Using the Console to Activate New Storage Servers

To download an Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer scale configuration file, complete this procedure.

Upload the activation file once the field engineer finishes deploying the storage servers and shares the activation file with you.

Note

Once the activation file is uploaded and the activate process is initiated, you cannot change the Scale Infrastructure request or cancel this whole operation. If there is an activation failure, then contact the field engineer to resolve the issue.

1. Download the activation file.
2. Open the navigation menu. Under Oracle Database, click Exadata Cloud@Customer.
3. Choose the Region and Compartment that contains the Oracle Exadata infrastructure that you are interested in.
4. Click Exadata Infrastructure.
5. Click the name of the Oracle Exadata infrastructure that you want to activate.

   The Infrastructure Details page displays information about the selected Oracle Exadata infrastructure.

6. Click Activate New Storage Server(s).

   The Activate button is only available if the Oracle Exadata infrastructure requires activation. You cannot activate Oracle Exadata infrastructure multiple times.

7. Use the Activate New Server dialog to upload the activation file, and then click Activate Now.

   After activation, the state of the Oracle Exadata infrastructure changes to Active.
