- Creating your database instance. See Configuring the RDBMS.
NOTE: You can create the database instance at any point before installing the Siebel Database Server, as described in Installing the Siebel Database Server and Configuring the Siebel Database.
- Obtaining Siebel media and creating a Siebel installation image on the network, from which installs will be performed. See Creating the Siebel Installation Image on the Network.
