Retrive Exadata Version and Configuration Information

Option 1: Use DBMS_LOB package to get cell configuration information, as column CONFVAL is CLOB spool confval.txt and search for text make in text file you will see get value in tag <makeModel>  </makeModel> set pagesize 0 SELECT dbms_lob . substr (CONFVAL,4000,1) from V$CELL_CONFIG; spool off This option is good if you don't  have privilege to access storage node and can't execute command Cellcli. You would be able to find out interleaving attribute about Celldisk also as follows. <interleaving>none</interleaving> Explore about interleaving attribute of Celldisk at https://uhesse.com/2011/05/18/exadata-part-vii-meaning-of-the-various-disk-layers/amp/ http://basededonnyes.blogspot.com/2012/01/creating-interleaved-grid-disks.html?m=1 Option 2: From Tanel Podder Blog. I have modified some format to display Make Model properly. COL cv_cellname       HEAD CELL_NAME        FOR A30 COL cv...

Find out location of OCR and Voting Disk for Oracle RAC environment

Find out OCR Location for RAC environment: Option 1: Get the ocr location form file ocr.loc location at /etc/oracle cat /etc/oracle/ ocr.loc Option 2: Execute ocrcheck utility form grid home. Typical grid home is  /u01/app/<version>/grid/bin ./ocr check Find out location of Voting disk: Option 1: Query V$ASM_DISK view. If it is Exadata you would be able to see path as o/cell_ip_address/cell_griddisk_name. i.e. o/192.168.1.1..... SELECT PATH FROM V$ASM_DISK WHERE VOTING_FILE='Y'; Option 2: Use utility crsctl. crsctl is location in bin directory of grid home.
