5.1.10 Faster Recovery from Flash Cache Failure

This feature reduces the recovery time following flash cache failure by staging flash cache metadata to the M.2 solid-state drives (SSD) found on Oracle Exadata Database Machine X7 and later systems. Using the M.2 SSD speeds up resilvering table creation and the assignment of caching devices following flash failure. This feature reduces the overall brownout time following a flash failure.

Minimum requirements:

  • Oracle Exadata System Software release 21.2.0
  • Oracle Exadata Database Machine X7-2
