As of SuperCluster software version 2.4, you can have up to eight different client access networks for dedicated domains. Provide this information in the Configuration Worksheets so that Oracle personnel configure SuperCluster with the desired number of networks during the installation.
Keep in mind that after the installation, you might want to configure additional database zones and I/O Domains , therefore additional IP addresses will be needed for the 10GbE client access network. Plan accordingly for the total number of IP addresses needed for the 10GbE client access network for the future.
Minimum Required Client Network IP Addresses Required for the Installation:
One 10GbE client access IP address for certain domains:
One 10GbE client access IP address for every dedicated domain (Database Domain or Application Domain) in each PDomain.
For Root Domains, one 10GbE client access IP address only if the Root Domain is the first domain in the first PDomain.
Note that no other Root Domains in your SuperCluster M8 or SuperCluster M7 need a 10GbE client access IP address.
One 10GbE client access IP address for every database zone in a Database Domain that will be set up by your Oracle installer .
One 10GbE client access IP address for every I/O Domain that will be set up by your Oracle installer.
Two 10GbE client access IP addresses for the ZFS storage controllers. Note that these IP addresses are automatically pulled from the first (default) client access network.
10GbE client access IP addresses for Oracle RAC VIP and SCAN for every Database Domain (either dedicated domain or Database I/O Domain) and database zone that are part of a RAC:
One Oracle RAC VIP address for each Database Domain (either dedicated domain or Database I/O Domain) that is part of a RAC
One Oracle RAC VIP address for every database zone within a Database Domain (dedicated domain) that is part of a RAC
Three SCAN IP addresses for each Oracle RAC in your SuperCluster M8 or SuperCluster M7
