Oracle disk shelves are high-availability serial attached SCSI (SAS) devices that provide
expanded storage. The main components are hot-swappable, including drives, I/O Modules
(IOMs) or SAS Interface Module (SIM) boards for connecting to controllers and other disk
shelves, and dual load-sharing power supply with fan modules. This provides a fault-tolerant
environment with no single point of failure. Component status is indicated with lights on the
disk shelf, and in the Maintenance Hardware screen of the BUI.
To understand disk shelf components and configurations, see the following topics.
