Done creation of installation ISO for compute node
14.
Attach the ISO as virtual media to the ILOM of the database server to be
reimaged, and select CDROM as the next boot device.
15.
Reboot the database node or cell to start the imaging process from the ISO.
16.
If you are using Oracle VM, run
switch_to_ovm.sh
on each database server. The
database servers will reboot.
For example:
# /opt/oracle.SupportTools/switch_to_ovm.sh
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Switch to DOM0 system partition /dev/VGExaDb/
LVDbSys3 (/dev/mapper/VGExaDb-LVDbSys3)

2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Set active systen device to /dev/VGExaDb/
LVDbSys3 in /boot/I_am_hd_boot
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Reboot has been initiated to switch to the DOM0

Run
reclaimdisks.sh
on each database server.
The
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/reclaimdisks.sh -free -reclaim
command reclaims disk space reserved for the deployment type not selected. The
command takes less than 5 minutes, approximately. Systems are imaged with
disks configured with RAID5; a RAID rebuild is no longer part of the
reclaimdisks.sh
process.
Do not skip this step. Skipping this step results in unused space that can no longer
be reclaimed by
reclaimdisks.sh
.
For example:
# /opt/oracle.SupportTools/reclaimdisks.sh -free -reclaim
