Replication Engine Service Procedures

The Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine consists of several replaceable components. Many Replication Engine components are customer replaceable units (CRUs), while others are field replaceable units (FRUs) that require Oracle Customer Support to perform the replacement. Also, some components are hot-serviceable, meaning that they can be replaced while the Replication Engine is powered on. Some of the Replication Engine component replacement procedures require the Replication Engine to be powered off and/or removed from the rack.

When replacing a Replication Engine CRU or FRU, you must know its part number and whether it is hot serviceable. Having that information helps you to order the correct replacement component and to determine whether you can replace the component yourself.

To locate part numbers, open Oracle System Handbook (https://support.oracle.com/ handbook_partner/index.html) and go to Current Systems, and select Oracle MaxRepReplication Engine under Disk Arrays. Part numbers are listed in the components list.

Some FRUs and CRUs can be accessed from the front or back of the Replication Engine. For replacing other FRUs and CRUs, you must open the top cover of the Replication Engine. The following table provides a summary of the Replication Engine FRUs and CRUs.
