What type of engineered system rack are you installing? (Exadata Database Machine, Big Data Appliance, Oracle Cloud Machine, Exadata Storage Expansion, Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance, etc.)
Is the rack installation an extension to an existing system, rather than a new installation? If it is an extension to an existing system, refer to the multi-rack cabling information for your Engineered System.
How many racks will be installed?
Have you ordered the multi-rack cabling service?
Are all Engineered System racks adjacent to each other?
If the connecting racks are not within the specified proximity, or you are connecting more than 3 racks together, then have you completed the following tasks? Purchased longer RDMA Network Fabric cables from an approved third-party provider? Asked Oracle Support Services to provide and schedule the custom multi-rack cabling service with the installation?
If you are connecting the new rack to other Oracle racks, does each rack that requires a spine switch have one installed?
If any of the racks you plan to interconnect using the RDMA Network Fabric are missing a required spine switch, have you ordered the switch and cables?
If your data center does not have the required network infrastructure for connecting to the rack, have you ordered a suitable network switch?
If the Management Network Switch is being replaced, then have you arranged for the replacement switch installation?
Will additional equipment be attached to or installed in the rack? If yes, then: Describe the additions Have you verified that the additional equipment falls within Oracle guidelines? Is sufficient power and cooling available for the additional equipment?
