Can you verify if there are array LUN's present?
If so the array can be configured as you would in a normal sense and use Intellisnap as you would with array config. Now I think about it you could be facing a ZFS Storage Appliance as underlying storage array, this is not uncommon with Exadata, if this is the case you will probably need to have this array configured, please find image for dependencies:

If not and only local disks are present I don't see how we can leverage Intellisnap.

I doubt this is supported, this is a database appliance.
With appliances this is often not the case due to local resources only.
I don't expect to see array LUN's presented on the appliance, but hopefully I am wrong..
Additionally documentation stated “MediaAgents cannot be installed on Exadata database machines” which indicates that at least the node it self is incapable of managing snapshot activities, at best a dedicated MA will be able to if LUN's are presented.
