Connecting a Workstation to the System

Connect a laptop or workstation to the Private Cloud Appliance in order to start system configuration with the initial installation process.

Note

You access the initial configuration wizard through the Service Web UI using a web browser. For support information, see the Oracle Software Web Browser Support Policy.

  1. Connect a workstation with a web browser directly to the management network using an Ethernet cable connected to port 2 in the management switch.

  2. Configure the wired network connection of the workstation to use the static IP address 100.96.3.254/23. You can also add 100.96.1.254/23 as another IP address if needed.

    Using the web browser on the workstation, connect to the Private Cloud Appliance initial configuration interface on the active management node at https://100.96.2.32:30099. This 100.96.2.32 address is the predefined virtual IP of the management node cluster for configuring Private Cloud Appliance

    Complete the initial system configuration using the GUI (preferred) or the Service CLI. See Configuring the Private Cloud Appliance System
