Goal

Where is the Exadata documentation located? I cannot find it via MOS or OTN.

Solution

The V2/X2 Exadata documentation is loaded on every cell server as part of the storage software. It is placed in the following directory:

/opt/oracle/cell/doc/doc

You will find the pdf documents in the /doc.112 directory. Example:
/opt/oracle/cell/doc/doc/doc.112
e17435.pdf
e17432.pdf
e17431.pdf
e16099.pdf
e15589.pdf
e13875.pdf
e13874.pdf
e13862.pdf
e13861.pdf

(V1 can be found in /opt/oracle/cell/doc/E13699_01/doc.111)

The documents are listed by their Oracle documentation number (such as e17435). After you have installed a new storage software version, please check in this directory for any updated documents. Please note: the documents are not necessarily updated with every new release of storage software.

You will know the document has been updated based on the version and date on the title page:
E13861-10 (November 2010)
E13861-11 (April 2011)

Two of our most frequently used documents are:

Oracle® Exadata Database Machine
Owner's Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2)
E13874-xx

Oracle® Exadata Storage Server Software
User's Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2)
E13861-xx

If you cannot find your documentation, please open an SR so we can further assist you.
