List of Information You Need Before Deployment
Collect security, storage, and network information required to prepare for deploying
Oracle Database Appliance.
Review your security requirements for
root
passwords, determine your storage
requirements and network administration requirements, and complete any required
configuration before your Oracle Database Appliance hardware is delivered.
Security Requirements
•
What root password should you use for Oracle Database Appliance? Root
passwords should comply with your system security requirements.
•
Secure operating systems are an important basis for general system security.
Ensure that your operating system deployment is in compliance with common
security practices.
Storage Administration Requirements
Storage administration is integrated into Oracle Database Appliance. No additional
storage configuration is required.
Oracle Database Appliance includes integrated storage for operational files (operating
system, Oracle Grid Infrastructure home, Oracle Database homes, tools), user data
(database files), and log files (database redo logs). Operational files are stored on
mirrored internal system disks in each server. Data and database redo log files are
stored on shared disks in the storage shelf.
The Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA storage shelf contains ten 1.6 TB SSDs
(partitioned to 1.2 TB to improve performance) for data, which are configured as a
DATA ASM disk group. Four 200 GB SSDs are used for the database redo logs, which
are configured as a REDO ASM disk group.
Note:
Disk hardware capacity is measured using the formula that 1 KB equals
1,000 bytes; software storage requirements are based on 1 KB equals 1,024
bytes.
