Verify the Status of the Replication Engine

Verify the status of the installation of the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine by checking the LEDs on the Replication Engine or by logging in to the Oracle MaxRep Support user interface and configuring the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) network.

Note: The ILOM port must be configured prior to connecting the Replication Engine to the customer network for security reasons.

For more information on how to access the Oracle MaxRep Support user interface, refer to the Oracle MaxRep for SAN User’s Guide.

Configure the ILOM port on the Replication Engine to send hardware fault notices to the Call‑Home server.

Call‑Home is a feature that, when enabled, allows the Oracle FS System to send the Replication Engine status information, the appropriate logs, and the system configuration information to Oracle Customer Support.

The Call‑Home feature also notifies Oracle Customer Support about certain issues that might exist in the Replication Engine. For example, when a hardware component operates in degraded mode or fails, the system automatically performs actions to maintain the availability of the services that are provided by the failed component.

Although a component failure does not cause downtime, manual intervention is sometimes required to repair or to replace the failed component. In these situations, the system sends a Call-Home message to initiate a repair process or a replacement process of the failed component. Call-Home messages are also sent for normal events, such as a system shutdown or a system restart.
