Requirements

Before using this tool, ensure the following prerequisites are met.

On Premises Requirements:

• Operating System: Supports Linux environments, including Oracle Linux (OL) and RHEL-compatible distributions.
• File system permissions: The tool must be installed on the AdminServer host. The user must have read/write permissions on WebLogic Domain, Oracle Middleware, and Java Home directories.
• SSH Connectivity: Passwordless SSH must be established from the AdminServer host to all Managed Server hosts.
  • For SSH Passwords: Configure passwordless SSH between the AdminServer and Managed Servers.
  • For SSH Key Authentication: Use SSH agent to store your key and passphrase for seamless connectivity between the AdminServer and Managed Servers.

  Note:

  Note: Test SSH connectivity from the AdminServer to each Managed Server using ssh <managed-server-host> to ensure authentication works without prompting for a password or passphrase.

• Storage space: Each host must have sufficient disk space to archive Oracle Home, JDK Home, Domain Home, and any custom directories.

Oracle Cloud Requirements

• Oracle Cloud Account (Tenancy): Resources discovered on-premises will be recreated under an OCI Tenancy.
• OCI Compartment: Required to logically group all resources created by the OWM tool.

• OCI Permissions: Ability to create and manage the following resources:
  • Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs)
  • Compute Instances
  • Block Storage
  • Load Balancers (Optional)

Note:

Refer to Required IAM Policies for Non-Admin Users for detailed IAM policy requirements.

If stack users need to create IAM policies in the Default Identity Domain under the root compartment, additional policy management permissions are required. Refer to the detailed Required IAM Policies section later in this document.
