PMAC Initialization wizard

Caution:

The initialization feature is not intended for general customer use and should be used only as directed by My Oracle Support.

The PMAC Initialization wizard is accessible on the PMAC menu under Administration > PMAC Initialization. If the initialization state is Uninitialized when a user logs into the PMAC GUI, the first page of the PMAC Initialization wizard launches automatically. An administrative (admin group) user needs to perform the initialization before users can use PMAC.

Note that the PMAC Initialization wizard is available only to guiadmin and pmacop users.

The wizard guides you through the following process:

1. Select a network configuration profile.
2. Modify the default network data associated with the selected profile.
3. Enabling and disabling features.
4. View the relationship between the networks and their assigned network roles.
5. Modify the IP address and description of the network interface.
6. If the selected profile enabled a feature requiring DHCP, set up the IP address range for DHCP.
7. If the selected profile specified a route, modify the IP information for the route.
8. View a summary of all data configured with the wizard prior to applying the configuration.

Note:

The back button will not move backwards through previous pages. In order to change anything on a previous page, you must perform a cancel, or finish the initialization and reconfigure.

At any point during the initialization, you can execute a cancel command. Cancel discards all changes to the configuration and sets the initialization state to Uninitialized.

Once initialization successfully completes, the wizard is not accessible again from the GUI. If you need to reconfigure PMAC, call My Oracle Support.
