Space Requirements

If your loading dock meets the height and ramp requirements for a standard freight carrier truck, then you can use a pallet jack to unload the rack. If the loading dock does not meet the requirements, then you must provide a standard forklift or other means to unload the rack. You can also request that the rack be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.

When Oracle Exadata Rack arrives, leave the rack in its shipping packaging until it arrives at its installation site. Use a conditioned space to remove the packaging material to reduce particles before entering the data center. The entire access route to the installation site should be free of raised-pattern flooring that can cause vibration.

Allow enough space for unpacking it from its shipping cartons. Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways for moving Oracle Exadata Rack from the unpacking location to the installation location.

Table 1-21 Access Route Requirements

Access Route Item With Shipping Pallet Without Shipping Pallet

Minimum door height 2184 mm (86 inches) 2040 mm (80.32 inches)

Minimum elevator, pallet jack, and floor loading capacity

1134 kg (2500 lbs) 1134 kg (2500 lbs)

1.2.2 Maintenance Access Requirements

The maintenance area must be large enough for Oracle Exadata Rack, and have the required access space. For example, the required space to remove the side panels is

675. 64 mm (26.6 inches). Front access space requirement is typically the length of

the longest chassis supported in the rack, plus the distance the rails need to travel out to install and remove equipment from the front. Rear access space requirement is the space needed for a person working behind the Oracle Exadata Rack. Top access space requirement is for a person standing on a ladder to be able service components installed in the top of the rack.

Note:

• Open tiles are required for electrical access.

• Oracle Exadata Racks can be placed side-by-side when interconnecting

the racks.

The following table lists the maintenance access requirements.

1.4 Electrical Power Requirements

Oracle Exadata Racks can operate effectively over a wide range of voltages and frequencies. However, they must have a reliable power source. Damage may occur if the ranges are exceeded. Electrical disturbances such as the following may damage Oracle Exadata Rack:

• Fluctuations caused by brownouts

• Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels or in input power frequency

• Electrical storms

• Faults in the distribution system, such as defective wiring

To protect Oracle Exadata Rack from such disturbances, you should have a dedicated power distribution system, power-conditioning equipment, as well as lightning arresters or power cables to protect from electrical storms.

1.4.2 Facility Power Requirements

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.

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 and Canada, ensure that the overall system AC input current load does not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current rating.

Chapter 1

Electrical Power Requirements

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.

1.4.3 Circuit Breaker Requirements

To prevent catastrophic failures, the design of your power system must ensure that adequate power is provided to the servers. Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to the server. Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes. Servers require electrical circuits be grounded to the Earth.

In addition to circuit breakers, provide a stable power source, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to reduce the possibility of component failures. If computer equipment is subjected to repeated power interruptions and fluctuations, then it is susceptible to a higher rate of component failure.

Note:

Circuit breakers are supplied by the customer. One circuit breaker is required for each power cord.

1.4.4 Grounding Guidelines

The cabinets for Oracle Exadata Rack are shipped with grounding-type power cords. Always connect the cords to grounded power outlets. Because different grounding methods are used, depending on location, check the grounding type, and refer to documentation, such as IEC documents, for the correct grounding method. Ensure

1-43

Page 56

Temperature and Humidity Requirements

that the facility administrator or qualified electrical engineer verifies the grounding method for the building, and performs the grounding work.

1.5 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Airflow through Oracle Exadata Rack is from front to back. Refer to General

Environmental Requirements (page 1-1) 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.

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

Chapter 1

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

Temperature 5 to 32 degrees

Celsius (41 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit)

Relative humidity 10 to 90 percent

relative humidity, noncondensing

Altitude 3048 meters (10000

feet) maximum

Non-operating Requirement

-40 to 70 degrees Celsius (-40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit).

Up to 93 percent relative humidity.

12000 meters (40000 feet).

Optimum

For optimal rack cooling, data center temperatures from 21 to 23 degrees Celsius (70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit)

For optimal data center rack cooling, 45 to 50 percent, noncondensing

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.

1-44

Page 57

Chapter 1

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements

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.

Note:

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.

1.6 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-toback 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

1-45

Page 58

Chapter 1

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements

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:

1.7.2 DNS Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine

Prior to receiving your Oracle Exadata Database Machine, use Oracle Exadata Database Machine Deployment Assistant. The assistant generates a file to be used when setting up the system. The host names and IP addresses specified in the assistant-generated file for the management network, client access network, and additional networks should be registered in Domain Name System (DNS) prior to initial configuration. In addition, 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:

Grid Naming Service (GNS) is not configured on Oracle Exadata Database Machine during initial configuration.

configuring round robin name resolution

1.7.3 IP Address Requirements for Oracle Exadata Database Machine

Oracle Exadata Database Machine requires a large number of host names and IP addresses during initial configuration. The number of IP addresses required for a particular network, such as the management network, depends on the type of system. The network configuration, such as host names and IP addresses, used during installation is generated from information when completing the Oracle Exadata Database Machine Deployment Assistant.

Configure the new IP addresses in your existing networks only after you have run Oracle Exadata Database Machine Deployment Assistant. All IP addresses in the assistant-generated file must be unassigned at the time of initial configuration. In addition, all IP addresses must be statically-assigned IP addresses, not dynamicallyassigned (DHCP) addresses.

All InfiniBand 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 Database Machine and InfiniBand network.

Understanding the Network Requirements for Oracle Exadata Database Machine

This chapter describes the network requirements for Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Note:

For ease of reading, the name "Oracle Exadata Rack" is used when information refers to both Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack.

2.1 Overview of Network Requirements

Oracle Exadata Database Machine includes database servers, Exadata Storage Servers, as well as equipment to connect the servers to your network. The network connections allow the servers to be administered remotely, and clients to connect to the database servers.

The information in this section should be used in conjunction with Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant to configure your environment for Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Note:

The name used for the InfiniBand interface changed from BONDIB0 to IB0 and IB1 on Oracle Exadata Database Machine X4-2 systems using release

11.2.3.3.0 and later.

As of release 11.2.2.1.0, the names used for bonding changed. The names are BONDIB0 for the InfiniBand bonding and BONDETH0 for Ethernet bonding. In earlier releases, the names were BOND0 and BOND1, respectively.

To deploy Oracle Exadata Database Machine ensure that you meet the minimum network requirements. Oracle Exadata Database Machine requires a minimum of three networks, and there are interfaces available for additional networks. Each network must be on a distinct and separate subnet from the others. Oracle recommends one common additional network for backup, which you can configure with OEDA. The network descriptions are as follows:

• Management network: This required network connects to your existing

management network, and is used for administrative work for all components of

2-1

Page 90

Chapter 2

Overview of Network Requirements

Oracle Exadata Database Machine. It connects the servers, ILOM, and switches connected to the Ethernet switch in the rack. There is one uplink from the Ethernet switch in the rack to your management network, one uplink from the KVM switch in the rack to your management network, and one uplink for each power distribution unit (PDU).

Notes:

– Network connectivity to the PDUs is only required if the electric current is

monitored remotely.

– A properly secured configuration requires the management network to be

fully isolated from all other networks.

Each database server and Exadata Storage Server has two network interfaces for management. One provides management access to the operating system through the embedded NET0 Ethernet port on Oracle Exadata Database Machine TwoSocket systems, or the NEM0/NET1 Ethernet port on Oracle Exadata Database Machine Eight-Socket systems. The other network interface provides access to the ILOM through the NET MGT Ethernet port. Oracle Exadata Database Machines are delivered with the NET MGT and NET0 or NEM0/NET0 ports connected to the Ethernet switch in the rack. The NET0 or NEM0/NET0 port on the database servers should not be used for client or application network traffic. Cabling or configuration changes to these interfaces on Exadata Storage Servers is not permitted.

• Client access network: This required network connects the database servers to

your existing client network and is used for client access to the database servers. Applications access the database through this network using Single Client Access Name (SCAN) and Oracle RAC Virtual IP (VIP) addresses. Database servers support channel bonding to provide higher bandwidth or availability for client connections to the database. Oracle recommends channel bonding for the client access network.

The following list describes the channel bonding configurations:

– Oracle Exadata Database Machine Two-Socket systems, use either:

* The embedded NET1 and NET2 ports

* The two 10 GbE ports or two 10/25GbE ports on Oracle Exadata

Database Machine X7-2

– Oracle Exadata Database Machine Eight-Socket systems, X4-8 or higher

* Use two ports, with each port on a different PCIe card

– Oracle Exadata Database Machine X3-8 Full Rack and Oracle Exadata

Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack

* Use ports from each Network Express Module (NEM)

For the Oracle Exadata Database Machine X3-8 Full Rack and Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack database servers, using the same ports on the Network Express Modules, such as NEM0/NET1 and NEM0/NET2, works but does not provide for high availability.

2-2

Page 91

Chapter 2

Overview of Network Requirements

Note:

If your system will use more than 10 VIP addresses in the cluster and you have VLAN configured for the Oracle Clusterware client network, then you must use 3 digit VLAN ids. Do not use 4 digit VLAN ids because the VLAN name can exceed the 15 character operating system interface name limit.

• Additional networks (optional): Database servers can connect to additional

existing networks using the available open ports not used by the management and client networks.

• InfiniBand private network: This network connects the database servers and

Oracle Exadata Storage Servers using the InfiniBand switches on the rack. Starting with the Oracle Exadata Storage X4-2L servers, the InfiniBand fabric is connected using the IB0 and IB1 interfaces. Oracle Exadata Storage Server X3-2L servers and earlier use the BONDIB0 interface. Oracle Database uses this network for Oracle RAC cluster interconnect traffic and for accessing data on Oracle Exadata Storage Servers. This non-routable network is fully contained in Oracle Exadata Database Machine, and does not connect to your existing network. This network is automatically configured during installation.

Note:

All networks must be on distinct and separate subnets from each other. For better security, the management network should be isolated from all other networks.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine database server networking requirements are identical with the following exceptions:

• Oracle Exadata Database Machine X7-2 embedded ports are 1/10/25 GbE.

• Oracle Exadata Database Machine X6-2, Oracle Exadata Database Machine

X5-2, Oracle Exadata Database Machine X4-2, and Oracle Exadata Database Machine X3-2 embedded ports are 1 GbE/10 GbE.

• Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 embedded ports are 1 GbE.

• Only Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 has a KVM.

At start time on an 8-socket system, each database server generates a

cellaffinity.ora

oracle/cell/network-config directory, and must be readable by the Oracle

database.

The file contains a mapping between the NUMA node numbers and the IP address of the network interface card closest to each node. Oracle Database uses the file to select the closest network interface card when communicating with Exadata Storage Servers, thereby optimizing performance. This file is only generated and used on an 8socket system. On a 2-socket system, there is no performance to be gained in this manner, and no a text editor.

Note:

The SFP+ modules for the NEMs are purchased separately.

2.3 Using Network VLAN Tagging with Oracle Exadata Database Machine

Compute nodes and storage nodes can use VLANs for the management network, ILOM, client network, and the backup access network.

By default, the network switch is minimally configured, without VLAN tagging. If VLAN tagging is to be used, then it must be enabled by the customer after the initial deployment. This applies to both physical and Oracle VM deployments.

Chapter 2

Client and backup VLAN networks must be bonded. The admin network is never bonded.

Notes:

• VLANs do not exist in InfiniBand. For equivalent functionality, use

InfiniBand partitioning as described in Oracle Exadata Database Machine Maintenance Guide.

• Network VLAN tagging is supported for Oracle Real Application Clusters

on the public network.

• If the backup network is on a tagged VLAN network, the client network

must also be on a separate tagged VLAN network.

• The backup and client networks can share the same network cables.

• Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) supports VLAN tagging for

both physical and virtual deployments.

• Virtual deployments do not support IPv6 VLANs.

• If your system will use more than 10 VIP addresses in the Oracle RAC

cluster and you have VLAN configured for the Oracle Clusterware client network, then you must use 3 digit VLAN ids. Do not use 4 digit VLAN ids because the VLAN name can exceed the 15 character operating system interface name limit.

The following table shows IPv4/IPv6 support on the admin, client, and backup networks for the different Exadata systems and Oracle Database versions.

22289350.

The network port on a database server used for the client access network can be bonded with another network on the database server to provide higher bandwidth or availability for client connections to the database. In a bonded network configuration, Oracle RAC SCAN and VIP addresses are defined on the BONDETH0 interface on database servers.

2.4.1 Bonded Network Configurations

A bonded network configuration is used when there is a need to aggregate multiple network interfaces together for client connections to the database.

The bonded network configuration is the default configuration.

The following sections describe the bonded network configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine:

• Bonded Network Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine Two-Socket

Systems (page 2-12)

• Bonded Network Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine X7-8

(page 2-13)

Network Channel Bonding Support

2.4.1.1 Bonded Network Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine Two-Socket Systems

When using a bonded network configuration for database client access on Oracle Exadata Database Machine Two-Socket Systems, the database servers are configured as follows:

• Port NET0: Provides access to the operating system using the management

network through the ETH0 interface.

• Port NET1: Provides access to the database using the client access network, and

is bonded with NET2 port to create the BONDETH0 interface.

• Port NET2: Provides access to the database using the client access network, and

is bonded with NET1 port to create the BONDETH0 interface.

• Port NET MGT: Provides access to ILOM using the management network.

When channel bonding is configured for the client access network during initial configuration, the Linux bonding module is configured for active-backup mode ( If a different bonding policy is preferred, then you may reconfigure the bonding module after initial configuration. For configuration details, refer to the Linux Ethernet Bonding Driver HOWTO in the /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.39/Documentation/ networking/bonding.txt directory on any Oracle Exadata Database Machine database server.

mode=1

The following table shows the port connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine Two-Socket Systems database servers when using channel bonding. The client access network and the backup network must use different ports, in that one network must use the embedded GbE ports and the other network must use the PCIe ports.
