This chapter describes how to return Oracle Database Appliance to operation after you have performed service procedures. It includes:
Returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 to Operation
Returning Oracle Database Appliance (Original Version) to Operation
This section describes returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, and Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 to operation after servicing. If you have Oracle Database Appliance (original version), go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance (Original Version) to Operation.
Note:
The links in the following table take you to instructions outside of the Oracle Database Appliance library to the Sun Server X3-2, Sun Server X4-2, and Oracle Server X5-2 documentation libraries. Use your browser's Back button to return to the Oracle Database Appliance library.ODA X3-2 | ODA X4-2 | ODA X5-2 |

When powering on the system, each server node is powered on separately.
Perform the following procedure to power on the Oracle Database Appliance.
This procedure describes how to restore power to Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 after servicing.
The disks begin to initialize and the power supply LEDs light green. This can take several minutes.
Note:
Do not power on the server nodes until the disks on the storage shelf and storage expansion shelf have initialized.Press the recessed Power button on the server node front panel.
Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Power Control, and select Power On from the Select Action list box.
Log in to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI), and type the following command at the Oracle ILOM CLI prompt.
-> start /SYS
When the server is powered on and the power-on self-test (POST) code checkpoint tests have completed, the green Power/OK status indicator on the server node front panel lights and remains lit.
Note:
If you powered off both server nodes prior to servicing, repeat steps 3 and 4 to power on the second server node.This section describes returning Oracle Database Appliance (original version) to operation after servicing. If you have Oracle Database Appliance X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, or Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 to Operation.
If you removed the top cover from an Oracle Database Appliance (original version) server node, perform the following procedure to replace it.
Caution:
Hazardous voltage present. Do not run the system with the top cover removed.Caution:
Equipment damage. Install the top cover properly before starting the system.When the top cover is positioned (as described in previous step), the six standoffs on the underside of the cover fit into the slots in the top of the chassis sidewalls.
If you removed a Oracle Database Appliance (original version) server node from the chassis, perform the following procedure to reinstall it.
Note:
Replacing a server node FRU with a new server node is a service activity that must be performed by an Oracle-qualified service technician. The customer may remove the server node to service other customer serviceable components in the server node.Caution:
Equipment damage. Always use the release latches to re-seat the server node into the system chassis as described in this procedure. Failure to do so might damage the connectors on the front of the server node and/or the connectors on the disk midplane module.Follow the instructions listed in the "To Install the System into a Rack" section in the Oracle Database Appliance Owner's Guide.
To power on Oracle Database Appliance (original version), follow this procedure.
Each server node is powered on separately.
Note:
To use Oracle ILOM to power on a server node, ensure that you have performed its initial configuration as described in "Connecting and Configuring Oracle ILOM" in the Oracle Database Appliance Getting Started Guide.Once plugged in, the server node should go into the standby power state. The SP status LED on the front panel of the server node lights green and goes from slow blink to steady on. The Power/OK LED on the front panel of the server node lights green and goes to standby blink. It might take about five minutes for the LED to reach standby blink after the power cord is inserted.
For the location of the SP status LED and Power/OK LED, see Server Node Status Indicators.
Standby power state indicates that the server node's service processor is active, but the server node host is powered off.
If you powered off a single server node without shutting down the appliance, perform this step only for that server node. If you shut down the appliance completely, then perform this step for both server nodes.
On the server node, the green Power/OK LED [2] blinks while the server node is booting, and remains steady on when the server node is operational.
On the server node, the green Power/OK LED [2] blinks while the server node is booting, and remains steady on when the server node is operational.
$ssh username@sp_ip_address
Where username is a user account name with Reset and Host Control (r) privileges and sp_ip_address is the IP address of the server node service processor.
-> start /SYS
