Connecting Cluster Cables for Oracle ZFS Storage ZS11-2 Controllers

Oracle ZFS Storage ZS11-2 controllers employ Ethernet-based clustering using two Ethernet ports in the Oracle Quad Port 10GBASE-T Ethernet Adapter. See Controller Cluster I/O Ports for details about the Oracle ZFS Storage ZS11-2 controller cluster interface card.

Two Category 6A Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors are provided: one green and one red. Each cable is 2.5 meters in length.

Connect either the green cable or the red cable from Ethernet port 0 of one controller to Ethernet port 0 of the other controller.
Connect the other cable from Ethernet port 1 of one controller to Ethernet port 1 of the other controller.

The following figure shows cluster cabling between two Oracle ZFS Storage ZS11-2 controllers (high-end model shown).
