Assistant
Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant creates the Oracle Exadata Rack configuration
file. The file automates the installation process. The utility is available from My Oracle

Note:
For ease of reading, the name "Oracle Exadata Rack" is used when
information refers to both Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle
