Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Installation Guide

Provide General Configuration Information

Make the following selections in the General pane.

1. Provide information in the Machine field, if necessary.

   • Select the type of MiniCluster system that you ordered. Only valid option is S7-2.

   • If you have a previously-completed configuration file that you want to import, click the Import Configuration File button and navigate to the userinputs.txt file that you want to import. The remaining fields in this screen automatically populate with the information that you provided in the previously-completed configuration file.

     ---

     Note -  Do not attempt to import an omcips.txt file into the Initial Configuration tool. While an omcips.txt file could contain similar previously-completed configuration information, the Initial Configuration tool recognizes and imports information only from a userinputs.txt file and will not recognize and import any information from an omcips.txt file.

2. In the Hostname Prefix field, enter the system-level host name prefix to be used for your MiniCluster.

   Specify up to 6 alphanumeric characters or fewer. For example, mc2.

   ---

   Tip  -  Because the host name prefix will be used along with the domain name to generate host names for components in the system, using a short host name prefix, such as mc2, will make the component-level host names shorter and less cumbersome.

   ---

3. In the Domain Name field, enter the 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.

   Together, these Hostname Prefix and Domain Name fields are used when host names are generated for components in the system.

   For example, a value of mc2 as the system-level host name prefix and us.example.com as the domain name results in the following host names generated for components in the system:

   • mc2-n1-ilom.us.example.com for the Oracle ILOM host name for the service processor in the first compute node

   • mc2-n1.us.example.com for the host name for the first compute node

   • mc2-n2-ilom.us.example.com for the Oracle ILOM host name for the service processor in the second compute node

   • mc2-n2.us.example.com for the host name for the second compute node

   And so on.

4. Provide the management network configuration information.
