Page 98: Using Network Vlan Tagging With Oracle Exadata Database Machine
Virtual deployments do not support IPv6 VLANs. • If your system will use more than 10 VIP addresses in the Oracle RAC cluster and you have VLAN configured for the Oracle Clusterware client network, then you must use 3 digit VLAN ids. Do not use 4 digit VLAN ids because the VLAN name can exceed the 15 character operating system interface name limit.

Page 202 WARNING: Oracle strongly recommends that you use professional movers when unpacking and installing Oracle Exadata Rack. Unpack Oracle Exadata Rack carefully from the packaging and shipping pallet as follows: Note: Before unpacking the rack from the shipping carton, refer to the labels on the carton and to the instructions that they provide.
Page 203: Placing Oracle Exadata Rack In Its Allocated Space
Ensure the leveling and stabilizing feet on the rack are raised and out of the way. Push Oracle Exadata Rack from behind to the installation site. When moving Oracle Exadata Rack to the installation site, the front casters do not turn; you must steer the unit by moving the rear casters. You can safely maneuver Oracle Exadata Rack by carefully pushing it.
Page 204: Stabilizing Oracle Exadata Rack
Figure 4-2 Carefully Push Oracle Exadata Rack from Behind Oracle recommends having two people to move the rack: one person in front and one person in back to help guide the rack. When transporting configured racks from one location to another, take care to move them slowly, 0.65 meters per second (2.13 feet per second) or slower.
