The Oracle VM Agent for SPARC can be configured using the Oracle VM Agent for SPARC setup command, ovs-agent-setup. This command checks that the system is properly configured to run the Oracle VM Agent. If the system is not properly configured then the command attempts to fix the configuration. The ovs-agent-setup command is automatically run when installing the Oracle VM Agent.
It is possible to run this command manually to control the configuration of the Oracle VM Agent for SPARC, run the ovs-agent-setup command on the control domain:
# ovs-agent-setup
If the server is not configured with the DefaultFixed network configuration profile, then the network profile configuration menu is displayed.
Network Configuration *** ERROR: The DefaultFixed network profile is not enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Profile Configuration The system must be configured with the DefaultFixed network profile. You can manually configured the DefaultFixed network or you can use this tool to do the configuration. This tool will configure a single network interface, all other network interfaces will be unconfigured. Do you want to use this tool to configure the network? 1) Yes, use this tool to configure the network 2) No, I will configure the network manually Choice (1-2) [1]:
To use the tool to enable the DefaultFixed network configuration profile and configure the network, select 1.
To skip the configuration of the network, select 2. In which case, you must manually enable the DefaultFixed network configuration profile and configure the network.
When configuring the network, if you are not connected to the system console then a warning is displayed.
!!! WARNING !!! You are not connected to the system console. Reconfiguring the network can disrupt your remote connection to the server and you can lose the remote access to the server. !!! WARNING !!! Are you sure that you want to continue? 1) Yes, continue and configure the network 2) No, cancel the configuration of the network Choice (1-2):
To continue the network configuration, select 1.
Configuring the network can disrupt current network connections to the server and you can potentially lose your connection to the server. So it is safer to configure the network from the system console.
To cancel the configuration of the network, select 2. Then connect to the system console, and restart the configuration by running the ovs-agent-setup again.
The Oracle VM Management Interface menu is displayed.
Collecting information about network interfaces... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle VM Management Interface Choose the network interface to use for the management of this machine. 1) net0: 00:14:4f:e3:0f:12 (nxge0) 2) net1: 00:14:4f:e3:0f:13 (nxge1) 3) net2: 00:14:4f:e3:0f:14 (nxge2) 4) net3: 00:14:4f:e3:0f:15 (nxge3) Interface (1-4) [1]:
Select the network interface to use for the management of the server.
The Network Interface Configuration menu is displayed.
IPv4 Configuration for net0 1) Dynamic IP configuration (DHCP) 2) Manual address configuration IPv4 Configuration (1-2) [1]:
To configure the network interface with DHCP, select 1. To configure the network interface with a static IP address, select 2.
If the network interface is to be configured with DHCP, then the Hostname Configuration menu is displayed.
Hostname Configuration If your system is part of a larger network where hostnames are assigned by DHCP, select automatically via DHCP. Otherwise, select manually and enter a hostname for your system. 1) automatically via DHCP 2) manually Hostname Configuration (1-2) [1]:
If the server uses DHCP to assign its hostname, select 1. If the server has its own hostname, select 2. Then, at 'Hostname' prompt, enter the hostname to be used.
The Oracle VM management interface configuration is displayed:
Oracle VM Management Interface Interface: net0 IP Address: DHCP Hostname: DHCP Are these parameters correct? 1) Yes, configure the network with these parameters 2) No, enter new parameters for the network configuration Choice (1-2):
Select 1 to confirm that parameters are correct. The tool then configures the network. Select 2 if you want to enter new parameters, the process to configure the network then restarts from the beginning.
If the network interface is to be configured with a static IP configuration, then the tool requests to enter IP configuration information.
IP Address [192.168.1.10]: Prefix (Netmask) [255.255.255.0]: Gateway [192.168.1.1]: Primary DNS [192.168.168.168]: Secondary DNS [192.168.169.169]: Hostname [foo.example.com]:
The Oracle VM management interface configuration is displayed:
Oracle VM Management Interface Interface: net0 IP Address: 192.168.1.10 Prefix (Netmask): 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Primary DNS: 192.168.168.168 Secondary DNS: 192.168.169.169 Hostname: foo.example.com Are these parameters correct? 1) Yes, configure the network with these parameters 2) No, enter new parameters for the network configuration Choice (1-2):
Select 1 to confirm that parameters are correct. The tool then configures the network. Select 2 if you want to enter new parameters, the process to configure the network then restarts from the beginning.
The setup tool checks if the server is configured with a valid hostname, that is a hostname different from "localhost" and that resolves to an IP address different from 127.0.0.1.
If the hostname of the server is set to localhost, then an error is displayed.
*** ERROR: The server has an invalid hostname (localhost). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Server Hostname The server has no hostname or an invalid hostname. Use the "hostname" command to check and configure the hostname of the server. You might also want to check the network configuration of the server. Press <return> to continue... *** ERROR: The server has an invalid hostname (localhost).
After the setup tool exists, you must use the hostname command to configure the hostname of the server.
If the hostname resolves to the 127.0.0.1 then an error
is displayed and the /etc/hosts
file is updated to not resolve the hostname to
127.0.0.1.
*** ERROR: The server hostname (foo) should not resolve to 127.0.0.1. Configuring /etc/hosts to not resolve foo to 127.0.0.1 Updating /etc/inet/hosts, the previous file is backed up as /etc/inet/hosts.20121128190648
When the setup tool updates the
/etc/hosts file, the orignal
/etc/hosts file is backup as
/etc/inet/hosts.<date-and-time>.
If the hostname does not resolve to an IP address then an error is displayed.
*** ERROR: The server hostname (foo) does not resolve to an IP address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Server IP Address The server hostname does not resolve to an IP address. hostname: foo Update the /etc/hosts file or the name service so that the hostname of the server is resolved to a valid IP address. You might also want to check the network configuration of the server. Press <return> to continue... *** ERROR: The server hostname (fooxxx) does not resolve to an IP address.
After the setup tool exits, you must update the
/etc/hosts file or your name
service so that the hostname resolves to a valid IP
address. For more information about naming services, see

If the Oracle VM Agent password is not defined then the Oracle VM Agent password menu is displayed.
*** ERROR: The Oracle VM agent password is not defined. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle VM Agent password Enter a password for the Oracle VM agent (ovs-agent) This password is used in Oracle VM manager to manage and monitor this server and its guest VMs. You must type it twice to ensure you know what it is and didn't make a mistake in typing. Password: Password (confirm):
Enter a password to be used for the Oracle VM Agent. This password is used by Oracle VM Manager to manage and monitor the Oracle VM Server for SPARC, and the guests created and running within it. This is the password you use when discovering Oracle VM Servers in Oracle VM Manager.
Then re-enter the password.
The password characters are not echoed to the screen. If the two passwords do not match, the tool prompts you to enter them again.
The setup tool checks if the LDoms Manager is correctly configured.
If the LDoms Manager is not correctly configured then its configuration is automatically updated.

The setup tools checks if the LDoms configuration is correct.
If the LDoms configuration is not correct then it is automatically updated and saved on the Service Processor.
