Modular System Overview

The modular system includes the hardware and software that you specified and is assembled at the factory and shipped to you. You can expand the modular system later by adding more compute nodes and additional components (such as storage to those nodes) or an additional modular system.


Note -  Compute nodes are shipped in separate boxes. For instructions on unpacking and installing compute nodes, see Add Nodes Included in Shipment.

This table lists the hardware and software components in the modular system. For more detail on each component, refer to the Data Sheet (http://www.oracle.com/servers/netra/netra-modular-system/index.html).

Feature
Description
Compute nodes and management nodes
  • Management node software preinstalled at the frame level.

  • From 2 to 30 compute nodes supported, and each compute node can support a choice of OS and virtualization technology.

  • Each can be added and removed without any downtime. The modular system also automatically brings up and configures each node as it is inserted.

Ethernet switches
  • Two Oracle ES2-64 copper switches, providing one redundant 10-Gb network, with uplinks.

  • Up to four Oracle ES2-72 fiber optic switches, providing up to two more redundant 10-Gb networks, with uplinks.

  • One direct copper 10-Gb Ethernet uplink to every node in the system, providing one nonredundant 10-Gb Ethernet connection to every node in the system.

MPO coupler panels
Up to four fiber-optic coupler panels can be preinstalled instead of internal Ethernet fiber switches. The node configurations will determine the number of coupler panels required.
Provides the backplane features for nodes, networking, and storage devices in the system. The FMM manages the frame backplane nodes and provides a management switch for the management components installed in the system.
SPs
An integrated SP. Each switch and the FMM also contain an SP. The SP has Oracle ILOM firmware embedded on it.
Precabled
Precabled for Fabrics 1, 2, 3, and 4. Fabrics 2 and 3 are optional.
PDU options
22 kVA low voltage, 22 kVA high voltage, 24 kVA low voltage, or 24 kVA high voltage per power strip.
42RU seismic frame
42RU high, 1000-mm deep rack.
