Exadata Simulation on VM (Cell 12.1.1.1.0)

Create a Virtual Machine for Exadata CELL or Storage Server

In this topic will demonstrate how to configure Cell or Storage Server for Exadata. Very few companies are using Exadata Engineering system so this is very difficult for a DBA to get an environment to explore. So Exadata simulation will be a good option to learn.

  • Download Required Software
  • Hardware Requirements
  • Create a Virtual Machine
  • Install Oracle Linux
  • Prerequisite for Exadata Storage Server
  • Install the Exadata Storage Server Software
  • Clone Storage Server for 2nd VM of Exadata Storage Server (exadatacell02)
  • Create Cell disks and Flash Cache storage for Exadata Storage Server on Node 1
  • Create Cell disks and Flash Cache storage for Exadata Storage Server on Node 2
  • Install Oracle Grid and Database

Exadata Simulation (X3) on VM Part – I

Create a Virtual Machine for Exadata CELL or Storage Server

In this topic, I will demonstrate how to configure Cell or Storage Server for Exadata on VM. Very few companies are using Exadata Engineering system so this is very difficult for a DBA to get hands on Exadata. So Exadata simulation will be a good option to learn for starting carrier as a DMA (Database Machine Administrator).

Create Oracle RAC Database Using DBCA

Run DBCA utility from oracle user. You have to set ORACLE_HOME AND ORACLE_SID

[oracle@exadb01 dbhome]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? ORCL
ORACLE_HOME = [/home/oracle] ? /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome/
The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@exadb01 dbhome]$ dbca
