Pilot Network Requirements

For a Pilot to integrate successfully into a customer network, that network needs to be configured properly.

The Pilot management network has the following requirements:

Two 10 GbE, full-duplex ports for the public connection to the management network. For added redundancy, the two connections should be to separate switches. The Oracle FS System provides a standard Cat6 RJ-45 jack on each of the two Pilot nodes for this connection.
Three IP addresses on the same subnet: one IP for the physical interface of each Pilot and one public IP that is shared between the two Pilots.

For complete information on setting up and using the management network, refer to the following documentation:

Oracle FS1-2 Flash Storage System Installation Guide
Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide

The Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM) communicates with the Pilot using securely encrypted messages. If FSPM is installed on a SAN host, that host requires an Ethernet interface for communication with the Oracle FS System Manager that is running on the Pilot. The network configuration must allow the SAN host to reach the Pilot management IP interfaces on TCP Port 26012.

For complete information on using FSPM, refer to the appropriate version of the Oracle FS Path Manager Installation Guide.
