For detailed information on using your ZFS Storage Appliance as a backup target for
Oracle Exadata, see the Protecting Oracle Exadata with the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance:
Configuration Best Practices white paper on the NAS Storage Documentation page. Also
available is an Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 cluster, offered pre-racked with disk shelves as the
Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-BA to minimize set-up complexity. Integrating this appliance with
Oracle Exadata is identical to the process described above.
For detailed information, see the Protecting Oracle Exadata with the Oracle ZFS Storage
Appliance: Configuration Best Practices white paper on the NAS Storage Documentation page.

Configuring the Appliance Network
This section describes how to configure the IP network multipathing (IPMP) groups and how to
configure routing in the ZFS Storage Appliance.
If you used the Oracle Exadata Backup Configuration Utility, configure the network as
Note -
described in this section. For details, review the Best Practices white paper.
For customers seeking additional IB connectivity, more IB HCAs can be installed and
configured. For details, see the hardware overview for your controller in
Appliance Customer Service
The principles in this section can be applied to a 10Gb Ethernet implementation by applying the
network configuration to the ixgbe interfaces instead of the ibp interfaces. The 10Gb Ethernet
implementation may be configured as active/active IPMP. If the ZFS Storage Appliance is on
a different subnet than the Oracle Exadata, it may be necessary to create static routes from the
ZFS Storage Appliance to the Oracle Exadata. Consult with your network administrator for
details.
