FC configuration using RJ45 connectors is used for implementations, where the Oracle FS System has FC SAN network connectivity. The FC configuration provides an FC SAN data path between the Oracle FS System and the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine. The FC SAN data path is the primary data path for data transfers between the Oracle FS System and the Replication Engine. The Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine is connected to the customer’s LAN using 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s RJ45 connections.
The FC configuration using RJ45 connectors requires two 8 Gb/s FC HBAs and two 10 Gb/s RJ45 HBAs to be installed in the PCI slots of the Replication Engine, other than the standard SAS RAID controller. The following figure indicates the HBAs that must be installed on the Replication Engine PCI slots for the FC configuration using RJ45 connectors.
