spine switch, except for the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack which has no spine switch. The switches at rack unit 20 (U20) and rack unit 24 (U24) are referred to as leaf switches.

Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

These topics describe how to connect an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to your SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 from Oracle.


Note -  Only one Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack can be connected to a SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 Half Rack or Full Rack.

Note -  For instructions on connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, see Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.

The following graphic shows the cable connections from an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to a SPARC SuperCluster T4-4. The leaf switches within each rack maintain their existing seven connections. The leaf switches interconnect between the racks with two links each using the ports reserved for external connectivity.

image:Graphic showing an expansion quarter rack connected to a SPARC                         SuperCluster Half Rack or Full Rack.

The following graphic shows the cable connections from an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to two or more racks. The following racks can connect to an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack:

  • SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 Half Rack

  • SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 Full Rack

  • Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack

  • Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack

The racks are interconnected using a fat-tree topology. Each leaf switch in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack connects to the spine switches in the other Half Racks or Full Racks with two links each. If there are more than four racks, then use one link instead of two.

image:Graphic showing an expansion quarter rack connected to two or more half                         or full racks.

The following terms are used when referring to the two racks:

  • Rack 1 (R1) refers to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

  • Rack 2 (R2) refers to the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack

In addition, because the InfiniBand switches are physically located in different rack units in the two racks, the following terms are used when referring to the InfiniBand switches:

  • InfiniBand 1 (IB1) refers to the spine switch, located in U1 in the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

  • InfiniBand 2 (IB2) refers to the first leaf switch, located in:

    • U18 in the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

    • U20 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

  • InfiniBand 3 (IB3) refers to the second leaf switch, located in U24 in both racks

The following table shows the cable connections for a single Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to a SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.

Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

These topics describe how to connect an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to your SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 from Oracle.


Note -  For instructions on connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, see Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.

When connecting multiple racks together, remove the seven existing inter-switch connections between each leaf switches, as well as the two connections between the leaf switches and the spine switch. From each leaf switch, distribute eight connections over the spine switches in all racks. In multi-rack environments, the leaf switches inside a rack are no longer directly interconnected, as shown in the following graphic.

image:Graphic showing connections between two racks.

As shown in the preceding graphic, each leaf switch in rack 1 connects to the following switches:

  • Four connections to its internal spine switch

  • Four connections to the spine switch in rack 2

The spine switch in rack 1 connects to the following switches:

  • Eight connections to both internal leaf switches

  • Eight connections to both leaf switches in rack 2

The following terms are used when referring to the two racks:

  • Rack 1 (R1) refers to the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

  • Rack 2 (R2) refers to the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

In addition, because the InfiniBand switches are physically located in different rack units in the two racks, the following terms are used when referring to the InfiniBand switches:

  • InfiniBand 1 (IB1) refers to the spine switch, located in U1 in both racks

  • InfiniBand 2 (IB2) refers to the first leaf switch, located in:

    • U18 in the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

    • U20 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

  • InfiniBand 3 (IB3) refers to the second leaf switch, located in U24 in both racks
