About Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform Deployment

Review this topic to understand the procedure for carrying out Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform deployment.

Domain Deployment Configuration

You use Oracle Appliance Kit Command-Line Interface, also known as OAKCLI to deploy Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.

When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform, your system is configured with two domains on each server node: Dom0 and ODA_BASE (also known as Dom1). You can use the CPU cores not assigned to Oracle Database (ODA_BASE) for virtual machines, each of which is referred to as a Domain U.
