Ethernet Port Naming And Boot Order; Configuring Support For Tpm - Oracle Database Appliance Service Manual

Configure TPM Support in BIOS

Ethernet Port Naming and Boot Order

Each Oracle Database Appliance (original version) server node supports two 10/100/1000Base-
T Gigabit Ethernet ports on the rear of the chassis. For port locations, see the Oracle Database
Appliance Owner's Guide.
The device naming for the Ethernet interfaces is reported differently by different interfaces
and operating systems. See the following table for the physical (BIOS) and logical (operating
system) naming conventions used for each interface.
Interface
BIOS
Oracle Linux
The order in which the BIOS detects the Ethernet ports during boot time, and the corresponding
drivers that control those ports, are listed below:
1. NET 0 (INTEL NIC 0)
2. NET 1 (INTEL NIC 1)

Configuring Support for TPM

If you intend to use the Oracle Database Appliance (original version) Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) feature set, you must configure the server node to support this feature.
TPM enables you to administer the TPM security hardware in your server node. For additional
information about implementing this feature, see the Trusted Platform Module Management
documentation.
