Oracle Exadata Installation Guide

Version: 1.0
To start any Exadata deployment you need the OEDA configuration files. They are a set of files generated by
the OEDA (Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant) tool. OEDA tool is currently a web-based tool that will allow
the client to fill up all the IP addresses and hostnames that the new Exadata will be assigned. Normally this
step is taken by the client with the support of their network team.

Configuration files needed:

Clientname-clustername.xml
Clientname-clustername-InstallationTemplate.html
Clientname-clustername-preconf.csv

The OEDA tool for Linux is also needed and can be downloaded from the Patch ID 30640393. It is
recommended to go with the latest version available, but if the configuration files were generated with a
different/older version go with that version to avoid warnings during the execution of the onecommand.

Can take necessary patch ID from OEDA template

Exadata One Command Steps

1. Copy the Database software, Grid, One command, patches and template file to
the first Node of the Exadata.

2. Make directory for One Command under /u01/oracle.SupportTools/

# mkdir -p /u01/oracle.SupportTools/onecommand

3. Once the directory is crated move onecommand patch and zip file which
created by the OEDA tool and unzip.

4. Unzip the One Command patch in onecommand directory.

# unzip -q p30640393_193800_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /u01/onecommand/

4. After Unzip onecommand patch. It will create linux-x64 directory. Go to

linux-x64 directory and see the extracted files there.

Cd linux-x64
ls

# ls -lh /u01/onecommand/linux-x64/WorkDir

6. Execute the One Command from ILOM Console. Connect with ILOM IP address of
the first compute node of the Exadata.

6.1 Login with the root/welcome1

7. Go to the linux-x64 directory and list the steps of one command.
