Updating System_Identifier and/or FRU ID Information for a Replacement Motherboard or Disk Backplane

This section is for Oracle field service personnel who replace FRU components, such as the motherboard and disk backplane, that contain special FRU ID information. This FRU ID information includes the System_Identifier and Top Level Identifier (TLI). Maintaining the correct System_Identifier and TLI information in the system is important for the correct operation of the Oracle Database Appliance software and for warranty service.

System_Identifier:

This is an Oracle ILOM setting maintained in the service processor. By logging in to the Oracle ILOM CLI as root, you can reset this value after replacing a server node's motherboard.

FRU ID information:

There are two levels of FRU ID information in Oracle Database Appliance:

Oracle Database Appliance TLI product and serial number
The component server node product and serial number

The FRU ID information is maintained in the motherboard (MB), disk backplane (DBP0) and power supply (PS0).

An Oracle Database Appliance assembled at the factory has the same appliance TLI product and TLI serial number for each bundled component (server nodes, storage shelves). Components added later, such as the optional storage expansion shelf, might have a different TLI.

Additionally, each server node has its own component-level product number and serial number maintained in the FRU ID.

The appliance TLI and server component numbers can be found on labels attached to the top of each appliance server node near the front and look similar to the following illustration:

image:Figure showing TLI label location.

Callout	Description
1	Server serial label
2	Oracle Database Appliance TLI label

If the appliance is in a rack where you cannot see the labels, slide a server node partway out on its rails, just far enough to see the information. Refer to Preparing Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 for Service.

Note:

You only need to extend the server node a couple of inches on its slide rails to see the TLI. You do not need to release any cables, or slide it to the extended maintenance position.

Choose a task to perform:

Update System_Identifier Information

Perform the following steps to update the System_Identifier information after replacing a motherboard.

Log in as root to the service processor of the new motherboard using the Oracle ILOM command line interface.
Set the system_identifier. For example, if you have a ODA X3-2, enter the following command:
set /SP system_identifier="Oracle Database Appliance X3-2 TLI serial number"

Where TLI serial number is the Oracle Database Appliance TLI serial number used in common for both nodes of the appliance. Information stored in the system_identifier is used by the appliance software to confirm the server nodes are a matched pair. You can find the TLI serial number on the top of the server (left front). See Updating System_Identifier and/or FRU ID Information for a Replacement Motherboard or Disk Backplane for label location.

Confirm that the information has been successfully updated by viewing the system_identifier field. Enter the following command:

show /System

The system information is displayed. For example:

/System

    Targets:

        Open_Problems (0)
        Processors
        Memory
        Power
        Cooling

        component_part_number = 7064195
        component_serial_number = 1150FML00J
        system_identifier = Oracle Database Appliance X3-2 5678FM0001
        system_fw_version = 3.1.2.10.a

Confirm that the FRU TLI information is also correct for the system, as follows:
- model: should list the appliance model.
- part_number: should list the appliance TLI part number.
- serial_number: should list the appliance TLI serial number.
- component_model: should list the server node model.
- component_part_number: should list the server node part number.
- component_serial_number: should list the server node serial number.
If the information is correct, you are done and can log out. If the information is not correct, proceed to Update Disk Backplane or System FRU TLI Information.

Update Disk Backplane or System FRU TLI Information

Perform the following steps to confirm or update the Oracle Database Appliance TLI and server FRU ID information. This procedure must be performed when replacing the disk backplane board or when TLI or FRU ID information on the motherboard is not automatically updated after replacement.

If the information is correct, log out. If the information is not correct (does not match the information on the Oracle Database Appliance TLI or server serial labels), repeat the process for information that is missing or incorrect.

Component Fault Management

Typically, when a faulty component is replaced and the server returned to service, the fault state of the component in Oracle ILOM is automatically cleared and the component Service Required indicator will turn off. This is the default behavior for all components that have an embedded FRU serial number in the component firmware.

For replaced components that do not have an embedded FRU serial number, or do not automatically clear their fault state after the component has been repaired and the server is returned to service, you can use Oracle ILOM command line interface to manually clear the fault state. Use the following syntax:

set /path_to_target clear_fault_action=true

Where path_to_target is the path to the component (such as a DIMM) that had the fault.

In addition, the Fault Management shell can also be used. Use of the Fault Management shell is reserved for Oracle Service. For more information on component fault management, see: Using fmadm to Administer Active Sun Hardware Faults in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager Documentation Library.
