Users can connect twenty 10GBase-T ports from the switch to Oracle servers, storage, and Oracle Database Appliance since they already have on their system 1/10GBase-T ports. The SFP28 ports support 10Gb and 25Gb fibre and twinaxial cable (twinax), depending on the SFP modules used in these ports. For 10GBase-T public networking, use the Cat-6 network cables. The following figure shows how to connect two fiber-optic cables to the dual-port HBA (one cable per port). Note - It is not necessary to. Oracle's Sun Network 10 GbE Switch 72p with 16 QSFP and 8 SFP+ ports is used as an aggregation switch with the Oracle Switch ES1-24 as a top-of-rack (ToR) switch. Cisco UCS is an ideal platform for the architecture of mission critical database workloads such as Oracle RAC. For instructions, refer to the documentation supplied with the Fibre Channel HBA.
