Setting Up the Provisioning Server for an Oracle Autonomous Database

This section describes the prerequisite tasks and the script that must be run to set up the Provisioning Server for an Oracle Autonomous Database.

Prerequisites

• You must have deployed the Provisioning Server as described in the section "Creating the Linux Instance for the One-Click Provisioning Server" of this Learning Path.
• You must have allocated storage volume to the Linux VM for the Provisioning Server.
• You must have performed the tasks described in the section "Performing Common Setup for All Linux Servers" of this Learning Path.

General

Use the following general steps to set up the Provisioning Server for an Oracle Autonomous Database.

1. Ensure that you have performed all the tasks described in the tutorial "Performing Common Setup for All Linux Servers" of this Learning Path, including the steps to create groups and users as well as assigning proper permissions to /u01.
2. Ensure that you have created Block Volume storage with 150 GB for use by the Provisioning Server. This space is required:

   • To install an Oracle database client for connection to the Oracle Autonomous Database.

   • To extract the database package so that the data can be transferred to the Oracle Autonomous Database.

   You should have already created and attached the requisite Block Storage if you followed the instructions in the module of this Learning Path entitled: Creating Storage for Linux Instances.

   Use this command to view your available storage space on /u01:

   df -h

   You should have allocated 150 GB on /u01.

   Note: If the boot volume size is not 150 GB, you can either redo the instructions to create the instance with a boot volume size of 150 GB, or optionally you can resize the boot volume by following the instructions in “Resizing a Volume” in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
3. Run this script to install the necessary prerequisites to the Oracle database client and its required package to enable the Provisioning Server to connect to ADB:

   sudo ./setupPrAutoDB.sh
