Creating a Windows VM in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

This section describes how to create a Microsoft Windows instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute lets you provision and manage compute hosts, known as instances.

Important: While Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers both Bare Metal and Virtual Machine instances, the current version of One-Click Provisioning for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure only supports Virtual Machine instances.

For additional information refer to Creating an Instance.

In preparation for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne One-Click Provisioning, each installation must create a Microsoft Windows VM instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute for the Deployment Server, which is a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne core server.

Creating a Windows VM Instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

With the following exceptions, the procedure for creating a Microsoft Windows instance as a VM is specified in the OBE in this Learning Path entitled "Creating the Linux Instance for the One-Click Provisioning Server".

Exception 1: Change Image for Microsoft Windows Server

Instead of having the requisite Operating System version automatically selected when you are installing from a Marketplace image for the Provisioning Server, you must manually select a specific image that is certified with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Refer to the "Supported Software Versions" section of this Learning Path for the supported release of Microsoft Windows Server.

  1. On Create Compute Instance, in the Image section, click the Change Image button.
    changeimage
  2. On Browse All Images:
    • In the Image name column, click the Windows checkbox.
    • In the OS version column, use the pull-down to select the supported version as specified in the "Supported Software Versions" section of this Learning Path. For example, Server 2019 Standard.
    • In the Image build column, use the pull-down to select the latest build. For example, 2021.03.17-0.

  3. Click the Select Image button.

Exception 2: Login Credentials

Upon creating this Microsoft Windows instance, both a user name and an initial password will be generated for you. They will be available on the details screen for the newly launched Instance. You must create a new password upon logging into the instance for the first time.

Exception 3: Sizing the VM

You must size the VM for the Deployment Server per the Minimum Resource Requirements, which currently states a value of 256 GB.

When you are creating the Windows VM instance, in the "Boot volume" section:

  1. Select the option “Specify a custom boot volume size”.
  2. In the “Boot volume size (GB)” field, enter the value 256.
  3. If it is selected by default, remove the selection for option “Use in-transit encryption”. Neither encryption checkbox should be selected.
