Oracle recommends that you use the Network Validation page in the Configurator to
test your network settings. To test the network settings, you must run the Configurator
on a client server that is connected to same network subnet that you intend to use for
Oracle Database Appliance. If you do not do this, then the validation fails, regardless
of whether or not you have completed required configuration.
At the end of an offline Configurator session, you can save your deployment plan in a
configuration file. You can use the Configurator to edit your settings. When you are
ready to deploy Oracle Database Appliance, copy this configuration file to the
appliance, and run the online Oracle Appliance Manager Configurator to import and
deploy your saved plan. You can also print the file's content and use the printout to
review your configuration entries for deployment planning purposes and as a checklist
for setting up your external network configuration.
Running the Standalone Oracle Database Appliance Configurator
Download and run the standalone Oracle Database Appliance Configurator to create a
configuration file for the Oracle Database Appliance Virtualization Platform.
In most cases, Oracle recommends that you select the typical configuration. Select the
custom option if you want to configure additional or alternate network interfaces, or if
you want to override the default values. To see the default values for your version of
Oracle Database Appliance software before choosing the Typical or Custom option,
run the Configurator using the Custom option.
The steps described here enable you to create a typical virtualized platform
configuration file.
1.
Download the standalone Oracle Database Appliance Manager Configurator
software to a client.
a.
Go to the following URL
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/
database-appliance/overview/index.html
b.
Click the Downloads tab.
c.
Review the License Agreement, then select Accept License Agreement.
d.
Download the latest version of the Oracle Database Appliance Manager
Configurator zip file to a client.
e.
Extract the files from the zip.
2.
Start the Configurator using the command
config.bat
on a Windows client, or the
command
./config.sh
on a Linux or UNIX client. When the Oracle Database
Appliance Manager Welcome page appears, click Next.
3.
Select the Custom configuration type and select the hardware model from the
menu. Click Next.
The Browse option is not useful during the initial run, because there are no
configuration files to load. If you have an existing configuration file created with
this version of the Configurator that you want to load and edit, then click Browse
and locate the file on your client.
