In this scenario, you have an Exadata storage cell in an Exadata rack, and you want to add the storage cell to an Exadata storage grid that you most probably want to expand.

  1. Decommission the storage cell from its current cluster. To do this, follow the procedure in "Dropping a Storage Server from an Existing Disk Group or Storage Grid".
  2. Add the storage cell to the desired Exadata storage grid. To do this, follow the procedure in "Adding a Storage Server".
  3. Download and run the latest version of Exachk to ensure that the resulting configuration implements the latest best practices for Oracle Exadata.
