Oracle Database Appliance (Original Version) Hot-Swappable Components
48 Oracle Database Appliance Service Manual • February 2016
Appliance X4-2, or Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, go to “Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/
X4-2/X5-2 Server Node Hot-Swappable Components” on page 39 or “Oracle Database
Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 Storage Shelf Hot-Swappable Components” on page 40 .
Hot-swappable components are those that can be removed and installed while the system and
the server nodes are running without requiring any administrative tasks.
Note - After a physical insertion or removal action of a storage shelf component (such as a disk
or SAS cable), you should wait before performing the next action to allow the system software
to fully process the event. This could take up to 3 minutes to complete.
In Oracle Database Appliance (original version), the following devices are hot-swappable:
■
Storage and Boot Drives. See “Servicing Storage Drives and Boot Drives
(CRU)” on page 48 .
■
Fan modules. See “Servicing Fan Modules (CRU)” on page 54 .
■
Power supplies. See “Servicing Power Supplies (CRU)” on page 57 .
