Power Unless using Oracle
distribution PDUs, PDUs are the
units responsibility of the
(PDUs) customer or third
party rack vendor.
Racks Standard four-post
racks (42U).
The PDUs used in a not-racked Oracle FS System installation must provide
redundancy for both external AC power source and internal AC power
distribution to the components. The PDUs must provide sufficient current to
meet the sum of the requirements for the Oracle FS System components.
Oracle PDUs might be purchased for use with non-Oracle racks. The Oracle FS
System component power cords have been designed to work with vertical style
Oracle or third party PDUs. Non-Oracle PDUs must be compatible with Oracle
component power cord lengths and plug types. Non-Oracle PDUs must be
mounted in a manner such that the power cords provided by Oracle might be
used and the PDUs do not obstruct the ability to replace field replaceable units
(FRUs) and customer serviceable units (CRUs).
While planning rack-space, ensure that adequate space is also allocated for the
PDUs, if using non-Oracle PDUs.
Note: Typically, enterprise class products like the Oracle FS System do not use a
UPS and rely on generator backed power supply in the data centers. However, if
you use a UPS, it must be based on the maximum wattage requirements of the
sum total of all the Oracle FS System components. The UPS, if used, should
conform to the APC PowerNet MIB specifications so that it can send SNMP traps
to the Oracle FS System to indicate that it is operating in battery mode or in
normal mode and that the Oracle FS System should be configured to receive the
Oracle FS Systems: Installation Overview
Quantity and description
An Oracle FS System supports a total of eight
Replication Engines. The number of Replication
Engines depends on customer requirements
and the type of replication. While a single
engine is sufficient for replication, Oracle
recommends having at least two engines for
redundancy purposes.
The number of filler panels depends on how
many empty rack unit (RU) slots exist in the
rack.
Oracle PDUs are integrated into the rack. Non-
Oracle PDUs might or might not be integrated
into the rack.
The number of racks depends on the number
and the distribution of the hardware
components. A minimum of 1 rack and a
maximum of 4 racks can be used.
