Operational Procedures for Exalogic Machine

1.1 About Oracle ExalogicOracle Exalogic is an integrated hardware and software system designed to provide a complete platform for a wide range of application types and widely varied workloads. Exalogic is intended for large-scale, performance-sensitive, mission-critical application deployments. It combines Oracle Fusion Middleware software and industry-standard Sun hardware to enable a high degree of isolation between concurrently deployed applications, which have varied security, reliability, and performance requirements. Exalogic enables customers to develop a single environment that can support end-to-end consolidation of their entire applications portfolio.

Exalogic is designed to fully leverage an internal InfiniBand fabric that connects all of the processing, storage, memory and external network interfaces within an Exalogic machine to form a single, large computing device. Each Exalogic machine is connected to the customers data center networks via 10 GbE (traffic) and GbE (management) interfaces.

Customers can integrate Exalogic machines with an Exadata machine or additional Exalogic machines by using the available InfiniBand expansion ports and optional data center switches. The InfiniBand technology used by Exalogic offers significantly high bandwidth, low latency, hardware-level reliability, and security. If you are using applications that follow Oracle's best practices for highly scalable, fault-tolerant systems, you do not need to make any application architecture or design changes to benefit from Exalogic. You can connect many Exalogic machines or a combination of Exalogic machines and Oracle Exadata Database Machines to develop a single, large-scale environment.

1.6 Operational Procedures for Exalogic MachineThis section includes the following topics:

Non-emergency Power Procedure

Emergency Power-off Considerations

Cautions and Warnings

1.6.1 Non-emergency Power ProcedureCompute nodes and controllers in the storage device are powered on by either pressing the power button on the front of the machine, or by logging in to the ILOM interface and applying power to the system.

Compute nodes and controllers can also be powered off by using operating system commands.



For example, you can use the following command on the Oracle Linux operating system:

shutdown -h -y now

On the Oracle Solaris operating system, you can use the following command:

shutdown -i 5 now

1.6.1.1 Power On SequenceThe power on sequence is as follows:

1. Rack, including switches.

Ensure that the switches have had power applied for a few minutes to complete power-on configuration before starting the storage controllers and compute nodes.

2. Storage server heads attached to the chassis of the storage device.

Wait for a few minutes for the storage appliance to boot and start NFS services and daemons.

3. Compute nodes.

1.6.1.2 Power Off SequenceThe power off sequence is as follows:

1. Compute nodes

2. Storage server heads attached to the chassis of the storage device

3. Rack, including switches

1.6.2 Emergency Power-off ConsiderationsIf there is an emergency, then power to the Exalogic machine should be halted immediately. The following emergencies may require powering off the Exalogic machine:

Note: You can use this command after logging in to the compute nodes.

The network switches do not have power switches. They power off when power is removed, by way of the PDU or at the breaker in the data center.

Note: After power is applied, the LEDs on all compute nodes and storage server heads will start blinking after a few minutes. From the rear of the rack, you can see the green LEDs on the PSUs turn on instantly after power is applied. In addition, from the rear of the rack, you can see the display on the PDUs that lights up once power is available.

Note: Once the compute nodes are down, you can proceed to shut down the storage appliance.



Natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, hurricane, tornado or cyclone.

Abnormal noise, smell or smoke coming from the machine.

Threat to human safety.

1.6.2.1 Emergency Power-off ProcedureTo perform an emergency power-off procedure for the Exalogic machine, turn off power at the circuit breaker or pull the emergency power-off switch in the computer room. After the emergency, contact Oracle Support Services to restore power to the machine.

1.6.2.2 Emergency Power-off SwitchEmergency power-off (EPO) switches are required when computer equipment contains batteries capable of supplying more than 750 volt-amperes for more than five minutes. Systems that have these batteries include internal EPO hardware for connection to a site EPO switch or relay. Use of the EPO switch will remove power from the Exalogic machine.

1.6.3 Cautions and WarningsThe following cautions and warnings apply to Exalogic machines:

Do not touch the parts of this product that use high-voltage power. Touching them might result in serious injury.

Do not power off Exalogic machines unless there is an emergency. In that case, follow the Emergency Power-off Procedure.

Keep the front and rear cabinet doors closed. Failure to do so might cause system failure or result in damage to hardware components.

Keep the top, front, and back of the cabinets clear to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating of components.

Use only the supplied hardware.

Space Requirements


2.2 Space RequirementsAll Exalogic machines use the same rack, and have the same space requirements. The space requirements are as follows:

Height: 1998 mm (78.66 inches)

Width: 600 mm with side panels (23.62 inches)

Depth (front door handle to rear door handle): 1200 mm (47.24 inches)

Depth (doors removed): 1112 mm (43.78 inches)

The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 2300 mm (90 inches), measured from the true floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. An additional 914 mm (36 inches) is for top clearance. The space above the cabinet and its surroundings must not restrict the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the movement of hot air coming out of the top of the cabinet.

2.2.1 Receiving and Unpacking RequirementsBefore your Exalogic machine arrives, ensure that the receiving area is large enough for the package. The following are the package dimensions for the Exalogic machine:

Shipping height: 2159 mm (85 inches)

Shipping width: 1219 mm (48 inches)

Shipping depth: 1575 mm (62 inches)

Shipping weight:

675.5 kg (1486 lbs) for an Exalogic machine half rack

490 kg (1078 lbs) for an Exalogic machine quarter rack

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 the Exalogic machine arrives, leave the rack in its shipping packaging until it arrives in 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 the Exalogic machine from the unpacking location to the installation location. Table 24 lists the access route requirements for the Exalogic machine.
