About Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant:
Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant includes a configuration tool and a deployment tool.
Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant uses the configuration file created by the configuration tool to configure the Oracle Exadata Database Machine. The Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant configuration tool runs on a client. The client must run one of the following operating systems:
-Oracle Linux x86-64
-Oracle Solaris SPARC (64-bit)
-Microsoft Windows
-Apple OS X (64-bit)
Supported Releases:
This update of Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant supports the following Oracle Database releases and platforms:
Note:
The requirements for Exadata storage servers and database servers listed in My Oracle Support note 888828.1 must be met before installing Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2) or Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1).

Using Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant to Create the Configuration Files
Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) configures the engineered system based on the configuration information entered by the customer.
OEDA is provided as a compressed file. To use OEDA, download the compressed file, extract the file on a client machine, and then follow the instructions in one of the following sections.
OEDA is now available with two different interface types: Java-based, and a new, web-based interface. Both the Java-based and the web-based versions of OEDA are included as part of the same patch download and delivered as part of the normal OEDA release cycle. Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance use the web-based version of OEDA. Oracle SuperCluster configurations continue to be configured using the OEDA Java-based interface.
Topics:
Using the OEDA Web-based Interface
The web-based interface for OEDA is available starting with the October 2018 release of OEDA.
Using the OEDA Java-based Interface
If you downloaded OEDA release September 2018 or earlier, or you are configuring Oracle SuperCluster, then you use the Java-based version of OEDA.
Using the OEDA Web-based Interface
The web-based interface for OEDA is available starting with the October 2018 release of OEDA.
OEDA Web is available for Linux, OSX and Windows. The OEDA Web-based interface can import previous OEDA XML configuration files created with the Java-based version of OEDA.
Note:
The OEDA web interface is supported on only Chrome and Firefox browsers.
Extract the contents of the downloaded compressed file. When you extract the contents, it creates a directory based on the operating system, such as linux-x64, macosx-x64, or windows-i586, to store the extracted files. This is referred to as the OEDA Home directory. The compressed file must be extracted into a directory with no spaces in its path.
Before you can use the web-based interface, you must install and run the Web Application Server. In the created directory, locate and run the installOedaServer program. You do not have to be logged in as an administrator user to run this program. Use one of the following commands, where the -p option specifies the port number:
On Linux, Apple, and UNIX:
./installOedaServer.sh -p 7001 [-g]
On Microsoft Windows:
installOedaServer.cmd -p 7001 [-g]
Note:
You can specify a non-default port (for example, 8002) by using a value other than 7001. However, it is not recommended to use port numbers less than 1024.
By default, the OEDA Web Server will only listen to the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface. Using the command line option -g will enable the OEDA Web Server to listen on all network interfaces.
When you run the installOedaServer program, it first stops and removes any previous installation of the OEDA Web Server. Then it installs and starts the latest version of the OEDA Web Server on the local system.
After the OEDA Web Server has been installed, you can access the web-based application by opening a browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost:7001/oeda
Refer to My Oracle Support note 2460104.1 for more information.
Managing the OEDA Web Server after Installation After you have installed the OEDA Web Server, you can perform basic management tasks on the web server.
