The Oracle Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) documentation is written for technicians, authorized service providers, data center operators and system administrators who want to install, configure and maintain a private clou environment in order to deploy virtual machines for users. It is assumed that readers have experience installing and troubleshooting hardware, are familiar with web and virtualization technologies and have a general understanding of operating systems such as UNIX (including Linux) and Windows.
The Oracle PCA makes use of Oracle Linux and Oracle Solaris operating systems within its component configuration. It is advisable that administrators have experience of these operating systems at the very least. Oracle PCA is capable of running virtual machines with a variety of operating systems including Oracle Solaris and other UNIXes, Linux and Microsoft Windows. The selection of operating systems deployed in guests on Oracle PCA determines the requirements of your administrative knowledge.
