What Next

Once the initial installation of your Oracle Private Cloud Appliance is complete, you can begin to customize the appliance for use.

Note:

Ensure you provision the compute nodes before you hand off a newly created tenancy to the tenancy administrator. Unprovisioned compute nodes can cause VCN creation to fail. Ensure you import platform images; see "Provide platform images" in the following table.
