About the Simulator
Overview
The Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 simulator application is a container-base simulator on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that simulates the operation of an Oracle Database Appliance X8-2 single-node or high-availability (2 nodes) system. You must have an OCI account to run the Oracle Database Appliance simulator. When you launch the Oracle Database Appliance simulator on the OCI Marketplace, a simulator VM is started in your tenancy. If you use the Always Free OCI account, due to the 1 GB memory limitation, it is recommended that you set up the simulator with the single-node option.
Following are the steps to set up the simulator environment so that you can run the Oracle Database Appliance hands-on labs to learn how to deploy, patch, and manage an Oracle Database Appliance.
