Re: Connecting an Exadata V2 to an X2

We have upgraded a V2 quarter rack to a half rack with X2 components. Works 
like a champ. Ours is all in one rack. The half rack upgrade price did not 
inlclude another rack. The component were shipped on a palate and the Sun guys 
came out and installed all the servers and the additional IB switch in the rack 
and then wired them all together. We did the configuration ourselves. I was in 
a pretty large meeting months after our upgrade when the subject came up and 
there seemed to be no clear statement of policy from the Oracle folks as to 
whether this was "allowable". But it is clearly technically possible and in 
fact, the only way to expand a V2 since you can't buy V2 components from them 
anymore.
