Without Using the Initial Configuration Tool

If you do not want to use the Initial Configuration tool to gather the necessary system-specific configuration information, provide the necessary system-level configuration information in these tables.

  1. Provide system-level configuration information in this table.

    You will use the information in this table when you manually enter information using installmc --deploy later in this document.

    Field
    Description
    Entry
    Unique prefix for MiniCluster
    System-level host name prefix to be used for your MiniCluster. Specify up to 6 characters or fewer. For example: mc2.
    The host name prefix and domain name entries are used when host names are generated for components in the system, such as mc2-n1.us.example.com for the host name for the first compute node.
    Netmask in CIDR form
    Subnet mask for the client access network in CIDR form. For example, 23.
    First IP address (range 1)
    Starting IP address for the IP addresses assigned to the client access network..
    Count of IP addresses (range 1)
    Total number of IP addresses that you need for the client access network. This number represents the number of consecutive IP addresses that will be available for the client access network when creating database or application virtual machine groups, beginning with the starting IP address you entered above.
    Starting IP address and pool size (additional ranges)
    (Optional) If you want additional separate sets of IP addresses, provide the starting IP addresses and pool sizes for those additional IP address sets.
    Default gateway address
    Gateway IP address for the client access network. For example,.
    Domain name
    Domain name for your company. The name can contain alphanumeric characters, periods (.), and hyphens (-). The name must start with an alphanumeric character. This field cannot be empty. For example, us.example.com.
    The host name prefix and domain name entries are used when host names are generated for components in the system, such as mc2-n1.us.example.com for the host name for the first compute node.
    DNS servers
    IP address for the domain name servers. At least one IP address must be provided in the first DNS server location.
    NTP servers
    IP address for the Network Time Protocol servers. At least one IP address must be provided in the first NTP server location.
    [ILOM] Netmask in CIDR form
    Subnet mask for the management network in CIDR form. For example, 24.
    [ILOM] IP address of first compute node
    ILOM IP address of the first compute node.
    [ILOM] IP address of second compute node
    ILOM IP address of the second compute node.
    [ILOM] Default gateway address
    Gateway IP address for the management network.
    [ILOM] DNS servers
    IP address for the domain name servers for the management network. At least one IP address must be provided in the first DNS server location.
    [ILOM] NTP servers
    IP address for the Network Time Protocol servers for the management network. At least one IP address must be provided in the first NTP server location.
    Type of cable to be used to connect to client access network.
    Type of cable that you will use to connect the MiniCluster to the 10GbE client access network. Options are copper or fiber. See Connect the 10GbE Client Access Network for more information.
    Client access network high availability type
    Method that you want to use to make the client access network highly available. Options are IPMP (IP network multipathing) or AGGR (data link aggregation).
    Location 1
    First level of time zone information. For example, America.
    Location 2
    Second level of time zone information. For example, Los Angeles.
    PCI DSS Compliance
    Allows you to enable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance, if necessary. Options are Yes or No.
    Security Keystore Type
    Functions that are used in the Oracle Solaris cryptographic framework. Default choice: pkcs11.
    pkcs11
    VLAN ID information (optional)
    If you want to set up a tagged VLAN configuration on the client access network, enter the VLAN tag ID.
    Port VLAN information (optional)
    If you want to set up an untagged (port-based) VLAN configuration on the client access network, enter the port VLAN ID.
    [ILOM] VLAN ID information (optional)
    If you want to set up a tagged VLAN configuration on the management network, enter the VLAN tag ID.
    [ILOM] Port VLAN information (optional)
    If you want to set up an untagged (port-based) VLAN configuration on the management network, enter the port VLAN ID.
  2. Provide system-specific IP address and host name information in this table.

    The information that you are providing in this table is the same information that normally would be generated automatically by the Initial Configuration tool.

    To complete this table correctly:

    • Enter the starting IP address for range 1 for the client access network that you entered in the previous table as the first IP address in this table.

    • Use consecutive IP addresses for each IP address for the client access network after the starting IP address.

    • Use the unique host name prefix for MiniCluster that you entered in the previous table as the hostname-prefix in this table. For example, mc2.

    • Use the domain name that you entered in the previous table as domainname in this table. For example, us.example.com.

    System-Level Component
    IP Address Entry
    Host Name Entry

    First of three SCAN IP addresses for system-level Oracle RAC on client network in your MiniCluster
    hostname-prefixss-scan.domainname
    mc2ss-scan.us.example.com
    Second of three SCAN IP addresses for system-level Oracle RAC on client network in your MiniCluster
