Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack Components

Language:

Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack provides additional storage for Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 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 Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 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.
