Securing the Exadata Storage Servers

Language:

The Exadata storage servers (storage servers) are the storage building block of SuperCluster. Each storage server is delivered preinstalled and integrated as part of SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 with all of the necessary compute, storage, and software components.

Note - You are only permitted to make changes to the configuration through the application of approved methods, patches, or updates. The storage server software may not be altered in any other manner.

SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 have a minimum of three storage servers. Additional storage servers might be installed in the main SuperCluster rack and in optional expansion racks. You must secure each individual storage server.

These topics describe how to secure the storage servers:

Log into the Storage Server OS
Change Storage Server Passwords
Default Exposed Network Services (Storage Servers)
Hardening the Storage Server Security Configuration
Limiting Remote Network Access
