Extension of Oracle Private Cloud Appliance involves increasing the number of compute nodes within a rack to maximize the number of virtual machines that are capable of running on the appliance and to increase the processing power and memory available to existing virtual machines. The process of extending the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance in this way requires that you install additional servers into the rack. This operation does not require that the system is powered down, but physical changes are made to the system. Therefore you should review the task map provided in Section 6.1, “Extending Compute Capacity Task Map” before continuing. Each step to perform the operation is described in detail in this chapter.
This chapter explains how to extend your Oracle PCA by adding compute nodes to the system. After hardware installation, when compute node provisioning has completed, the servers are automatically added to the default tenant group Rack1_ServerPool. Depending on the tenant group configuration in the environment, you should add each newly provisioned server to the appropriate tenant group.
