You need management network IP addresses for these components in SuperCluster M8 or SuperCluster M7:
• One 1GbE host management IP address for every dedicated domain (Database Domain or Application Domain) and Root Domain in each PDomain.
• One 1GbE host management IP address for every database zone in a Database Domain that will be set up by your Oracle installer .
• One 1GbE host management IP address for every I/O Domain that will be set up by your Oracle installer6.
• Two 1GbE host management IP addresses for every PDomain in your system (two for each service processor in your system)
• One 1GbE host management IP address for every SPARC M8 or SPARC M7 server in your SuperCluster (one for each floating service processor alias in each server)
• One 1GbE host management IP address for each of these components:
• Cisco Catalyst switch
• IB switches (3)
• PDUs (2)
• Storage servers
• ZFS storage controllers (2)
• ISCSI for ZFS controllers (2)
• One Oracle ILOM IP address for each of these components:
• Storage servers
• ZFS storage controllers (2)
Keep in mind that you might want to configure additional database zones and I/O Domains after the initial installation, therefore additional IP addresses will be required. Plan accordingly for the total number of IP addresses needed for the SuperCluster networks in the future.
