2.2.4 Add a Storage Server

Adding an Exadata storage server to an existing Exascale cluster enables you to:

• Add storage space to the Exascale storage pools.
• Run Exascale cluster services on the Exadata storage server.

To add a storage server to an existing cluster use the Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) command line interface (OEDACLI):

1. Load the OEDA XML system configuration file.

   oedacli> LOAD FILE NAME=es.xml

2. Clone an existing storage server to add a storage server to the Exascale cluster definition.

   For example:

   oedacli> CLONE NEWCELL SRCNAME=cell07.example.com TGTNAME=cell10.example.com
   oedacli> SET ADMINNET NAME=cell10.example.com IP=192.0.2.21 NETMASK=255.255.248.0 GATEWAY=192.0.2.1
   oedacli> SET PRIVNET NAME1=cell10-priv1.example.com IP1=192.168.0.27 NAME2=cell10-priv2.example.com IP2=192.168.0.28
   oedacli> SET ILOMNET NAME=cell10-ilom.example.com IP=198.51.100.110
   oedacli> SET RACK NUM=1, ULOC=8
   oedacli> SAVE ACTION FORCE

   In the example:

   • The name of the existing storage server being cloned is cell07.example.com.

   • The name of the new storage server being added is cell10.example.com.

   • The host names, network addresses, and rack details are all examples and you must substitute your own valid values.

3. Save the OEDA XML system configuration file.

   oedacli> SAVE FILE NAME=es.xml

4. Alter the cluster containing the storage servers and deploy the changes.

   For example:

   oedacli> ALTER CLUSTER ADDCELLS='cell10.example.com' WHERE CLUSTERNUMBER=1
   oedacli> SAVE ACTION
   oedacli> MERGE ACTIONS
   oedacli> DEPLOY ACTIONS

   In the example, the example cluster number is 1 and you must substitute your own valid value.
