Complete the Hardware Selection Page

1. Review the Hardware Selection page.
   
2. Open the proper folder in the Hardware Selection page for your configuration.

   You must determine the following things before you can make a choice in this page:

   • The type of SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 that you have (Half Rack or Full Rack).

   • How many total domains are on your SPARC T4-4 servers, and which domain you are setting zones up on.

   • The number of IB HCAs that are associated with that Database Domain. See Understanding Domain Configurations for more information.

   • Whether you have high performance disks (HP) or high capacity (HC) disk in the Exadata Storage Servers.

   For example, assume you are entering information for the following cluster setup at this point:

   • A Half Rack version of the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4

   • You have three total domains, and you are setting up zones on the first domain

   • There are two IB HCAs associated with this domain

   • You have high performance (HP) disks in the Exadata Storage Servers

   then you would open the following folder in the Hardware Selection page:

   Half Rack HP 2HCA

   The following figure shows the selections that would be available for that folder.

   
   
3. Make the appropriate selection within the folder that you opened.

   The selections provided in this folder reflect the total number of similar Database Domains that you could create zones in for your system.

   For example, within the Half Rack HP 2HCA folder, you would see the following options:

   • SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 2

   • SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 3

   • SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 4

   The number at the end of each option denotes the number of domains with 2 IB HCAs that you could be part of this cluster. Therefore:

   • If you are creating a cluster that spans across two domains with 2 IB HCAs, you would select SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 2

   • If you are creating a cluster that spans across three domains with 2 IB HCAs, you would select SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 3

   • If you are creating a cluster that spans across four domains with 2 IB HCAs, you would select SSC Half Rack HP 2HCA 4

   When you have selected the proper configuration for your system, click the Add button to add that selection to the This is your deployment window, then click Next. The Networking page is displayed.

4. When you have selected the proper configuration for your system, click the Add button to add that selection to the This is your deployment window, then click Next.
