Overview

The Storage and Networking Guide for Oracle Database on

Microsoft Windows applies to:

• Oracle Database 10g R2 Enterprise Edition on Microsoft Windows Server

2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise x64 Edition or Windows Server 2008 SP2

Enterprise or Standard x64 Edition.

• Oracle Database 10g R2 Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003 R2

SP2 Standard x64 Edition or Windows Server 2008 SP2 Standard

x64

Edition.

and software versions, how to install and configure the operating system,

how to verify the hardware and software configurations, and how to obtain

open source files.

•

Oracle Database on Microsoft Windows Server x64 Storage and Network

Guide

—Describes how to install and configure the network and the

8 Overview

Terminology Used in This Document

This document uses the terms logical unit number (LUN) and virtual disk.

These terms are synonymous and can be used interchangeably. The term

LUN is commonly used in a Dell/EMC Fibre Channel storage system

environment and virtual disk is commonly used in a Dell PowerVault SAS

or iSCSI (Dell PowerVault MD3000 and Dell PowerVault MD3000i with

Dell PowerVault MD1000 expansion) storage environment.

Dell EqualLogic PS series storage arrays include storage virtualization

technology. To better understand how these arrays operate, it is helpful to be

familiar with some of the terminologies used to describe these arrays and

their functions:

•

Member

—A single PS series array.

•

Group

—A set of one or more members that can be centrally managed.

Host servers access the data through a single group IP address.

•

Pool

—A RAID that can consist of the disks from one or more members.

•

Volume

—A LUN or virtual disk that represents a subset of the capacity of

a pool.

Fibre Channel Cluster Setup

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, read the

safety information that shipped with your system. For additional best practices

information, see dell.com/regulatory_compliance.

After a Dell Managed Services representative completes the setup of your

Fibre Channel cluster, verify the hardware connections and the hardware and

software configurations as described in this section. Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2

show an overview of the connections required for the cluster and Table 2-1

summarizes the cluster connections.

Fibre Channel Cluster Setup 13

Cabling Your Dell/EMC Fibre Channel Storage

You can configure your Oracle cluster storage system in a four-port storage

area network (SAN) attached configuration, depending on your needs.

See the following procedures for both configurations.

Figure 2-2 illustrates the hardware connections used in setting up a

SAN-attached Fibre Channel cluster.
