Supported Hardware Components

Your Oracle-supplied parts for Oracle FS Systems and Oracle MaxRep Replication Engines are supported through Oracle Customer Support. Hardware that does not conform to Oracle FS Systems or Oracle MaxRep specifications, or is not an Oracle-supplied part, voids the warranty and might compromise data integrity.

Oracle FS Hardware Requirements

The following are the requirements for an Oracle FS System to be used as a source or target replication array:

Oracle MaxRep Engine Hardware Requirements

The following are the hardware requirements for the Oracle MaxRep for SAN Replication Engine:
  • For Fibre Channel (FC) support: The Replication Engine must have FC SAN fabric connectivity.
  • For data change rates of more than 3 TB/day, multiple Replication Engines might be required. Performance targets can vary depending upon the data that is replicated, the host access patterns to that data, and the SAN, network, and target storage resources available to the Replication Engines included in the solution.
  • Up to eight Replication Engines can be registered to a single Oracle FS System.
  • Communications to primary or secondary Oracle FS Pilots require Ethernet connectivity.

Pillar Axiom Storage System Requirements

The following are hardware requirements for the Pillar Axiom Storage system:
  • For Fibre Channel (FC) only: The Pillar Axiom Storage system must have FC SAN fabric connectivity.
  • For iSCSI only: The Pillar Axiom Storage system must have iSCSI connectivity.
  • For FC and iSCSI: The Pillar Axiom Storage system must support both FC SAN fabric and iSCSI connectivity.
  • For iSCSI support: The Pillar Axiom Storage system must have Ethernet LAN connectivity.
