Oracle Database Appliance Pay-As-You-Grow: CPU Cores on Demand
• An Oracle on Oracle Feature !!!
• CPU cores on demand allows users to enable only the cores they
need from as few as 4 cores to as many as all 24 cores (in
increments of 4)
• System ships with all 24 cores enabled – there is no need to do
anything if running at full capacity
• To configure for subcapacity
– Log onto MyOracleSupport
– Declare configuration for servers
– Download encrypted key to reconfigure servers
– Run CLI to reconfigure server in BIOS and system will reboot
• Once configured for sub-capacity, core count can only increase in
subsequent reconfigurations
