Understanding PDomain PCIe Card Configurations

Each CMIOU has three PCIe slots. When present, the following cards are installed in certain PCIe slots and are used to connect to these networks:

  • 1GbE NICs, installed in PCIe slot 1 — Connect to the 1GbE management network

  • 10GbE NICs, installed in PCIe slot 2 — Connect to the 10GbE client access network

  • IB HCAs, installed in PCIe slot 3 — Connect to the private IB network

Optional Fibre Channel PCIe cards are also available to facilitate migration of data from legacy storage subsystems to the storage servers integrated with SuperCluster M8 or SuperCluster M7 for Database Domains, or to access SAN-based storage for the Application Domains. Fibre Channel PCIe cards can be installed in any open PCIe slot 1 in the CMIOUs installed in your system. Refer to the Oracle SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 Installation Guide for more information.

These topics show the factory default PCIe card locations based on how many CMIOUs are installed:
