4 Servicing CRUs That Require System Power Off

Perform tasks for servicing customer-replaceable units (CRUs) for the Oracle Database Appliance that require you to power off system components.

Note:

The servicing of hot-plug components such as the HDDs, SDDs, power supplies, and fans is described in Servicing CRUs That Do Not Require System Power Off.

Servicing Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 Series CRUs

Provides instructions on how to perform CRU service tasks requiring system power off for Oracle Database Appliance X8 series system.

This section describes how to service customer-replaceable components that require server power off for an Oracle Database X8-2 series system. If you have some other Oracle Database Appliance model, select the appropriate link listed in Servicing CRUs That Require System Power Off.

Note:

When adding DIMMs to the system, refer to the "Optional Component Installation" section in the Owner's Guide for supported configurations.

This section describes how to service customer-replaceable units (CRUs) that require you to power off the server.

Note:

For the Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA, all of the CRUs on the storage shelf and the storage expansion shelf can be replaced while the power is on. See Oracle Database Appliance Storage Shelf Hot-Pluggable Components for storage shelf component replacement procedures.

Adding Optional Public Network PCIe Cards in Oracle Database Appliance X8-2

Describes installation sequence for adding optional public network PCIe cards to the Oracle Database Appliance X8-2.

The Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 series systems support up to three optional public network cards (or three network cards per node if you have an X8-2-HA).

  • If possible, order any optional public network cards when you initially buy the system and have the cards factory installed.

  • If your Oracle Database Appliance is running software release 18.7 and you want to add optional public network cards after your appliance has been delivered from the factory, the following rules apply:

    • All optional network cards should be installed BEFORE you initially power-on the system and install system software. Once the system is provisioned and running, adding PCIe cards afterwards will require that you perform clean-up, redeploy the appliance software, and restore the database from a backup.

    • All optional network cards must be the same type and model (refer to the table below).

    • You must install optional network cards in the proper order and slots (refer to the table below).

  • If your Oracle Database Appliance is running software release 18.8, 19.6 or later version and you want to add or replace public network cards after your appliance has been delivered from the factory, the following rules apply:

    • You can install any of the supported network cards listed in the table below.

    • You must install optional network cards in the proper order and slots (refer to the table below).

    • If you want to replace an existing network card, you must first delete the network card and its network interface using the appliance oftware. Then replace the physical network card with the new one. When the appliance is restarted the new network card will be used. For specific instructions on software removal or configuration of a public network card, refer to the Deployment and User's Guide.

      Note:

      You cannot replace the factory installed public network card installed in PCIe slot 7. Also, for the Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA, you cannot replace the factory installed cluster interconnect network card installed in PCIe slot 1.

The following table describes the supported network cards and the order in which they can be installed in the system.

Description Oracle Database Appliance X8-2S Oracle Database Appliance X8-2M Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA (per node)

Supported public network PCIe cards:

  • Oracle Dual Port 25 Gb Ethernet Adapter

  • Oracle Quad Port 10GBase-T Adapter

  • Oracle Dual Port 25 Gb Ethernet Adapter

  • Oracle Quad Port 10GBase-T Adapter

  • Oracle Dual Port 25 Gb Ethernet Adapter

  • Oracle Quad Port 10GBase-T Adapter

Installation order:

  1. By default, the server comes with a public network card installed in PCIe slot 7.
  2. A second public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 8.
  3. A third public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 10.
  1. By default, the server comes with a public network card installed in PCIe slot 7.
  2. A second public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 2.
  3. A third public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 10.
  1. By default, each server node comes with a public network card installed in PCIe slot 7.
  2. A second public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 2.
  3. A third public network card can be installed in PCIe slot 10.
