3.6 Maintaining the M.2 Disks of Oracle Exadata Storage Server

Oracle Exadata X7 and later systems come with two internal M.2 devices that contain the system area.

In all previous systems, the first two disks of the Oracle Exadata Storage Server are system disks and the portions on these system disks are referred to as the system area.

Note:

Oracle Exadata Rack and Oracle Exadata Storage Servers can remain online and available while replacing an M.2 disk.

• Monitoring the Status of M.2 Disks
  You can monitor the status of a M.2 disk by checking its attributes with the CellCLI LIST PHYSICALDISK command.
• Replacing a M.2 Disk Due to Failure or Other Problems
