What are the two benefits of using Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA)?

Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) offers multiple benefits for configuring and deploying Exadata systems:

Configuration Gathering and Rack File Creation: OEDA simplifies the setup of Exadata environments by collecting system-specific configuration details. It uses this information to generate the Exadata Rack configuration file, which outlines the optimal setup for the particular environment, streamlining the deployment process and ensuring compatibility with Oracle best practices​ .

Lifecycle Management CLI for Exadata Systems: OEDA includes a command-line interface (CLI) that facilitates various lifecycle management tasks, specifically designed for Exadata systems. This CLI helps in automating deployment steps, adjusting configurations, and updating system parameters, tailored specifically for Exadata’s hardware and software environment .
