Step 2

On an actual appliance, after you first install Oracle Database Appliance into your data center rack, you must configure it to use the IP address your network administrator has assigned it. The easiest way to do this is to first configure ILOM using a network or serial connection. Oracle Database Appliance includes a command odacli configure-firstnet to make it very easy to get Oracle Database Appliance on the network. Once your appliance is on the network, you can complete the rest of the deployment steps from any networked computer.

Run the network configuration command odacli configure-firstnet at the Linux prompt. Respond to the prompts as in the example below. Since this is a simulation, to configure the network, you can use any IP address (for example, 192.168.0.100) to complete this step.

[oracle@xx ~]$  odacli configure-firstnet

If this is an Oracle Database Appliance X8-2-HA system, you must run the command odacli configure-firstnet on the second node (node-1). Log into node-1 and run the command odacli configure-firstnet again. You can use 192.168.0.101 for the IP address for node-1.
