Oracle Server X6-2M Differences

The Oracle Server X6-2M is a customized modular version of the Oracle Server X6-2. These are the Oracle Server X6-2M differences for the Netra Modular System.

  • Thumb-pull levers for removing a node from the system replace the green hot-swap levers.

  • After you push the Power button, the green Power/OK LED begins flashing to indicate hot-swap is initiated. See Oracle Server X6-2M LEDs.

  • FBA provides plug-and-play capability, eliminating the cabling process. This feature is the most significant physical difference between the servers.

  • Serial console is not available because the serial port is used by the modular system to detect the node's presence. Access to the SP is through the network (NET_MGT) port through a switch in the FMM. See FMM Serial Port.

  • The node power supply is not a CRU-serviceable item.

  • The BIOS is customized.

  • Some Oracle ILOM functions are either not available or have restrictions.

  • Implementation of support for Ethernet adapters, PCIe cards, and switch updates may vary. See Switch and Node Configurations.

  • The DVD drive is not available.


Note -  Because the nodes are identical in their serviceable components (DIMMs, hard drives, batteries, and fans) to the Oracle Server X6-2, the procedures for servicing these Oracle Server X6-2M components are mostly the same. The key difference is that some FRUs can be accessed only by removing the FBA.

The Oracle ILOM on a node in the modular system supports all the standard Oracle ILOM interfaces that are described in the Oracle ILOM documentation.
