8.4.4.2 Configure Option 2: ASR Support and Shared Path for Management and
Disaster Recovery, with Single Management URL
In this custom configuration, the igb0 port on your active storage head (head 1) is
used, and the management option is enabled. The igb0 port on your stand-by storage
head (head 2) is not used. The igb1 port on your stand-by storage head (head 2) is
used, and the management option is disabled. The igb2 and igb3 ports are bonded
with IP Multipathing (IPMP), and the management option is enabled on both igb2

the Exalogic machine, using ports igb0 and igb1
• Supports disaster recovery for the Exalogic machine, using ports igb2 and igb3
• Provides Exalogic Configuration Utility, which is used to reconfigure the Exalogic
