10 GbE Client Access Connections

Two of the four dual-ported Sun Dual 10 GbE SFP+ PCIe 2.0 Low Profile NICs in the SPARC T4-4 server are assigned to the Database Domain, installed in these slots in the SPARC T4-4 server:

• Express module slot 2

• Express module slot 10

One port from each dual-ported 10 GbE NIC is part of one IPMP group to provide redundancy. The IPMP grouping will be set during the initial configuration when the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 is first installed at the customer site. In this example, the following ports are part of one IPMP group and are used for the physical connection to the 10 GbE network for the Database Domain:

• 10 GbE NIC in express module slot 2 – Port 0

• 10 GbE NIC in express module slot 10 – Port 1

The following figure gives a graphical representation of the 10 GbE client access connections for the Database Domains on the two SPARC T4-4 servers at the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 level.
