Browse Published Validated Configurations  >  Validated Configuration Details
Program Scope

The goal of this program is to validate hardware with Oracle Linux and Oracle VM, and to identify issues and configuration details that would impact customer deployments. Oracle developed the program to go far beyond the standard certification testing normally performed with operating systems. Hardware vendors participating in this program perform thorough testing of the hardware in real-world configurations with Oracle Linux and Oracle VM.

This is not a database certification. Oracle Database is a component of the environment because it is demanding on hardware resources (processor, memory, cache, storage, network) and the operating system, and well suited for this advanced level of testing. The validation program uses Oracle Database as a tool and hardware is not certified with Oracle Database as a result of the validation program.

For more information please see the program's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Miscellaneous
One 1G network for RAC public network and one 10G network for RAC interconnect.
The swap partition is 32Gb.
Description of setup:
There are 2 nodes one for Database and other for Storage. Install the FSA(FusionStorage Agent) on both. The FSA is a part of FusionStorage software. The details of package is listed in "other package" section.
The VBS and OSD are virtual controller which have the similar function as traditional controller of the storage device,The VBS processes are in the DataBase Server,and OSD processes are in the Storage Server.
When storage pool is created,it will make all the SSD card or Disks of Storage Server as a Storage Pool,and Storage Server will generate some OSD processes which are responsible for reading or writing data to SSD card or Disk.
When Block Storage Client is created,the Database Server will generate some VBS processes which are responsible for getting data from or putting data to the OSD processes in Storage Server.
