1.7.2 Facility Power Requirements

To prevent catastrophic failures, design the input power sources to ensure adequate power is provided to the PDUs.

Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the PDU. When planning for power distribution requirements, balance the power load between available AC supply branch circuits. In the United States of America and Canada, ensure that the overall system AC input current load does not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.

Note:

Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes. Contact your facilities manager or qualified electrician to determine what type of power is supplied to the building.

PDU power cords are 4 meters (13.12 feet) long, and 1 to 1.5 meters (3.3 to 4.9 feet) of the cord is routed within the rack cabinet. The installation site AC power receptacle must be within 2 meters (6.6 feet) of the rack.

1.7.3 Circuit Breaker Requirements

If computer equipment is subjected to repeated power interruptions and fluctuations, then it is susceptible to a higher rate of component failure.

You are responsible for supplying the circuit breakers. One circuit breaker is required for each power cord. In addition to circuit breakers, provide a stable power source, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to reduce the possibility of component failures.

Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the server. Servers require electrical circuits be grounded to the Earth.

Note:

Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes.

1.7.4 Electrical Grounding Guidelines

The cabinets for Oracle Exadata Rack are shipped with grounding-type power cords.

• Always connect the cords to grounded power outlets.
• Check the grounding type, because different grounding methods are used depending on your location.
• Refer to documentation such as IEC documents for the correct grounding method.
• Ensure that the facility administrator or qualified electrical engineer verifies the grounding method for the building, and performs the grounding work.

1.8 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Excessive internal temperatures may result in full or partial shut down of Oracle Exadata.

Airflow through Oracle Exadata Rack is from front to back. Refer to General Environmental Requirements for information on cooling and airflow.

Note:

Studies have shown that temperature increases of 10 degrees Celsius (15 degrees Fahrenheit) above 20 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) reduce long-term electronics reliability by 50 percent.

The following table lists the temperature, humidity and altitude requirements for operating and non-operating machines.

Table 1-34 Temperature, Humidity and Altitude Requirements

Condition	Operating Requirement	Non-operating Requirement	Optimum
Temperature	5 to 32 degrees Celsius (41 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit)	-40 to 70 degrees Celsius (-40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit).	For optimal rack cooling, data center temperatures from 21 to 23 degrees Celsius (70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit)
Relative humidity	10 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing	Up to 93 percent relative humidity.	For optimal data center rack cooling, 45 to 50 percent, non-condensing
Altitude	3048 meters (10000 feet) maximum	12000 meters (40000 feet).	Ambient temperature is reduced by 1 degree Celsius per 300 m above 900 m altitude above sea level

Set conditions to the optimal temperature and humidity ranges to minimize the chance of downtime due to component failure. Operating Oracle Exadata Rack for extended periods at or near the operating range limits, or installing it in an environment where it remains at or near non-operating range limits could significantly increase hardware component failure.

The ambient temperature range of 21 to 23 degrees Celsius (70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit) is optimal for server reliability and operator comfort. Most computer equipment can operate in a wide temperature range, but near 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) is desirable because it is easier to maintain safe humidity levels. Operating in this temperature range provides a safety buffer in the event that the air conditioning system goes down for a period of time.

The ambient relative humidity range of 45 to 50 percent is suitable for safe data processing operations. Most computer equipment can operate in a wide range (20 to 80 percent), but the range of 45 to 50 percent is recommended for the following reasons:

• Optimal range helps protect computer systems from corrosion problems associated with high humidity levels.
• Optimal range provides the greatest operating time buffer in the event of air conditioner control failure.
• This range helps avoid failures or temporary malfunctions caused by intermittent interference from static discharges that may occur when relative humidity is too low.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is easily generated, and hard to dissipate in areas of low relative humidity, such as below 35 percent. ESD becomes critical when humidity drops below 30 percent. It is not difficult to maintain humidity in a data center because of the high-efficiency vapor barrier and low rate of air changes normally present.

1.9 Ventilation and Cooling Requirements

Always provide adequate space in front and behind the rack to allow for proper ventilation.

Do not obstruct the front or rear of the rack with equipment or objects that might prevent air from flowing through the rack. Rack-mountable servers and equipment typically draw cool air in through the front of the rack and let out warm air out the rear of the rack. There is no air flow requirement for the left and right sides due to front-to-back cooling.

If the rack is not completely filled with components, then cover the empty sections with filler panels. Gaps between components can adversely affect air flow and cooling within the rack.

Relative humidity is the percentage of the total water vapor that can exist in the air without condensing, and is inversely proportional to air temperature. Humidity goes down when the temperature rises, and goes up when the temperature drops. For example, air with a relative humidity of 45 percent at a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) has a relative humidity of 65 percent at a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit). As the temperature drops, the relative humidity rises to more than 65 percent, and water droplets are formed.

Air conditioning facilities usually do not precisely monitor or control temperature and humidity throughout an entire computer room. Generally, monitoring is done at individual points corresponding to multiple exhaust vents in the main unit, and other units in the room. Special consideration should be paid to humidity when using underfloor ventilation. When underfloor ventilation is used, monitoring is done at each point close to an exhaust vent. Distribution of the temperature and humidity across the entire room is uneven.

Oracle Exadata Racks have been designed to function while mounted in a natural convection air flow. The following requirements must be followed to meet the environmental specification:

• Ensure there is adequate air flow through the server.

• Ensure the server has front-to-back cooling. The air inlet is at the front of the server, and the air is let out the rear.

• Allow a minimum clearance of 1219.2 mm (48 inches) at the front of the server, and 914 mm (36 inches) at the rear of the server for ventilation.

Use perforated tiles, approximately 400 CFM/tile, in front of the rack for cold air intake. The tiles can be arranged in any order in front of the rack, as long as cold air from the tiles can flow into the rack. Inadequate cold air flow could result in a higher inlet temperature in the servers due to exhaust air recirculation. The following table describes the recommended number of floor tiles:

Type of Oracle Exadata Database Machine or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack	Recommended Number of Floor Tiles
Oracle Exadata full rack systems	4
Oracle Exadata half rack systems	3
Oracle Exadata quarter and eighth rack systems	1

Figure 1-1 shows a typical installation of the floor tiles for Oracle Exadata Database Machine Full Rack in a typical data center.

1.10 Network Connection and IP Address Requirements for Oracle Exadata Rack

This section describes the requirements to connect Oracle Exadata Database Machine or Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack to your existing network infrastructure.

• Network Connection Requirements for Oracle Exadata Rack
  
• DNS Configuration for Oracle Exadata Rack
  
• IP Address Requirements for Oracle Exadata Rack
  

1.10.1 Network Connection Requirements for Oracle Exadata Rack

Prior to installation, network cables must be run from your existing network infrastructure to the installation site. The requirements to connect Oracle Exadata to your existing network infrastructure are as follows:

Network	Connection Requirements
Administration Network	Mandatory: 1 uplink for the Management Network Switch. Recommended: 2 uplinks for remote monitoring of the power distribution units (PDUs). Optional: 1 uplink for ILOM on each database server or storage server if using a separate ILOM network. For X2 models only: 1 uplink for the KVM switch.
Client Network	For bonded network configurations: 2 uplinks for each database server. For non-bonded network configurations: 1 uplink for each database server. Note: Non-bonded network configurations are not supported on Oracle Exadata X7 and later systems.
Additional Network(s)	For bonded network configurations: 2 uplinks for each database server and additional network. For non-bonded network configurations: 1 uplink for each database server and additional network. Note: Non-bonded network configurations are not supported on Oracle Exadata X7 and later systems.
RDMA Network Fabric (Private Network)	No uplinks are required. The RDMA Network Fabric is completely self-contained within Oracle Exadata.

The same requirements apply to Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack. However, since Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack contains no database servers, there are no corresponding database server uplink requirements.

1.10.2 DNS Configuration for Oracle Exadata Rack

Prior to receiving your Oracle Exadata Rack, you must use Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) to generate files that drive the configuration of the system. The system configuration files contain network host names and IP addresses for the management network, client network, and additional public networks, which should be registered in Domain Name System (DNS) prior to initial configuration. In particular, all public addresses, single client access name (SCAN) addresses, and VIP addresses should be registered in DNS prior to installation.

The assistant-generated file defines the SCAN as a single name with three IP addresses on the client access network. The three SCAN addresses provide service access for clients to Oracle Exadata Database Machine. Configure DNS for round robin resolution for the SCAN name to these three SCAN addresses.

All addresses registered in DNS must be configured for both forward resolution and reverse resolution. Reverse resolution must be forward confirmed (forward-confirmed reverse DNS) such that both the forward and reverse DNS entries match each other.

Note:

During configuration using OEDA, Grid Naming Service (GNS) is not configured on Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

See Also:

• "Using Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant"

• Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation and Upgrade Guide for Linux for additional information about SCAN addresses

• Your DNS vendor documentation for additional information about configuring round robin name resolution

1.10.3 IP Address Requirements for Oracle Exadata Rack

Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack require a dedicated allocation of host names and IP addresses. The number of required IP addresses primarily depends on the size of the system and whether it is configured to use virtual machines (VMs).

The detailed network configuration, including host names and IP addresses, is generated from information supplied to Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA).

You should configure the IP addresses in your existing networks after you run OEDA. All IP addresses in the configuration file must be unassigned at the time of initial configuration. In addition, all IP addresses must be statically-assigned IP addresses, not dynamically-assigned (DHCP) addresses.

All RDMA Network Fabric IP addresses must be in the same subnet, with a minimum subnet mask of 255.255.240.0 (or /20). The subnet mask chosen should be wide enough to accommodate possible future expansion of the Oracle Exadata and the internal network.

You can use the information in the following sections to calculate the IP address requirement for Oracle Exadata. However, ensure that you use the configuration information generated in OEDA as your authoritative guide.

Rack-Level IP Address Requirements

The following table outlines the rack-level IP address requirements for Oracle Exadata Database Machine. These addresses are required regardless of the configuration options that are selected for the system. For Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack, no further IP addresses are required beyond these rack-level IP addresses.

Network	IP Address Requirements
Administration Network	1 IP address for the administration network interface on each database server or storage server. 1 IP address for the ILOM network interface on each database server or storage server. Note: By default, the database server and storage server ILOM interfaces reside in the administration network. However, starting with Oracle Exadata System Software release 19.1.0, the ILOM interfaces can reside in a separate management network. Either way, the number of required IP addresses remains the same. 1 IP address for the management interface on each RDMA Network Fabric switch. 1 IP address for the management interface on the Management Network Switch switch. 1 IP address for the management interface in each power distribution unit (PDU). For X2 models only: 1 IP address for the KVM switch.
RDMA Network Fabric (Private Network)	2 IP addresses for each database server or storage server. Note: Older configurations (typically X3 and prior) may be configured with Linux Ethernet bonding, which uses 1 IP address for each database server or storage server.

Bare-Metal IP Address Requirements

When Oracle Exadata Database Machine is configured without VMs (otherwise known as a bare-metal configuration), one additional set of cluster-level IP addresses is required in addition to the rack-level addresses outlined in the previous table. Use the following table to determine the additional IP addresses required for a bare-metal configuration.

Network	IP Address Requirements
Client Network	1 IP address for the client network interface on each database server. 1 IP address for the virtual (VIP) network interface on each database server. 3 IP addresses for SCAN network services.
Additional Network(s)	1 IP address for each additional network interface on each database server.

VM Cluster IP Address Requirements

When Oracle Exadata Database Machine is configured with virtual machines (VMs), each VM cluster requires a separate set of IP addresses, which are in addition to the system-level addresses outlined previously. Use the following table to determine the additional IP addresses required for each VM cluster.

Network	IP Address Requirements
Administration Network	1 IP address for the administration network interface on each database server VM.
Client Network	1 IP address for the client network interface on each database server VM. 1 IP address for the virtual (VIP) network interface on each database server VM. 3 IP addresses for SCAN network services.
Additional Network(s)	1 IP address for each additional network interface on each database server VM.
RDMA Network Fabric (Private Network)	2 IP addresses for each database server VM.
