Repair categories describe the potential impact of a repair action. Table 26-1 describes the categories and actions.
Table 26-1 Recovery Appliance Repair Categories
| Category | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
|
Hot Swap (HS) |
Repair part is hot swappable, and can be replaced without shutting down the host system. Commands might be required before and after replacement to protect data. |
|
|
Infrastructure Repair (IR) |
Repairing a connectivity component within the Recovery Appliance rack. No downtime of the rack is required; however, individual components may require downtime. |
|
|
Compute Server Offline (DBO) |
Repairing the part requires shutting down a compute server. No downtime of the rack is required; however, individual servers might require downtime, and they might be taken outside of the cluster temporarily. If the server is currently running, then you must shut it down. See "Powering Down the Servers". If you monitor the system using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, then avoid unnecessary alerts by putting the target in a blackout state. Refer to Oracle Enterprise Manager Administration for additional information. |
|
|
Storage server Offline (EBO) |
Repairing the part requires shutting down a storage server within the rack. No downtime of the rack is required; however, individual servers might require downtime, and they might be taken outside of the cluster temporarily. There also might be a temporary performance impact, while the system rebalances to maintain data redundancy. If the server is currently running, then you must shut it down. See "Powering Down the Servers". If you monitor the system using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, then avoid unnecessary alerts by putting the target in a blackout state. Refer to Oracle Enterprise Manager Administration for additional information. |
