Re: Exadata x6-2 with x8-2 Cells

Hi Fairlie

We are also considering ordering x7 cells (but with 14TB disks) to avoid any possible reasons and Linux upgrade in the compute nodes. I also opened a SR and got same answer asyou but I insisted asking if compute nodes need Linux upgrade but got no anser yet.

Will share the experience in the next few months hopefully.

Thanks
