In earlier releases, the high capacity disks were 2 TB.
‡
For raw capacity, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. Capacity calculated using normal space terminology of 1 TB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes. Actual formatted
capacity is less.
Preparing for Installation
These topics provide information to prepare your site for the installation of the Oracle Exadata
Storage Expansion Rack. Planning for the expansion rack is similar to planning for Oracle
SuperCluster T5-8. This section contains information specific to the expansion rack, and also
refers to “Preparing the Site” on page 95 for general planning information.
