1.2.2 Compatibility with Oracle Database

When the minimum required versions are met, all Oracle Database features are fully supported with Oracle Exadata System Software.

Oracle Exadata System Software works equally well with single-instance or Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) deployments of Oracle Database. Oracle Data Guard, Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), Oracle GoldenGate, and other database features are managed the same with Exadata storage cells as with traditional storage. This enables database administrators to use the same tools with which they are familiar.

Refer to My Oracle Support Doc ID 888828.1 for a complete list of the minimum required software versions.
