Prerequisites

Before you begin:
  • Ensure that the Oracle C3 REST API is available for your environment. The <system_name>.<domain name> of the Oracle C3 is required for API connection. See Using the API to Manage Compute Cloud@Customer Resources.
  • Prepare the IAM configuration .ini file and private key used for Oracle C3 authentication. Ensure that the region is set to <system_name>.<domain_name>.
  • If Oracle C3 is protected by a private CA certificate, obtain the certificate thumbprint for trust validation during connection setup.

Key steps

  1. Set up your Oracle C3 environment.
  2. Create a connection to the Oracle C3 endpoint.
  3. Create a machine catalog.
    Note:
    Before creating a catalog, ensure one or more Oracle C3 machines are available and VDAs are installed on those machines.
  4. Create a delivery group.
  5. Migrate any remaining unmanaged Oracle C3 machines into managed catalogs or delivery groups.
