Checklist for System Details
Use the checklist to gather system information that you need to obtain for Oracle
Database Appliance. Record the values for your system.
Table 2-1 Checklist for System Configuration Information for Oracle Database
Appliance
System Information
Description
Host Name
The name for the Oracle Database Appliance System. The name must
conform with the RFC 952 standard, which allows alphanumeric
characters and hyphens ( - ), but does not allow underscores ( _ ). The
name should not begin with a numeral or hyphen and should not end
in a hyphen. Oracle recommends that you use all lowercase
characters for the host name.
Domain Name
Your domain name. For example:
example.com
Master Password
The password set for the root password of the system, OS users,
database users, and pdbadmin. The password is also used to set the
database
SYS
and
SYSTEM
passwords. Ensure that the password you
provide is in compliance with common security practices.
DNS Server
(Optional) DNS server details.
NTP Server
(Optional) Network Time Protocol (NTP) service details.
Region
The region where you plan to operate the Oracle Database Appliance
system.
Timezone
Select the time zone where you plan to operate the Oracle Database
Appliance system.
Database Edition
Select an Oracle Database edition, either Enterprise Edition or
Standard Edition. You cannot mix editions. The database edition you
select determines the database editions that you create in the
appliance. To change editions, you must redeploy Oracle Database
Appliance.
Backup Location
Determine the backup location setting. The setting determines how the
NVMe Disks are partitioned between DATA and RECO. Select
External, Internal, or Custom:
•
External reserves 80% of the storage for DATA and 20% for
RECO.
•
Internal reserves 40% of the storage for DATA and 60% for
RECO.
•
Custom reserves anywhere from 10% to 90% of the storage for
DATA, and the remainder is reserved for RECO.
Percentage of Storage
Reserved for Data
If you select a Custom backup location, determine the amount of
reserves for DATA storage. The percentage must be a whole number
between 10 and 90.
Diskgroup
Redundancy
Determine the redundancy level for DATA, RECO, and FLASH:
If there are up to two disk groups, then you can select the disk group
redundancy as Normal or Flex. A quorum disk must exist, if you want
to select Flex redundancy. If there are more than two disk groups, then
you can select the redundancy as Normal (two way mirror), High
(three way mirror), or Flex.
If you select High redundancy, then DATA, RECO, and FLASH are all
High redundancy.
