Configuring host support for OCI
OCI supports both Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) and non-OEL hosts.
For OEL hosts both paravirtualized and iSCSI type of volume attachments are supported.
Non-OEL hosts support only iSCSI type of volume attachment.
Perform the following steps on a non-OEL host to support paravirtualized attachments. You can attach block volumes to use Paravirtualized type of attachment.
Oracle Cloud Agent must be installed on all the hosts to take consistent snapshot and granular restore.
- Change the attachment type to iSCSI.
- Run a plug-in level discovery or deep discovery.
- Post which the application consistent snapshots are taken for this host.
