Deploying the OCI Instance

The OCI instance configuration procedure includes a multi-dialog wizard that presents configuration options in the preferred sequence. The ISR has four components to be installed: Index, RSS, Dashboard, and FACE.
  1. Create a VM instance by logging into the OCI console and selecting the appropriate region.
  2. Click Create a VM instance. The Create Computer Instance page appears.
  3. Enter appropriate information in the following fields:
    • Name your instance—Provide a component name
    • Choose an operating system—Select Oracle Linux 7.x from Platform image
    • Availability Domain—Select the domain to use
    • Instance Type—Select Virtual Machine
    • Instance Shape—Select either VM.Standard.E2.4 (8 CPUs, 32 GB memory, 4 VNICs) or VM.Standard2.4 (8 CPUs, 60 GB memory, 4 VNICs)
    • Virtual cloud network compartment—Select a virtual cloud network compartment
    • Virtual cloud network—Select a virtual cloud network
    • Subnet compartment—Select a subnet compartment
    • Subnet—Select a subnet and choose Assign a public IP address.
    • Boot volume—Leave as the default value.
  4. In the Show Advanced Options, Management tab, enter appropriate information in the following fields: (Leave Networking, Image, and Host tabs as default values)
    • Choose a compartment for your instance—Select a compartment for your instance
    • Choose a fault domain—Select a fault domain
  5. Click Create to create the instance. The public and private IP of the instance displays.
  6. Selecting Networks and Subnets—Use the following steps to select your networks and subnets. The minium ISR deployment typically has four interfaces.
    • Navigate to Computer, Instances, and open your instance.
    • Click Stop to stop your instance. The infrastructure cannot add interfaces to an instance when it is running.
    • Scroll down to the Attached VNICs section of the instance dialog and click Create VNIC. The Create VNIC dialog box appears.
    • Name your VNICs and select the subnets you created for them in the Create VNIC dialog box.
    • Click the Start button to restart your instance.
  7. After configuring all of your VM instances, install the ISR components. See the ISR Installation Guide for more information.
