Connecting an Expansion Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

You connect an expansion rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 using three Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 switches. Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 for more information.

InfiniBand Switch Information for Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

In Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, the switch at rack unit 1 (U1) is referred to as the spine switch. The switches at rack unit 26 (U26) and rack unit 32 (U32) 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

These topics describe how to connect an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to your Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.


Note -  For instructions on connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, see Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

Note the following restrictions when connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8:

  • The standard version of the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack contains two leaf switches and no spine switch. You will typically make two connections for each leaf switch in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the leaf switches in the Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. Each leaf switch in the Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 must therefore have four open ports for this type of connection.

  • In the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, four ports are open on both leaf switches (ports 2A, 2B, 7B and 12A). Use the instructions in this section to make the two connections between each leaf switch in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the leaf switches in the Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

  • In the Full Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, only two ports are open on both leaf switches (ports 2A and 2B). Therefore, if you are connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the Full Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, you must order a spine switch kit from Oracle and install that spine switch in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack. You would then connect the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 using the instructions given in Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

  • Only one Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack can be connected to the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

The following graphic shows the cable connections from an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. 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 a standard Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack (with no spine switch):

  • Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

  • 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 (Half Rack)

  • 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

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

    • U26 in Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 (Half Rack)

    • U20 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

  • InfiniBand 3 (IB3) refers to the second leaf switch, located in:

    • U32 in Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 (Half Rack)

    • U24 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

The following table shows the cable connections for a single Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

These topics describe how to connect an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to your Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.


Note -  For instructions on connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to the Half Rack version of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, see Connecting an Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Quarter Rack to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.

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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

  • 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:

    • U26 in Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

    • U20 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

  • InfiniBand 3 (IB3) refers to the second leaf switch, located in:

    • U32 in Oracle SuperCluster T5-8

    • U24 in the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack

The following sections provide information for connecting Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Half Rack or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Full Rack to your Oracle SuperCluster T5-8:
