Exadata configuration tasks cell and storage provisioning

To run the performance test on the cell, you use Calibrate:

CellCLI> alter cell shutdown services cellsrv

Stopping CELLSRV services... 

The SHUTDOWN of CELLSRV services was successful.

CellCLI> calibrate;

Calibration will take a few minutes...

Aggregate random read throughput across all hard disk luns: 139 MBPS

Aggregate random read throughput across all flash disk luns: 2720.05 MBPS

Aggregate random read IOs per second (IOPS) across all hard disk luns: 1052

Aggregate random read IOs per second (IOPS) across all flash disk luns: 143248

Controller read throughput: 5477.08 MBPS

Calibrating hard disks (read only) ...

Calibrating flash disks (read only, note that writes will be significantly slower) ...

…….

CALIBRATE stress test is now running...

Calibration has finished.

CellCLI> alter cell validate configuration;

CellCLI> list celldisk where freespace !=0

 CD_disk01      normal

CellCLI> create griddisk all harddisk prefix=datagri

CellCLI> drop celldisk CD_disk01_cell;
