1.2.1 Elastic Configuration

Elastic configuration enables you to customize Oracle Exadata Rack within set limits. For example, using elastic configuration, Oracle Exadata Database Machine X9M-2 can have 0 to 22 database servers, 0 to 19 Exadata Storage Servers, or a combination of database servers and Exadata Storage Servers.

Note:

Oracle Exadata Rack collectively refers to Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack.

You can use Oracle Exadata Configuration Assistant (OECA) to quickly and easily define an elastic configuration. OECA automatically validates each Oracle Exadata Rack configuration and produces a report that contains the associated environmental specifications (power requirements, cooling requirements, rack weight, and so on).

OECA is available on Oracle Technology Network:
