I was doing some tasks off from my task list and one of the things exachk highlighted was that we should create user CELLDIAG on cells. Beginning with Exadata Storage Server Software version 12.1.2.2.0, the storage server user “CELLDIAG” is…
Our case where to gather information was actually related to two disks going OFFLINE at the same time. As I wasn’t sure if this is normal Exadata behavior I went and created Service Request for this. This is what we…
