Before You Begin


Caution

Caution - Ensure that you backup all existing databases before running the Java OneCommand.



Caution

Caution - You must use the latest version of OEDA and the Java OneCommand patch (patch 19766190 or later). Refer to the Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) section in MOS Note 888828.1 for details.



Caution

Caution - Any version of Java OneCommand prior to patch 19766190 can destroy the storage cell disks and griddisk if an undo option is performed on certain steps (Create Cell disk, for example). This can cause complete destruction of all the griddisks on the storage cells. In addition, re-running the griddisk creation step or mistakenly specifying a non-unique diskgroup in OEDA will result in the destruction of existing griddisks. Be aware that older versions of Java OneCommand also destroy cell disks and griddisks with the Create Cell Disks step.


  1. Prepare to configure zones.

    See Preparing to Configure Zones on Database Domains.

  2. Ensure that the machine running the OEDA has Oracle JRE 1.6 or later.
  3. Locate the OEDA ZIP files (Ocmd) for your operating system.

    The OEDA files are part of the Ocmd ZIP file that you downloaded earlier in this process. See Verify Configuration Tool Installation for more information.

    There are different OEDA ZIP files for these operating systems:

    • Linux

    • MacOs

    • Solaris (SPARC)

    • Solaris (Intel)

    • Windows

  4. Unzip the Ocmd ZIP file for your operating system on the first Database Domain that will deploy zones.
  5. Go into the directory that was created after you unzipped the Ocmd ZIP file for your operating system.
  6. Start the OEDA.

    Go to Start the OEDA.
