Customers must supply their own Ethernet cables for connecting the Pilots to the customer management network and for connecting the Controllers to the customer data network. Oracle has no cable color requirements for connecting the Oracle FS System to the customer network.
Pilot external cables provide the management connections. Ethernet CAT6a cables connect from the NET 3 ports on the Pilot nodes to the customer management network. The connections to the customer management network must be to a highly available switch.
Controller external cables provide the connections for the host data path. Optical cables connect the SAN HBA ports on the Controller to the customer data network. Each connection requires an HBA and a specific SFP to provide the interface option.
