Ethernet ports
Each Replication Engine that uses FC-only connectivity to a primary or secondary Oracle FS System requires two Ethernet connections: a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) RJ-45 connection for management, a 1 GbE RJ-45 connection for hardware monitoring and ILOM access. To support IP bonding for the management interface, an additional 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet port is required.
Environment
Connectivity between metro area sites for synchronous replication must include an extension of the local SAN fabric to the remote site using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) over dark fibre, which is the network system that consists of fibre optic cables between the primary and secondary locations. Sufficient bandwidth must be available to accommodate the change rate of the source data, as well as 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.
