Oracle I/O Domain Administration Guide

Create a Resource Recipe

Use this procedure to create a new resource recipe.

The SuperCluster Virtual Assistant does not prevent you from creating a recipe that exceeds the total resources. To view resources, see View System Resources.

Alternatively, you can define resources in a one-time-use custom recipe while you are creating domains. See Creating and Deploying I/O Domains.

1. Access the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.

   See Log In to the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.

2. In the navigation panel, select Recipes.
3. Under All Resource Recipes, click Add.

   This example shows the screen for an administrator. The non-administrator user screen is similar except as noted below.

   
   
4. Enter this information.

   Allocate resources carefully. The more 10GbE interfaces you configure, the more IP addresses are required. The assistant imposes limits on cores and memory based on the type of domain.

   • Recipe Name – The name of this recipe.

   • Domain Type – Specifies the type of domain that this recipes creates. Your choices are Application Domain, Database Domain, or Database Zone Domain. If you plan to configure the domain with an OVM template, select Application domain (see Upload an OVM Template (Deprecated)).

   • Apply to All – (Only available to administrators) Select this check box if you want all users listed in the Applicable Users list to have access to this recipe.

   • Applicable Users – (Only available to administrators) If you did not select the Apply to All check box, you can select individual users. Use the Control key (or the Command key on a Macintosh) to select more than one user.
