1. Single Node Vision Demo
2. Vision Demo Database Tier
3. Production (PROD) Database Tier

5. Sparse Application Tier
   

These appliances can be used to support the following scenarios:

• Multi-node E-Business Suite 12.2.4 installation: Create a multi-node system using the database virtual appliance of choice (either Vision or PROD) and the application tier virtual appliance. That is, Option 2 or 3 above, followed by Option 4.  You can then add secondary application tiers using Option 5.
• Operating system-only installation (Oracle Linux 6.5): The sparse application tier virtual appliance (Option 5) includes the necessary operating system packages, kernel parameter settings, and users (oracle and applmgr) required to install Oracle E-Business Suite, providing benefit for customers who plan to use Rapid Install for their 12.2.4 installation.
