3 Post Discovery Configuration and Verification

Once the Oracle Exalytics Machine has been discovered through Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, you must complete the following post-discovery configuration:

3.1 Configure the Compute Node ILOM SNMP for Enterprise Manager Monitoring

The compute node ILOM targets are responsible for displaying a number of disk failure alerts for their respective compute node that are received as SNMP traps. To configure the ILOM SNMP:

  1. Log in to the ILOM console.

  2. In the left-hand navigation, select ILOM Administration, then select Notifications. Select a rule that has a disable level and click Edit as shown in Figure 3-1:

    Figure 3-1 Creating a New ILOM Alert Rule

    Surrounding text describes Figure 3-1 .

  3. In the Edit pop-up window, enter the following information:

    • Level: select Minor from the drop-down menu.

    • Type. select SNMP Trap from the drop-down menu.

    • Address: enter the IP address of the host where agent monitoring the ILOM is running.

    • Destination port: enter the agent port number.

    • SNMP Version: select v2c from the drop-down menu.

    • Community: enter public.

    Click Save to save the changes, as shown in Figure 3-2:

    Figure 3-2 ILOM Alert Rule Settings

    Surrounding text describes Figure 3-2 .

3.2 Verify the Compute Node ILOM SNMP

To verify the ILOM SNMP configuration:

  1. Log in to the compute node host as root and run the following command:

    # ipmitool -I lan -H myhost.mycompany.com -U root -P welcome1 -L OPERATOR event PCIE5/PRSNT absent assert

    The results of this command should look like this:

    PCIE5/PRSNT absent assert
Finding sensor PCIE5/PRSNT... ok
   0 | Pre-Init Time-stamp | Entity Presence #0xa7 | Absent | Asserted

  2. Refresh the ILOM target page. An incident should appear in the Incidents section. Once it is verified, clear the incident in Cloud Control.
