Display Storage and Compute Server architecture

You’re assigned to manage the Exadata Machine.  You want to display overall architecture, storage configuration, network, and OS.

uname –a            (To display the kernel version for Oracle enterprise linux)

dmidecode –s system-product-name (To display the server model and serial number)

[root@glscell01 ~]# dmidecode -s system-product-name

SUN FIRE X4170 M2 SERVER

[root@glscell01 ~]# dmidecode -s system-serial-number

1308FMM0MG 

imageinfo            (To see cell version, kernel version, active system partition)

imagehistory      (image installed/patched overtime)

[root@r22dwdbs06h-adm ~]# imagehistory

Each storage cell contains either: 

12 physical 600GB 15000 RPM high performance of delivering up to 1.8 GB per second of raw per cell or

3 TB 7200 RPM High Capacity SAS disk of delivery up to 1.3GB per second of raw data bandwidth

Compute server:

NET0      allow ssh, it uses eth0 interface

NET1, NET2, NET1-2        RAC VIP and SCAN

IB            Connects two ports on the compute servers to both of the InfiniBand leaf switches in the rac.  All storage servers and RAC interconnect use this network

NET3 is built on eth3       Use for Backup/external traffic
