Exadata X11M Systems
X11M systems support elastic configurations instead of fixed shapes such as quarter rack, half rack, or full rack. X11M systems are currently provisioned with a configuration equivalent to a quarter rack.
Elastic infrastructure shapes range from 2 database and 3 storage servers, up to a total of 32 database and 64 storage servers.
To provision an X11M system successfully, the service limits for Exadata X11M Database Server Count and Exadata X11M Storage Server Count in your tenancy should be at least 2 and 3, respectively. Request a service limit increase from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console if required. Observe that the Exadata X11M Database Server Count and Exadata X11M Storage Server Count limits are defined as counts per availability domain. Refer to Request a Service Limit Increase for more details.
Only ECPUs are supported on X11M systems.
