Extension of Oracle Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) may involve increasing the number of compute nodes within a rack to maximize the number of virtual machines that are capable of running on the appliance and to increase the processing power and memory available to existing virtual machines. The process of extending the Oracle PCA in this way requires that you install additional servers into the rack. This operation requires that the system is powered down and physical changes are made to the system, therefore you should review the task map provided in Section 6.1, “Extending Compute Capacity Task Map” before continuing. Each step to perform the operation is described in detail in this section.
This chapter explains how to extend your Oracle PCA by adding compute nodes to the system.
