You can configure Oracle VDI on a host in the following circumstances:
As part of the software installation, immediately after installing or updating the Oracle VDI software on a host.
As a separate step, after installing or updating the Oracle VDI software on a host.
As a separate step, after unconfiguring Oracle VDI on a host.
To use a remote MySQL database instead of the embedded Oracle VDI MySQL database, ensure you have all the required information as described in Section 3.2.6, “Preparing to Use a Remote MySQL Database”.
(Optional) Start the configuration script.
This step is not necessary if you configure the software at the same time as installing the software.
Run the following command as root:
# /opt/SUNWvda/sbin/vda-config

Normally you do not need to know this password and an automatically-generated password is used. To use the automatically-generated password, press the Return key. Otherwise you can provide a password, which you have to enter twice to confirm. The password must contain at least five characters.
DNS name of this host:
The fully-qualified DNS name of the host, for example
primary.example.com

valid DNS entry for the host, otherwise the configuration
fails.
Maximum number of sessions on this host: This is the maximum number of user sessions that can run on each Oracle VDI host in the Oracle VDI Center.
User ID range start: Oracle VDI creates a local user for each user session on the Oracle VDI host. This option enables you to specify the starting number of the user ID.
Database: Choose whether to use the embedded Oracle VDI MySQL database, or connect to a remote MySQL database. For more information about using remote databases, see Section 3.2.6, “Preparing to Use a Remote MySQL Database”.
