Preface

Oracle Database Appliance is a pre-built and ready-to-use clustered database system, that Oracle has optimized to make Oracle Database Appliance easy to deploy, operate, and manage. By integrating hardware and software, Oracle Database Appliance eliminates the complexities of non-integrated, manually assembled solutions. Oracle Database Appliance reduces deployment time from weeks or months to just a few hours, while preventing configuration and setup errors that often result in sub-optimal, hard-to-manage database environments.

The process for installing WebLogic Server and configuring virtual machines, WebLogic domains and clusters on Oracle Database Appliance has also been simplified compared to installation and configuration on industry-standard hardware, dramatically reducing the time needed for provisioning a domain.

Audience

This document is intended for Oracle Database Appliance administrators who are responsible for the initial WebLogic Server configuration and for initiating the process to provision a WebLogic domain. This document is also intended for WebLogic Server administrators who are responsible for administering WebLogic domains after they have been provisioned.

This document assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Database Appliance and Oracle Virtual Machine technology.
