Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack Components

Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack provides additional storage for SPARC SuperCluster T4-4. The additional storage can be used for backups, historical data, and unstructured data. Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Racks can be used to add space to SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 as follows:

  • Add new Exadata Storage Servers and grid disks to a new Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) disk group.

  • Extend existing disk groups by adding grid disks in Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack.

  • Split Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack among multiple SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 systems.

Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack is available as a full rack, half rack, or quarter rack. The following table lists the components included in each type of Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack.
