Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 Storage Shelf
Hot-Swappable Components
This section describes replacing hot-swappable components for the Oracle Database Appliance
X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, and Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 for service. If
you have Oracle Database Appliance (original version), go to “Oracle Database Appliance
(Original Version) Hot-Swappable Components” on page 47.
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. These are designated as
Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs).
Caution - Data loss. Do not remove power from both power supplies of the storage shelf or
storage expansion shelf (if equipped) while the database is running. If you must power off the
storage shelf or expansion storage shelf, stop the database first.
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.
Replacement Procedures (CRU)
