Each ODA unit consists of two physical servers, and each physical server consists of a server node and an
Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) component. Chapter 2 delves into detail about the ILOM and explains the
importance of the ILOM in the ODA unit. Table 1-1 lists the specifications of the ODA V1 from the Oracle Database
Appliance Datasheet. (My Oracle Support Note 1385831.1 provides the same information.)

The ODA comes with a very powerful Intel Xeon processor, as well as enough memory and storage to
accommodate a variety of Online Transaction Processing( OLTP) and some smaller data warehouse workloads.
The network interconnect is built into the appliance, which removes the need for a switch for the interconnect for
communication between the nodes. In terms of storage, depending on the ODA software version and redundancy
layer, you can have between 4 and 6 terabytes (TB) of space.
Each ODA comes two 500GB drives per server node, which are mirrored and used for the OS, as well as software
that hosts the OS, clusterware, and the Oracle Database homes (250GB is unallocated). There are twenty 600GB SAS
drives per appliance and four 73GB SSDs for online redo only. The shared disks on the ODA are connected via two LSI
