I checked the X7-2 figures from here and it shows 179TB of raw flash
storage.

Are these figures correct? Actually in our X8-2 half rack high capacity we
get ~179TB of flash storage. And here you showed the same on X7-2, so i
have not checked though but you may double check the data sheet to have the
correct IOPS and storage stats to get a clear comparison.
And I think if Disk IOPS is degrading from ~28K to ~18K, even if you have
other small databases in existing X3 and you are moving only the critical
DB to X8 , you should do a full fledged production workload replay on RAT
to see the real impact. As because any Disk IO dependent workload may see
degradation. Others may comment.

Hello All, We have one critical database(say DB1) moving from an X3-2 HC
full rack exadata machine to a new X7-2 HC half rack exadata machine. The
existing X3 full rack was hosting ~4 different other small databases along
with that critical database- DB1. The new X7 will be hosting only the DB1
database for the time being.
So in this scenario as I see the data sheet and put the figures in as
below it seems the X7 half rack is better with respect to both flash and
disk storage capacity and flash IOPS. Just that the disk IOPS seems to be
lower in case of X7 half rack i.e. ~28K vs ~18K. So considering we are not
changing any application functionality of oracle software version etc, so
is it okay to assume we will be seeing improvement only , thus its safe to
directly go with the migration without any full fledged performance test?
Or there is any chances of performance degradation here and thus a full
fledged testing needed like real application testing?
