Oracle FS System Hardware Specifications

An Oracle Flash Storage System is an assembly of Pilots, Controllers, Drive Enclosures, power distribution units (PDUs), racks, and cables. Replication Engines are an optional component of the Oracle FS System.

The following table indicates the basic components that constitute an Oracle Flash Storage System.

Table 1 Basic components of an Oracle Flash Storage System
Component	Oracle Flash Storage System
Pilot	Two Pilots for failover and failback Management commands flow from the active Pilot to the Controllers
Controller	Two Controllers for failover and failback Provide network I/O access to customer facilities and provides a storage fabric interface between all Drive Enclosures and other Controllers.
Drive Enclosure	1 to 30. The two types of Drive Enclosure are the DE2-24P Drive Enclosure and the DE2-24C Drive Enclosure. Used as back-end storage for the Oracle FS Systems.
PDU	Two PDUs are required in each rack that is used for the installation of rack-ready Oracle FS Systems. PDUs are built-in to the Oracle racks.
Rack	At least one rack. Note: The number of racks is based on the number of Drive Enclosures and whether there are any Replication Engines included in the system. The number of racks depends on the number and the distribution of the hardware components.

The following table provides the maximum dimensions of an Oracle Flash Storage System that is fully integrated at the factory in the supported Oracle rack with Oracle PDUs.
