Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Installation Guide

Bring Up Initial Configuration Tool

1. Log in to My Oracle Support (MOS).

   Go to the My Oracle Support (MOS) site:

   https://support.oracle.com/

   and click on the Sign In button to log in to the site.

2. Access the MiniCluster MOS note 2153282.1 that contains information on downloading the Initial Configuration tool.

   Enter 2153282.1 in the search field in the upper right corner of the page, or in the search field beneath the Enter search terms text lower on the page, and locate the MiniCluster MOS note (Oracle MiniCluster S7-2 Software Download Center).

3. Locate the section in the MOS note that provides information on the latest version of the Initial Configuration tool.

   Click on the Latest Release link at the top of the MOS note, or on the MiniCluster Initial Configuration Tool link beneath the Latest Release link, to go to the section in the MOS note with the latest version of the Initial Configuration tool.

4. Click on the patch ID link for the latest version of the Initial Configuration Tool.

   The Initial Configuration tool is contained within a patch. Clicking on the patch ID brings you to the download page for this particular patch.

5. Follow the instructions in the patch page to download the patch zip file that contains the Initial Configuration tool.

   Download the patch zip file onto any system, such as a laptop. Note that the information in the Platform or Language field on the patch page refers to the OS that runs on the MiniCluster itself, not the OS for the system where you will be running the tool. The Initial Configuration tool can be run on a Windows, Solaris or Linux environment.

   You will use the Initial Configuration tool to enter system-level configuration information for your MiniCluster. At one point later in the Initial Configuration tool process, the tool uses the information that you enter to verify system-level IP addresses and host names on the network, so at that point, you must run the tool on the same network where you will be installing the MiniCluster. However, if necessary, you can enter the majority of the configuration information into the tool on any system, without being connected to the same network where the MiniCluster will be installed. These procedures will tell you when you are at the point when you must be connected to the same network where you will be installing the MiniCluster.

6. Extract the downloaded patch zip file.

   A TAR file and README text file are created.

7. Extract the TAR file.

   The UserInput directory is created.

8. Change to the UserInput directory and start the Initial Configuration tool.

   • In a Windows environment, double-click the config-tool.bat file or enter the following in a terminal window from the directory containing the file:

     config-tool

   • In a Solaris or Linux environment, enter the following in a terminal window from the directory containing the file:

     ./config-tool.sh

   The Initial Configuration tool window appears.

9. Begin entering the general configuration information into the Initial Configuration tool.

   Go to Provide General Configuration Information.
