Installing the Tape Hardware

Oracle Secure Backup tape backup is an option to Recovery Appliance. You must install the QLogic ZLE8362 fiber cards and transceivers on site; they are not factory installed.

The QLogic fiber cards are shipped from Oracle as ride-alongs with the rack. The transceivers are shipped directly from the supplier.

To install the tape networking hardware:

  1. Insert a fiber card into PCiE Slot 1 of each compute server.
  2. Verify that the cards are seated properly and align with the adjacent cards.
  3. Install the transceivers in the SAN switch or tape library, and cable them to the fiber cards.

    If the SAN switch and tape library are not installed yet, then contact your supplier.
