Ceph Storage for Oracle Linux Release 2.0 presents a uniform view of object and block storage from a cluster of multiple physical and logical commodity-hardware storage devices. Ceph can provide fault tolerance and enhance I/O performance by replicating and striping data across the storage devices in a Storage Cluster. Ceph's monitoring and self-repair features minimize administration overhead. You can configure a Storage Cluster on non-identical hardware from different manufacturers.
Ceph Storage for Oracle Linux Release 2.0 is based on the Ceph Community Jewel release (v10.2.2). Differences between Oracle versions of the software and upstream releases are limited to Oracle specific fixes and patches for specific bugs.
Ceph Storage for Oracle Linux Release 2.0 is available for Oracle Linux 7 (x86_64) running the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4. A minimum of Oracle Linux 7 Update 2 (x86_64) and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 2 is required.
The source RPMs for Ceph are available from Oracle Yum at https://yum.oracle.com.
