Installation Sequence

Understand the proper installation sequence when installing an Oracle Database
Appliance X9-2-HA into a rack.
Always install equipment in a rack starting at the bottom and working upwards. For
Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA, install the equipment in the following order:
Storage expansion shelf, if equipped (lowest available rack space).
1.
Storage shelf (next rack space above that).
2.
Server node 0 (next rack space above that).
3.
Server node 1 (next rack space above that).
4.

Verify Component Compatibility

Ensure that appliance components bundled together from the factory are connected
together.
For Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA, server nodes are bundled at the factory and
have a Top Level Identifier (TLI) number that is matched for the system. Both server
nodes must have the same TLI. The storage shelf and storage expansion shelf will
have separate TLI.
Note:
If you add a storage expansion shelf to the system after the initial installation
(that is, the storage expansion shelf was not part of the initial configuration
order for the appliance), its TLI will be different from the rest of the system. In
this scenario, an add-on component having a different TLI from the main
appliance TLI is appropriate.
Locate the TLI for both server nodes, the storage shelf, and (if present) the
1.
storage expansion shelf.
The TLI label is on top of the component, on the left-hand side, near the front. The
following figure shows an example of a TLI label:
Check to ensure that all components in a system that require it (as described
2.
above) have the same TLI numbers (a TLI part number and TLI serial number).
