You can use the GUI tool oakcli deploy that will walk you thru all the steps and let you add all the IP's and then do the deploy.
You can use the Oracle Appliance Kit offline configurator to generate the conf file and then either run oakcli deploy to quickly validate all the information and runa graphical deploy.
The Oracle Appliance Kit Offline Configurator is available at the Oracle Technology Network ODA Page . The Offline configurator is an exact replica of the oakcli deploy tool except it can be done on your laptop so you dont have to type all the info on the server. The Offline Configurator allows to save a text file in the below format.

This text file contains a complete snapshot of the ODA being Built. Below is how the ODA configurator looks like.
Once the file is loaded you can go thru a standard GUI deployment.
The Second method which is very useful to deploy an ODA is the silent method. you can use the text file generated from the ODA offline configurator and copy the config file
./oakcli copy -conf /software/test11_12.txt Successfully copied the config file!!!
Once the config file has been copied you list what the GridInst.pl steps are
[root@oak1 onecmd]# cd /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd [root@oak1 onecmd]# ./GridInst.pl -l INFO : Logging all actions in /dev/null and traces in /dev/null INFO : Loading configuration file /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/onecommand.params... The steps in order are... Step 0 = ValidateParamFile Step 1 = SetupNetwork Step 2 = WriteNodelists Step 3 = SetupSSHroot Step 4 = SetupDNS Step 5 = UpdateEtcHosts Step 6 = SetTimezone Step 7 = SetupNTP Step 8 = SetupILOM Step 9 = ValidateEnv Step 10 = CreateUsers Step 11 = SetupStorage Step 12 = SetupSSHusers Step 13 = InstallGIClone Step 14 = RunGIClonePl Step 15 = RunRootScripts Step 16 = GIConfigAssists Step 17 = CreateASMDiskgroups Step 18 = InstallDBClone Step 19 = RunDBClonePl Step 20 = DbcaDB Step 21 = SetupEMDbControl Step 22 = SetupACFS Step 23 = SetupTFA Step 24 = SetupASR Step 25 = ResecureMachine [root@oak1 onecmd]#It is very important to validate how many steps are there since Oracle can change the number between the versions. The above is a snapshot of ODA 2.4 Steps. you can decide to break down the number of steps run this in debug mode in which case you will have interaction on some steps. or just execute GridInst.pl via a shell script
[root@oak1 onecmd]# ./GridInst.pl -r 1-25
This will execute the ODA deploy in non GUI mode with all logging happening as normal.
This concludes this 3 part series on how to reinstall an Oracle Database Appliance. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the ODA and i will try to the best of my knowledge to answer them
