About the Standalone Oracle Database Appliance Configurator
Use the standalone Oracle Database Appliance Configurator to create an Oracle
Database Appliance Virtualized Platform offline deployment plan and validate your
network settings before the actual deployment.
If you prefer to configure your system at the time you deploy the virtualized platform,
then you can wait and use the online Configurator that is part of virtualization image for
Oracle Database Appliance.
The standalone Oracle Appliance Manager Configurator is a Java-based tool that
enables you to generate your virtualized platform deployment plan and validate your
network settings before the actual deployment. If you want to use this tool before
deployment, then you must download and run the Configurator on a local client
system. The local client can be a Linux, UNIX, MAC, or Windows system, and must be
on the same network as the appliance.
The Configurator provides two types of configuration: Typical and Custom. The
Typical configuration is recommended in most cases. Choose the Custom
configuration option if you want to configure additional or alternate network interfaces,
or if you want to override the default values for one or more of the following:
• Database block size, language, territory, backup file location, or disk redundancy
level for the DATA and RECO disk groups
• Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (Oracle ILOM) server.
• Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) configuration. You can configure
Oracle ASR after deployment.
• Oracle Cloud File System mount point and file system size. Configure a Cloud FS
if you want a non-database file location accessible by both nodes.
• Network Time Protocol service server.
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.
