| Oracle FS System |
All source and target Oracle FS Systems must be running Oracle FS System Manager release 6.0.0, or higher.
Drive Enclosure capacity must be sized properly to account for the additional capacity required for the replication solution. The Drive Enclosure spindle count must be sized properly to account for the performance requirements for the replication solution.

| Pillar Axiom 600 |
All source and target Pillar Axiom systems must be running Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager, release 5.4.8, or higher.
Note: For all Pillar Axiom systems, refer to the release notes for a list of supported firmware running on the Oracle MaxRep

Replication Engines |
The number of Replication Engines that are required varies based on the specific replication solution. Synchronous replication between two Oracle FS Systems connected to the same SAN fabric might only require a single Replication Engine.
Complex implementations that include 1-to-many or many-to-1 synchronous and asynchronous replication with Replication Engine high availability (HA) clustering can include up to eight Replication Engines.
Refer to your account representative to ensure the number of Replication Engines in your environment is sufficient for your replication needs.
|
| Ethernet ports |
Each Replication Engine requires two RJ-45 Ethernet connections: one 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) R-J45 connection for management, and one 100BT R-J45 connection for console access by Oracle Customer Support.
Two 10 Gb/s Ethernet ports are used for management, heartbeat, and wide area network (WAN) connectivity for asynchronous replication. An additional Integrated Lights-Out Manager (ILOM) port is used for remote console accessibility for remote support.
To support IP bonding for the management interface, one additional 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet port is required.
Twisted pair (TP) ports also support 1 Gb speeds.

- Item
- iSCSI ports
- Requirement
-
Each Replication Engine that uses iSCSI connectivity to a primary or secondary Oracle FS System requires six additional Ethernet connections. These Ethernet connections are separate requirements from the Ethernet ports. These connections will be either using 10 GbE RJ-45 ports or 10 GbE optical Ethernet ports that use optional Fortville PCIe NIC cards. Note: Refer to the Oracle MaxRep for SAN Hardware Guide for additional information on Ethernet connectivity and for wiring diagrams for your specific Replication Engine hardware. iSCSI configuration is limited to 255 replication pairs.
Each Replication Engine is powered by two Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 CPUs with 24 memory slots. Each engine is redundant, hot-swappable with cooling fans, and power supply units..
Refer to the Oracle MaxRep for SAN Hardware Guide for specific power requirements.

| Browser |
Access to the management interface of the Replication Engine is provided through a standard Internet browser. Browser requirements include:
-
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later

| Environment |
Connectivity between sites for remote synchronous replication must include an extension of the local SAN fabric. This network system consists of fibre optic cables between the primary and secondary locations to the remote site using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
Sufficient bandwidth must be available to accommodate the change rate of the source data and the target Oracle FS System writes and journaling.
Connectivity between sites for remote asynchronous replication must include sufficient WAN bandwidth to accommodate the change rate of the source data.
