configuration process works, and specific examples of how to apply customer IP
addresses to the rack.

Elastic Configuration on Exadata (My Oracle Support Doc ID 1953915.1)
5.8.3 Using ISO to Image a New System
To prepare a new Exadata system for deployment using ISO, perform the following
steps:
1.
Obtain the latest Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA).
2.
Run the OEDA configuration tool to generate the configuration files.
3.
Power on all the servers.
a.
Database nodes and cells will automatically assign to themselves unused IP
addresses on eth0 in the 172.16 range.
b.
Host names of the nodes will be of the format
nodeN
, where N is a number.
4.
Run OEDA to generate the
preconf.csv
file that can be used to image the system.
5.
Connect to the first database node. You can do this by connecting a laptop to the
ILOM serial management port (9600, 8, N, 1), and then connecting to the console
and log in to the database node.
6.
Obtain the eth0 MAC address for each database node. This is the
fru_macaddress
field from
/SYS/MB/NET0
in the ILOM (or through
ip addr
if logged into the console).
a.
Connect to the other database nodes using ssh from the console.
b.
Run
ibhosts
to get a list of node names and IP addresses.
