The FC configuration is the most common implementation of the Oracle MaxRep for SAN. The FC configuration provides an FC data path between the Oracle FS System and the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine. The Replication Engine is connected to the customer’s SAN network using 8 Gb/s FC connections.
The FC configuration requires two 8 Gb/s FC HBA to be installed in the PCI slots of the Replication Engine, in addition to 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.
