1.2.1 Exascale Cluster

An Exascale cluster consists of Exadata storage servers operating together as a unified system, delivering storage to multiple Oracle Grid Infrastructure clusters and databases.

Each Exascale deployment comprises exactly one Exascale cluster, and each Exascale cluster operates independently of all others. An Exadata storage server may belong to only one Exascale cluster.

Within the Exascale cluster, a set of software services manages the cluster and associated system resources, such as storage pools, vaults, volumes, and other resources.
