RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home/RAC Attack 12c/Linux Post Installation With Internet

  To connect to the new created virtual machine, create a connection in Putty for the new VM called collabn1 with the IP Address of 192.168.78.51. 


 * Optionally, create another connection for collabn2 with the IP Address of 192.168.78.52 that will be created later as a clone of collabn1.



 Open the collabn1 connection by clicking Open. 
 * Click Yes on the Security Alert dialog box.



 Enter root at the login as: prompt and racattack at the password: prompt. 



 Turn off and disable the firewall IPTables. 

[root@collabn1 ~]# service iptables stop iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                        [  OK  ] iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter         [  OK  ] iptables: Unloading modules:                              [  OK  ]

[root@collabn1 ~]# chkconfig iptables off

[root@collabn1 ~]# chkconfig --list iptables iptables       0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

 Disable SELinux. Open the config file and change the SELINUX variable from enforcing to disabled. 

[root@collabn1 ~]# vim /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: #    enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. #    permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. #    disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: #    targeted - Targeted processes are protected, #    mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted

 Verify that all the network interfaces are up.
