5.8.5 Using USB to Image a New System
To prepare a new Exadata system for deployment using USB, perform the following
steps:
1.
Obtain the latest Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA).
2.
Run OEDA to generate the
preconf.csv
file that you can use to image the system.
3.
Power on all the servers.
a.
Database nodes and cells will automatically assign to themselves unused IP
addresses on eth0 in the 172.16 range.
b.
Host names of the nodes will be of the format
nodeN
, where N is a number.
4.
Connect to the first database node. You can do this by connecting a laptop to the
ILOM serial management port (9600, 8, N, 1), and then connecting to the console
and logging in to the database node.
5.
Obtain the eth0 MAC address for each database node. This is the
fru_macaddress
field from
/SYS/MB/NET0
in the ILOM, or use the command
ip addr
if logged into
the console.
a.
Connect to the other database nodes using SSH from the console.
b.
Run
ibhosts
to get a list of node names and IP addresses.
6.
Insert the MAC addresses using uppercase characters in the seventh field of the
preconf.csv
file for each node. This field should be empty, that is, you should see
two consecutive comma characters (
,,
). For example, if the MAC address is
00:10:E0:69:34:52:
orhb42-b08-01,us.oracle.com,db,eth0,eth0,Management,00:10:E0:69:34:52,
10.196.3.106,255.255.224.0,10.196.31.250,orhb42-b08-01-priv,Private:active-bond-
ib,
192.168.10.15,255.255.255.0,,,America/Los_Angeles
7.
Run
ipconf
to verify the generated
preconf.csv
file. This can be done on any
Oracle Exadata server, and although not required, it is useful to ensure the
preconf.csv
file is valid before proceeding.
