如何减少Exadata计算节点CPU的Core数量

最近为某客户做一个Exadata的PoC测试，要求是X8 1/8 rack配置，目前机器是1/4 rack的硬件。

OEDA配置时只选择了1/8 rack选项，其他都没有配置。但是在一键刷机时会发现跳过了计算节点的1/8 rack配置，只对存储节点进行了1/8 rack配置，如下：

Successfully completed execution of step Update Nodes for Eighth Rack [elapsed Time [Elapsed = 58142 mS [0.0 minutes] Fri Jun 04 14:21:26 CST 2021]]

那么现在已经刷机完成，此时需要对计算节点也限制cpu核数，匹配 1/8 rack配置，该如何操作呢？

可以使用dbmcli工具来配置：

[root@dbm08dbadm01 ~]# dbmcli

可以看到，需要加force参数才可以修改，而且修改后需要重启机器生效，我们按要求重启后再次查看计算节点CPU情况:

此时可以看到已经成功减半了CPU的核数，匹配 1/8 rack配置，另外的计算节点同样操作即可，不再赘述。
