Capacity Limits for Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure

To understand the scalability features and resource capacity of the ExaDB-XS service, review these tables and lists.

Minimum VM Cluster Size

  • Single-node VM cluster
  • 8 total ECPUs per VM
  • 220 GB (for 26ai) and 260 GB (for 19c) file system storage per VM
  • 300 GB Exascale Vault database storage per VM cluster

VM Scalability Options

VM clusters can be scaled quickly and easily to meet your demands:

  • It is possible to enable a subset of the total ECPUs assigned to the VM.
  • When you enable more of your reserved ECPUs for the VM, you can scale the ECPUs without restarting the VM.
  • You can scale memory in 2.75 GB increments per total ECPU.
  • You can perform hot additions or removals of VMs
  • You can scale VM storage (however, scaling VM storage requires a restart).
  • You can perform live, online scaling of Exascale database storage

Maximum VM Cluster Size

The following list provides maximum VM cluster configuration options

  • Number of VMs in the VM Cluster: 10 VMs
  • ECPUs per VM: 200 ECPUs
  • File system storage per VM: 1100 GB
  • Exascale Vault storage per VM cluster: 100 TB

Database Storage Vault Minimum Capacity

The total minimum capacity billed for ExaDB-XS vaults is 300 GB. Images are stored in Oracle Advanced Cluster File System (ACFS). The remaining space is available for the first database, as shown in the following table:

Table 4-2 ExaDB-XS Minimum Database Storage Vault Capacity for Systems and Database Use

Purpose Minimum Capacity
System use (images stored in ACFS) 50 GB
Database use (provisioning a first database) 250 GB

VM File System Storage Minimum Capacity

The total minimum capacity billed for virtual machine (VM) storage is 220 GB (for 26ai) and 260 GB (for 19c). File system minimum capacities are listed in the following table.
