5 Oracle Database Appliance Postinstallation Tasks

Complete these administrative tasks after you have deployed software, but before the system is operational.

Topics:

Changing the Oracle Installation Owner Passwords

You must change the default administrative account passwords after installation to secure your system.

After deployment, the root, oracle, grid and database users SYS, SYSTEM and PDBADMIN are set to the master password. Change these passwords to comply with your enterprise user security protocols.

Refer to Oracle Database Appliance Security Guide, Oracle Database Concepts Guide, and Oracle Database Security Guide for information about the required configuration and best practices to secure database systems.

Changing the odacli-adm User Password

Change the odacli-adm user password to restrict access to the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console.

Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S and X6-2M are configured with a default user name, odacli-adm, and password welcome1. The credentials enable access to the Web Console. After deploying the appliance, Oracle recommends resetting the odacli-adm user password.

Note:

Only root user can reset the odacli-adm user credentials.
  1. Log in to the appliance as root.
  2. Run the odacli-adm set-credential command to reset the password. 
    # odacli-adm set-credential --password welcome2 --username odacli-adm
    For more information about the odacli-adm set-credential command, refer to odacli-adm set-credential.

Configuring Oracle Auto Service Request

Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) is a secure support feature that automatically generates a service request for specific hardware faults. Oracle ASR can improve system availability through expedited diagnostics and priority service request handling. You can configure Oracle ASR on Oracle Database Appliance to use its own ASR Manager or use Oracle ASR Manager configured on another server in the same network as your appliance.

To support Oracle ASR, your Oracle Database Appliance hardware must be associated with a Support Identifier (SI) in My Oracle Support. .

You can configure Oracle ASR during initial deployment in the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console. An Oracle ASR configuration requires you to enter your My Oracle Support account user name and password. If a proxy server is required for Internet access to Oracle, then you must also provide the name of the proxy server. You can optionally configure Oracle ASR to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 2 or SNMP Version 3.

See "Validate ASR Systems in My Oracle Support" in Oracle Auto Service Request Installation and Operations Guide to confirm that you have a working Oracle ASR configuration.
