Determine the Available Existing Storage Capacity

You must first determine how much existing storage capacity is available before deciding how to carve that storage up for the disk groups for each cluster that you create.

Every Exadata Storage Server contains 12 drives, and the capacity of those drives varies, depending on the type of drives that are installed:

In addition, the total number of Exadata Storage Servers varies, depending on the type of SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 and Exadata Storage Expansion Rack that you have:

Rack Type
Quarter Rack
Half Rack
Full Rack
SPARC SuperCluster T4-4
N/A
4
8
Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack
4
9
18

Finally, the total capacity that you have available depends on the level of redundancy that you want to set for the ASM disk groups (normal redundancy or high redundancy).

The following tables provide capacity information for the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 and the Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack.
