The default root password for the Oracle Exalytics Release 2.1 Base Image (2.0.0.1.el6) is "welcome1".
After you have installed the Oracle Exalytics Release 2.1 Base Image and configured the network on the Exalytics Machine, you must change the root password.
To change the root password:
For the Oracle Exalytics Release 2.1 Base Image (2.0.0.1.el6), a user named "oracle" and a group named "oinstall" already exists. You next create a password for the user.
To create a password:
User limit is the maximum amount of processors a user can run at the same time. When you add a new user, each user is assigned a low user limit by default. To ensure the new user can run enough processors, you must assign new user limits.
To assign user limits to a new user:
Ensure that the user installing the software has permissions to the /u01 drive.
If the user cannot write to the /u01 directory, then, as root user, enter the following commands to change permissions:
chown
<name of the user>
:<name of the group>
/u01
chmod 775 /u01
For example, if the user name is "oracle" and the user group is "oinstall", enter the following commands:
chown oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod 775 /u01
Disable SELinux after you install Base Image (2.0.0.1.el6) on a Linux 6 operating system.
To disable SELinux
Before you install software on the Exalytics Machine, you must run configuration scripts to verify the disk, software, and hardware configurations of the Exalytics Machine.
This section consists of the following topics:
Check the size of the /u01 disk on the Exalytics Machine. For the X2-4 Exalytics Machine, the size of the disk is approximately 1.7 TB, for the X3-4 Exalytics Machine, the size of the disk is approximately 2.4 TB, and for the X4-4 Exalytics Machine, the size of the disk is approximately 3.5 TB. For the X5-4 Exalytics Machine, the size of the disk is approximately 7.2 TB. For the X6-4 Exalytics Machine, the size of the disk is approximately 7.2 TB.
To check disk configuration:
Next, confirm the base image on the Exalytics Machine.
To confirm the base image:
Note:
Even though the build numbers may be different than the ones listed above, ensure that the updated kernel version is the same as the one displayed above.
