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:

  1. You create the Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer infrastructure.
  2. You generate a file containing the infrastructure configuration details, and provide it to Oracle.
  3. The Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer system is physically installed in your data center.
  4. Oracle uses the infrastructure configuration file to perform initial system configuration. At the end of this task, Oracle supplies you with an activation file.
  5. 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.
