About Provisioning Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer Systems
To provision an Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer system, you must work with Oracle to set up and configure the system.
Provisioning an Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer system is a collaborative process. The process is performed in the following sequence:
- You create the Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer infrastructure.
- You generate a file containing the infrastructure configuration details, and provide it to Oracle.
- The Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer system is physically installed in your data center.
- Oracle uses the infrastructure configuration file to perform initial system configuration. At the end of this task, Oracle supplies you with an activation file.
- You activate the Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer infrastructure by using the supplied activation file.
When the provisioning process is complete, the Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer system is ready for you to use. You can then create a virtual machine (VM) cluster, and later create some databases.
