SAN data paths require FC connections. Single-mode and multi-mode optical fiber connections are supported on PCIe cards.
- Prerequisite:
The fibre channel (FC) data paths require 8 GbE or 16 GbE optical FC connections.
Note: The type of connection (Ethernet or FC) was defined when the Oracle FS System was ordered.
Caution
Use only the Oracle-supplied SFP modules for the external cabling.The following figure shows the SAN HBA connections from the Controllers to the customer data network.

- For SAN FC connections, connect the FC cables from the SAN FC ports on the Controllers to the customer’s SAN environment.
- Route the cables through the Controller cable management arm (CMA).
