Oracle Business Intelligence - Network Interface Configuration

You need to choose a suitable name for the server that reflects its role and purpose on the network.

To do this, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file using an editor (e.g., vi)

Set the parameters according to your network characteristics.

It is not recommended to use underscores (_) in the hostname. (Enterprise Manager and other web applications will not be able to connect to the database via http/https)

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=oraclebi.localdomain

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR=192.168.1.9
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

# vi /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search localdomain

options attempts: 2
options timeout: 1

# vi /etc/hosts

## Localdomain and Localhost (hosts file, DNS)
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1            localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

## IPs Public Network (hosts file, DNS)
192.168.1.9 oraclebi.localdomain oraclebi
192.168.1.10 oracle112.localdomain oracle112

You can restart the network interfaces with the following command:

# service network restart
