Adding Additional Elastic Nodes To An Existing Rack; Loading The Configuration Information And Installing The Software - Oracle EXADATA X6-2 Installation And Configuration Manual

5.10 Adding Additional Elastic Nodes to an Existing Rack

You can add nodes to an existing rack using elastic configuration.
The elastic configuration procedure described in
Configuration of Oracle Exadata Database Machine
add new servers to an existing rack. The new servers and existing servers must be at
least X5. The procedure assigns IP addresses to the new database servers and cells,
in preparation for adding them into existing setups. The addition of X5, X6, or X7
servers into previous generation racks using this methodology is not supported.
The XML configuration file generated by the Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant
must contain the existing nodes, plus the new nodes to be added. The same elastic
configuration procedures described in the previous section should be followed, and the
applyElasticConfig.sh
nodes are new, and assigns IP addresses accordingly.
When adding only storage cells, you can run the
cell server rather than a database server.
5.11 Loading the Configuration Information and Installing the
Software
Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant loads the network settings, creates the user
accounts, installs Oracle Database software, and secures the system based on the
information the configuration files. You can also choose to do the process manually.
