High Capacity Storage

Following are the components in the High Capacity version of the storage server:

  • 12 7.2 K RPM High Capacity SAS drives. Capacities of those High Capacity disks vary, depending on the type of storage server:

    • 8 TB (X5-2L and X6-2L)

    • 10 TB (X7-2L)

  • 4 flash accelerator PCIe cards disk controller HBA with 1 GB supercap-backed write cache

    • 4 x 1.6 TB (X5-2L and X6-2L)

    • 4 x 6.4 TB (X7-2L)

  • 2 IB 4 X QDR (40 Gb/s) IB ports (1 dual-port PCIe 3.0 HCA)

  • 4 embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports

  • 1 Ethernet port for ILOM for remote management

  • Oracle Linux with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2

  • Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software

This table lists the storage capacities for a single storage server with High Capacity drives. To determine the system's total storage server capacity, multiply the single storage server capacity with the total number of storage servers in the system.
