Using the Console to Provision Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure

Learn how to provision an Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure system.

Lifecycle Management Operations

To check the status of a cloud VM cluster
  1. Open the navigation menu. Click Oracle Database, then click Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure
  2. Choose your Compartment.
  3. Click Exadata VM Clusters under Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure.

  4. In the list of cloud VM clusters, find the cluster you're interested in and check its icon. The icon text indicates the status of the system. The following lifecycle states apply to the cloud VM cluster:

    • Provisioning: Resources are being reserved for the Cloud Exadata infrastructure resource. Provisioning can take several minutes. The resource is not ready to use yet.
    • Available: The Cloud Exadata infrastructure was successfully provisioned. You can create a cloud VM cluster on the resource to complete the infrastructure provisioning.
    • Updating: The Cloud Exadata infrastructure is being updated. The resource goes into the updating state during management tasks. For example, when moving the resource to another compartment, or creating a cloud VM cluster on the resource.
    • Terminating: The Cloud Exadata infrastructure is being deleted by the terminate action in the Console or API.
    • Terminated:The Cloud Exadata infrastructure has been deleted and is no longer available.
    • Failed: An error condition prevented the provisioning or continued operation of the Cloud Exadata infrastructure.

    To view the status of a virtual machine (database node) in the cloud VM cluster, under Resources, click Virtual Machines to see the list of virtual machines. In addition to the states listed for a cloud VM cluster, a virtual machine's status can be one of the following:

    • Starting: The database node is being powered on by the start or reboot action in the Console or API.
    • Stopping: The database node is being powered off by the stop or reboot action in the Console or API.
    • Stopped: The database node was powered off by the stop action in the Console or API.
To start, stop, or restart an Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure cloud VM cluster
  1. Open the navigation menu. Click Oracle Database, then click Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure
  2. Choose your Compartment.

  3. Navigate to the cloud VM cluster or DB system you want to start, stop, or reboot:

    Under Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, click Exadata VM Clusters. In the list of VM clusters, find the VM cluster you want to access and click its highlighted name to view the details page for the cluster.

  4. Under Resources, click Virtual Machines to display the compute nodes of the cloud service instance. Click the Actions menu (
    action menu
    ) for a node and then click one of the following actions:

    • Start:;Restarts a stopped node. After the node is restarted, the Stop action is enabled.
    • Stop: Shuts down the node. After the node is powered off, the Start action is enabled.
    • Reboot: Shuts down the node, and then restarts it.
    Note

    • For billing purposes, the Stop state has no effect on the resources you consume. Billing continues for virtual machines or nodes that you stop, and related resources continue to apply against any relevant quotas. You must Terminate a cloud VM cluster to remove its resources from billing and quotas.
    • After you restart or restart a node, the floating IP address might take several minutes to be updated and display in the Console.

Network Management Operations

To edit the network security groups (NSGs) for your client or backup network

Your client and backup networks can each use up to five network security groups (NSGs). Note that if you choose a subnet with a security list, the security rules for the cloud VM cluster or DB system will be a union of the rules in the security list and the NSGs. For more information, see Network Security Groups and Network Setup for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure Instances.

  1. Open the navigation menu. Click Oracle Database, then click Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure
  2. Choose your Compartment.
  3. Navigate to the cloud VM cluster or DB system you want to manage:

    Cloud VM clusters (new resource model): Under Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, click Exadata VM Clusters. In the list of VM clusters, find the VM cluster you want to access and click its highlighted name to view the details page for the cluster.

    DB systems: Under Bare Metal, VM, and Exadata, click DB Systems. In the list of DB systems, find the Exadata DB system you want to access, and then click its name to display details about it.

  4. In the Network details, click the Edit link to the right of the Client Network Security Groups or Backup Network Security Groups field.

  5. In the Edit Network Security Groups dialog, click + Another Network Security Group to add an NSG to the network.

    To change an assigned NSG, click the drop-down menu displaying the NSG name, then select a different NSG.

    To remove an NSG from the network, click the X;icon to the right of the displayed NSG name.

  6. Click Save.

Management Tasks for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Platform

To view a work request for your Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure resources
  1. Open the navigation menu. Click Oracle Database, then click Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure.

  2. Choose your Compartment.

    A list of DB systems is displayed.

  3. Find the Cloud Exadata infrastructure, cloud VM cluster, DB system or database resource you're interested in, and click the name.
  4. In the Resources section, click Work Requests. The status of all work requests appears on the page.

To move an Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure resource to another VM cluster
Note

  • To move resources between compartments, VM cluster users must have sufficient access permissions on the compartment to which the VM cluster is being moved, as well as the current compartment. For more information about permissions for Database resources, see "Details for the Database Service".
  • If your Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure VM cluster is in a security zone, then the destination compartment must also be in a security zone. See "Security Zone Policies" for a full list of policies that affect Database service resources.
