CHAPTER 8 CONFIGURING EXADATA Note: OneCommand does not allow you to modify the character set parameters. So the default databasecreated will use the AL32UTF8 database character set, and AL16UTF16 national character set. After theinstallation is complete, you may choose to drop the default database and create your own databases that meetthe specific requirements of your environment. Keep in mind that Oracle recommends using Unicode for all newdatabase implementations.Network SettingsThe final set of configuration parameters is where you specify the network settings for Exadata.OneCommand supports the configuration of up to four networks, identified as NET0 through NET3.NET0 and NET1 are required and are used for the management network and client access network,respectively. NET2 and NET3 are optional networks you may choose to configure if needed. Table 8-3shows all the network settings used to configure Exadata.Table 8-3.

It is the interface used by the database SCAN listeners.Client applications connect to the database through the NET1interface.
