Exalogic vDC Management - Part 7


Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 


I will make a deal with you:  If you refer me to a company that needs database support, from a few hours per week to full time, and I am able to sign a contract with them.
Then I will give you 10% of the monthly contract or deal price every month.  When the contract ends, and we re-sign the contract, I will again give you 10% of the monthly contract price.  This will go on until the company no longer employs or contracts me or my agents to look after their databases.
I can do this, because that 10% is my marketing budget.  When we re-sign the contract, in the future, it may depend on you giving the thumbs up again, and that is worth 10% of the monthly contract price, to be given to you as commission.

Exalogic vDC Management -  Part 7
Creating Private vNets
A private vNet is an IPoIB network that has been created within the Exalogic fabric, in order to enable secure vServer to vServer communication.

There are a few steps required to create a private vNet.
1. Move to the left navigation panel, and click on “vDC Management”.  Find the name of your account under the “vDC Accounts” that have been listed, for example “Dept1”.  The vDC Account dashboard is displayed.
2. On the “Actions” pane, click on “Create Private vNet”, the Create Private vNet wizard is displayed .



3. Enter a name for the private vNet in the “Name” field.  For example “vNet1”.  The name can consist of letters of the alphabet, upper case and lower case, and numerals.
4. In the “Description” field, you can optionally enter a description for the private vNet.  Optionally you can create tags.
5. Click on the “Next” button.  The “Private vNet Configuration” screen is displayed.
6. Enter the maximum number of vServers that can be part of this vNet, in the “Number of elements” field.  The numbers will be rounded up to the next value in the range of numbers (2,6,14,30,62,126,254,510,1022,2046,4096,8190).  The slider on the screen has a set of limited values.  If you enter a value that is not in the list, then on the summary screen, you will see that it has moved up to the next highest number.  If for example you entered the number 30, then you would have 8 IP addresses in the range.   However the highest and lowest addresses are reserved, so you would effectively have 6 IP addresses in the range, that are available to the private vNet.
7. Click on the “Next” button, the “Summary” screen is displayed.  Review the Summary and when you are satisfied, you can click on the “Finish” button.  This will create the private vNet.  You can verify the private vNet, by clicking on the “Networks” tab on the top navigation bar.  You will see it listed in the “Private vNets” section.  Once you have created a private vNet, then you can use it for new vServers, that are created by Cloud Users in this Account.
