If you would
like to get a first hand glimpse of how easy it is to configure an ODA, even if
you don’t have access to one, it’s possible to download the Appliance
Manager Configurator from the Oracle
Technology Network, and run it standalone on your PC or Linux/Unix
workstation.
The configurator
is packaged in a zip file that contains the complete Java environment to run
standalone.
Once the package is downloaded and unzipped it’s simply a
matter of launching it using the config command or shell depending on
your runtime environment.
Oracle Appliance Manager Configurator is a Java-based
tool that enables you to input your deployment plan and validate your network
settings before an actual deployment, or you can just preview and experiment with it.
Simply
download and run the configurator on a local client system which can be a
Windows, Linux, or UNIX system. (For Windows launch the batch file config.bat
for Linux/Unix environments, run ./ config.sh).
You
will be presented with the very same dialogs and options used to configure a production ODA but on your workstation. At the end of a configurator session, you may save your
deployment plan in a configuration file. If you were actually ready to deploy, you could copy
this configuration file to a real ODA where the online Oracle
Appliance Manager Configurator would use the contents to deploy your plan in production.
You
may also print the file’s content and use the printout as a checklist for
setting up your production external network configuration. Be sure to use the
actual production network addresses you intend to use it as this will only work
correctly if your client system is connected to same network that will be used
for the ODA. (This step is not necessary if you are just
previewing the Configurator).
This is a great way to get an introductory look at
the simple and intuitive Database Appliance configuration interface and the steps
to configure a system.
