Note:
You must have the Installation Template to complete these procedures. It identifies the IP addresses and names of the servers and switches required by the manual configuration steps.
Oracle recommends that an Oracle field engineer performs the configuration steps described in this chapter.
A KVM switch is provided only in Oracle Big Data Appliance racks with Sun Fire X4270 M2 servers. Oracle Big Data Appliance X3-2 does not have a KVM switch.
The KVM configuration consists of these procedures:
Ensure that all connected components are powered off.
Pull the KVM tray out from the front of the rack, and open it using the handle.
Touch the touch pad.
Toggle between the host and KVM interface by pressing the Ctrl key on the left side twice, similar to double-clicking with a mouse. You see the main user interface page.
In the navigator on the left, select Target Devices under Unit View. In the main display area, verify that 18 target devices are listed with Action set to KVM Session.
The sessions are numbered from the bottom of the rack to the top.
If 18 sessions are not shown:
In the navigator under Appliances, expand Ports, and then select IQ Adaptors.
In the main display area, choose the Port table heading to sort the sessions by port number.
Note any missing sessions, so that you can fix them later.
In the navigator, choose Target Devices to return to the Target Devices page.
To connect the KVM switch to the management network:
In the navigator under User Accounts, select Local.
Under Users, choose Admin.
Set the password for the Admin account to welcome1
, and then choose Save. Do not modify any other parameters.
Under Appliance Settings, expand Network, and then choose IPv4. The Network Information page appears.
Enter values for Address, Subnet, and Gateway, and then choose Save.
Under Appliance Settings, choose DNS to display the DNS Information page.
Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers, and then choose Save.
Under Network, choose General to display the Appliance General Network Settings page.
Connect the KVM LAN1 Ethernet port to the management network.
To verify that the port has been configured correctly, ensure that the Media Access Control (MAC) address on the Network Settings page matches the label next to the LAN1/LAN2 ports at the rear of the KVM switch.
Under Users, select Overview to display the Unit Maintenance page.
To restart the KVM switch, choose Reboot under Overview and Yes to confirm.
You may need to upgrade the KVM firmware to the recommended version.
To check the KVM firmware version:
In the navigator under Appliance Settings, select Versions. There are two version numbers, Application and Boot. Compare the displayed versions with these recommended versions:
Application: 1.10.2.17762
Boot: 1.9.16473
If the application firmware version is earlier than 1.10.2, then you should upgrade it. To upgrade the firmware, continue with this procedure. Otherwise, you are done.
Download the firmware from this website to a USB flash drive:
Plug the flash drive into the KVM USB port and open a browser session.
Log in to the KVM as Admin
with password welcome1
.
Under Appliance, select Overview.
From the Tools list, select Upgrade Firmware.
Select the connection method, such as FTP or HTTP.
Enter the file name of the downloaded firmware.
Click Upgrade.
The upgrade process takes 5 to10 minutes, including an automatic restart.
Confirm the firmware version by selecting Versions under Appliance Settings.
To configure the KVM switch to access the servers:
Under Unit View, select Target Devices to display the Target Devices page.
Start up the server. The power button is on the front panel.
Click the server name in the Name column to display the Unit Overview page.
Click Overview and overwrite the name with the Oracle standard naming format of customer prefix, node type, and number. For example, bda1node03
identifies the third server from the bottom of the bda1 rack.
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each server in the rack. Each server boots through BIOS, and boots the operating system with the default factory IP configuration.
The Cisco Catalyst 4948 Ethernet switch supplied with Oracle Big Data Appliance is minimally configured during installation. These procedures configure the Cisco Ethernet switch into one large virtual LAN.
The Cisco Ethernet switch configuration consists of these topics and procedures:
This configuration disables IP routing and sets the following:
Host name
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Domain name
Name server
NTP server
Time
Time zone
To avoid disrupting the customer network, observe these prerequisites:
Do not connect the Cisco Ethernet switch until the network administrator has verified the running configuration and made any necessary changes.
Do not connect the Cisco Ethernet switch to the customer network until the IP addresses on all components have been configured in Oracle Big Data Appliance. This sequence prevents any duplicate IP address conflicts, which are possible due to the default addresses set in the components when shipped.
Configure the Cisco Ethernet switch with the network administrator.
To configure the Ethernet switch on the customer network:
Connect a serial cable from the Cisco switch console to a laptop or similar device. An RJ45 to DB9 serial cable is included with the Cisco documentation package.
Ensure that the terminal session is recorded on the laptop by logging the output. You can use the output as a record that the switch has been configured correctly. The default serial port speed is 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no handshake.
Switch con0 is now available Press RETURN to get started.
Change to enable
mode using the following command. The default password is welcome1
.
Switch> enable
Password:
Configure the network for a single VLAN. The following is an example of the configuration:
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if)# ip address 10.7.7.34 255.255.255.0 Switch(config-if)# end Switch# *Jan 23 15:54:00.506: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console Switch# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 2474 bytes to 1066 bytes [OK ]
If the network does not require IP routing on the switch, and then disable the default IP routing setting and configure the default gateway. This method is preferred. Consult the network administrator if in doubt.
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# no ip routing Switch(config)# ip default-gateway 10.17.7.1 Switch(config)# end *Jan 23 15:54:00.506: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console Switch# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3600 bytes to 1305 bytes[OK]]
If the network requires IP routing on the switch, and then keep the default IP routing setting and configure the default gateway as follows:
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.7.7.1 Switch(config)# end *Jan 23 15:55:02.506: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console Switch# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 2502 bytes to 1085 bytes [OK ]
Set the host name of the switch using the standard Oracle Big Data Appliance naming convention of rack_name
sw-ip
. This example uses the name bda1sw-ip.
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# hostname bda1sw-ip bda1sw-ip(config)# end *Jan 23 15:57:50.886: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console bda1sw-ip# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3604 bytes to 1308 bytes[OK] bda1sw-ip#
The system host name appears in the prompt.
Oracle Big Data Appliance ships with a version of the Cisco Ethernet switch software that supports both telnet and SSH. Telnet access is optional. The following procedure describes how to enable and disable remote telnet access.
To set up telnet access to the Ethernet switch:
Set the password for telnet access if necessary; it should already be set when you receive Oracle Big Data Appliance.
bda1sw-ip # configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# enable password welcome1 bda1sw-ip(config)# enable secret welcome1 The enable secret you have chosen is the same as your enable password. This is not recommended. Re-enter the enable secret. bda1sw-ip(config)# end bda1sw-ip# write memory *Jan 23 15:57:50.886: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 2502 bytes to 1085 bytes [OK ]
Set up telnet access. In this example, the first login
output shows that the password is not set and telnet access is disabled. If the login
command returns nothing, then the password is set and telnet access is available.
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# line vty 0 15 bda1sw-ip(config-line)# login %Login disabled on line 1,until 'password' is set %Login disabled on line 2,until 'password' is set %Login disabled on line 3,until 'password' is set ... bda1sw-ip(config-line)# password welcome1 bda1sw-ip(config-line)# login bda1sw-ip(config-line)# end bda1sw-ip# write memory *Jan 23 15:58:53.630: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3604 bytes to 1308 bytes[OK]
To disable telnet access and prevent remote access, follow this example:
Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# line vty 0 15 bda1sw-ip(config-line)# no password bda1sw-ip(config-line)# login %Login disabled on line 1, until 'password' is set %Login disabled on line 2, until 'password' is set %Login disabled on line 3, until 'password' is set ... bda1sw-ip(config-line)# end bda1sw-ip# write memory *Jan 23 15:58:53.630: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3604 bytes to 1308 bytes[OK]
The current firmware supports remote connections using SSH. To set up SSH on the Cisco switch, follow this example:
bda1sw-ip# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)#crypto key generate rsa % You already have RSA keys defined named bda1sw-ip.mydomain.com. % Do you really want to replace them? [yes/no]: yes Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes.

Compressed configuration from 2603 bytes to 1158 bytes[OK]
Configure up to three Domain Name System (DNS) servers, replacing the values shown here with valid ones for the site:
bda1sw-ip# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# ip domain-name us.example.com bda1sw-ip(config)# ip name-server 10.7.7.3 bda1sw-ip(config)# ip name-server 172.28.5.5 bda1sw-ip(config)# ip name-server 10.8.160.1 bda1sw-ip(config)# end *Jan 23 16:01:35.010: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console bda1sw-ip# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3662 bytes to 1348 bytes[OK]
The Cisco Ethernet switch keeps internal time in coordinated universal time (UTC) format.
To set the local time and time zone, ordering is important. The following is an example of setting the local time to the U.S. Eastern time zone:
bda1sw-ip# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# clock timezone EST -5 bda1sw-ip(config)# clock summer-time EDT recurring bda1sw-ip(config)# end bda1sw-ip# clock set 15:00:00 January 23 2012 bda1sw-ip# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3778 bytes to 1433 bytes[OK] bda1sw-ip# show clock 15:00:18.819 EST Mon Jan 23 2012
Following are descriptions of the commands for setting the clock and time zone:
To use UTC, enter this command:
no clock timezone global configuration
To use a time zone:
clock timezone zone hours-offset [minutes-offset]
In this command, zone is the time zone to display when standard time is in effect, hours-offset is the hours offset from UTC, and minutes-offset is the minutes offset from UTC.
clock summer-time zone recurring [week day month hh:mm week day month \ hh:mm [offset]]
In this command, zone is the time zone to be displayed when summer time (daylight savings time) is in effect, week is the week of the month (1 to 5 or last), day is the day of the week, month is the month, hh:mm is the time in 24-hour format, and offset is the number of minutes to add during summer time. The default offset is 60 minutes.
To manually set the clock to any time:
clock set hh:mm:ss month day year
In this command, hh:mm:ss is the hour, month, and second in 24-hour format, day is the day of the month, month is the month, and year is the year. The time specified is relative to the configured time zone.

Configure up to two NTP servers. The following example shows the NTP server synchronized to local time when the Cisco switch is connected to the network and has access to NTP.
bda1sw-ip# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. bda1sw-ip(config)# ntp server 10.196.23.254 prefer bda1sw-ip(config)# ntp server 192.168.9.19 bda1sw-ip(config)# end Jan 23 20:00:41.235: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console bda1sw-ip# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 3870 bytes to 1487 bytes [OK ] bda1sw-ip# show ntp status output varies by network bda1sw-ip# show clock 15:00:57.919 EST Mon Jan 23 2012
Ask the network administrator whether the network requires the spanning tree to be enabled before connecting the Cisco Ethernet switch.
The spanning tree is enabled by default on switch-to-switch uplink port 48. If this is correct, then you can skip this procedure.
To disable the spanning tree:
If the port must be disabled, then enter these commands:
bda1sw-ip# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# no spanning-tree vlan 1 Switch(config)# end Jan 23 20:01:15.083: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console bda1sw-ip# write memory Building configuration... Compressed configuration from 2654 bytes to 1163 bytes[OK]
To verify the disabling of the spanning tree:
bda1sw-ip# show spanning-tree vlan 1
Spanning tree instance(s) for vlan 1 does not exist.
To verify the Cisco Ethernet switch configuration:
Verify the configuration by entering the following command:
bda1sw-ip# show running-config
The following is an example of the output:
Building configuration... Current configuration :2654 bytes ! version 12.2 no service pad service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec no service password-encryption service compress-config . . .
If any setting is incorrect, then repeat the appropriate step. To erase a setting, enter no
in front of the same command. For example, to erase the default gateway, enter these commands:
bda1sw-ip# no ip default-gateway 10.7.7.1 bda1sw-ip# end bda1sw-ip# write memory
Save the current configuration by entering this command:
bda1sw-ip# copy running-config startup-config
Exit from the session with this command:
bda1sw-ip#exit
bda1sw-ip con0 is now available
Disconnect the cable from the Cisco console.
To check the configuration, attach a laptop to port 48 and ping the IP address of the internal management network.
Caution:
Do not connect the Cisco Ethernet switch to the management network until after the system is configured with the customer's IP addresses and the switch configuration is complete.Oracle Big Data Appliance has two Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway leaf switches and one Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 spine switch. To configure the switches, follow these procedures for each one:
To configure an InfiniBand switch:
Connect to the switch using a serial or an Ethernet connection.
For an Ethernet connection to 192.168.1.201
, 192.168.1.202,
or 192.168.1.203
, see "Connecting to Oracle ILOM Using the Network".
For a serial connection, see "Connecting to Oracle ILOM Using a Serial Connection".
Log in as ilom-admin

To set the time zone on an InfiniBand switch:
Check the current time setting:
-> show /SP/clock
If the setting is not accurate, continue with these steps.
Set the time zone, replacing zone_identifier with the time zone in the Configuration Template, such as America/New_York
:
-> set /SP/clock timezone=zone_identifier
Check the current time setting:
-> show /SP/clock
If the setting is not accurate, continue with these steps.
Set the SP clock manually, replacing MMDDHHmmCCyy with the month, day, hour, minute, century, and year.
-> set datetime=MMddHHmmCCyy
Check the current time setting:
-> show /SP/clock
Configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP), replacing ip_address with the server address. Server 1 is the primary NTP server and Server 2 is the secondary server.
-> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 address=ip_address -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 address=ip_address
Enable the NTP servers:
-> set /SP/clock usentpserver=enabled
Verify the settings:
-> show /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 -> show /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 -> show /SP/clock
To check the health of an InfiniBand leaf or spine switch:

Verify a priority setting of 5 for the InfiniBand Gateway leaf switches or 8 for the InfiniBand Switch 36 spine switch:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> setsmpriority list
Current SM settings:
smpriority 5
controlled_handover TRUE
subnet_prefix 0xfe80000000000000
If smpriority
is correct, then you can skip the next step.
To correct the priority setting:
Stop the InfiniBand Subnet Manager:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> disablesm
Set the priority to 5 for the InfiniBand Gateway leaf switches or 8 for the InfiniBand Switch 36 spine switch. This example is for a leaf switch:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> setsmpriority 5
Restart the InfiniBand Subnet Manager:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> enablesm
If you are connecting this Oracle Big Data Appliance rack to an Oracle Exadata Database Machine or an Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud rack:
Verify that the Exadata InfiniBand switches and the Exalogic spine switch are running firmware version 1.3.3_2 or later.
Ensure that the subnet manager runs only on the switches with the highest firmware version.
On systems running earlier firmware versions, disable the subnet manager. Log in to the switch as root
and run the disablesm
command as described previously.
For example, if Oracle Big Data Appliance has the highest firmware version, then make its spine switch the master and its gateway switches the failover. Then, on the other engineered system, disable the subnet manager on any InfiniBand switch that has a lower firmware version than the version on Oracle Big Data Appliance.
Exit the Fabric Management shell:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> exit
->
Exit the Oracle ILOM shell:
-> exit
Log in to the switch as root
and restart it to ensure that all changes take effect:
reboot
Repeat these steps for the other InfiniBand switches.
The power distribution unit (PDU) configuration consists of these procedures:
The power distribution units (PDUs) are configured with a static IP address to connect to the network for monitoring. Ensure that you have the following network information before connecting the PDUs:
Static IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
To connect the PDUs to the network:
Use a web browser to access the PDU metering unit by entering the factory default IP address for the unit. The address of PDU A is 192.168.1.210
, and the address of PDU B is 192.168.1.211
.
The Current Measurement page opens. If the PDUs do not respond, then reset them:
Press and hold the red RESET button.
When the display starts to count down in about 10 to 15 seconds, release the button and then press it again without holding it down.
When the monitor is restarting, note the current IP setting, and whether it is a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) or static address.
Use the default login name and password of admin
/admin
.
Click Net Configuration in the upper left of the page.
Log in as the admin
user on the PDU metering unit. The default password is admin
. Change this password after configuring the network.
Confirm that the DHCP Enabled option is not selected.
Enter the following network settings for the PDU metering unit:
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Click Submit to set the network settings and reset the PDU metering unit.

Table 7-4 lists the threshold values for the Oracle Big Data Appliance rack using a three-phase, high-voltage PDU.
Before configuring the network, ensure that the Oracle Big Data Appliance servers are set up correctly.
Note:
If you must connect to the Oracle ILOM serial management port, then the baud rate setting on the servers changes from the default Oracle ILOM setting of 9600 to 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.To check the Oracle Big Data Appliance servers:
Power on all servers by pressing the power button on the front panel of each server. The servers take 5 to 10 minutes to run through the normal startup tests.
Use a laptop to connect to a server:
Open an SSH connection using PuTTY or a similar utility.
Enter the default IP address of the server.
Log in as the root
user to the first server. The password is welcome1
.
Verify that the /opt/oracle/bda/rack-hosts-infiniband file exists. If not, create the file with the default IP addresses listed one per line. All dcli
commands are sent by default to the servers listed in this file. See "Factory Network Settings".
Set up passwordless SSH for root
by entering the setup-root-ssh
command, as described in "Setting Up Passwordless SSH".
Verify that SSH keys are distributed across the rack:
dcli "hostname ; date"
If prompted for a password, enter Ctrl+C several times. This prompt confirms distribution of the keys, so that you can continue to the next step. Otherwise, generate the root SSH keys across the rack, replacing password with a valid password:
setup-root-ssh -p password
Enter the dcli
command in Step 6 again to verify the keys.
Verify that the InfiniBand ports are up, two on each server (36 total).
# dcli ibstatus | grep phys 192.168.10.1: phys state: 5: LinkUp 192.168.10.1: phys state: 5: LinkUp .. 192.168.10.18: phys state: 5: LinkUp 192.168.10.18: phys state: 5: LinkUp
Verify that the InfiniBand ports are running at 40 Gbps (4X QDR):
# dcli ibstatus | grep rate 192.168.10.1: rate: 40 Gb/sec (4X QDR) 192.168.10.1: rate: 40 Gb/sec (4X QDR) .. 192.168.10.18: rate: 40 Gb/sec (4X QDR) 192.168.10.18: rate: 40 Gb/sec (4X QDR)
Verify that Oracle ILOM does not detect any faults:
# dcli 'ipmitool sunoem cli "show faulty"'
The output should appear as follows for each server:
bda1node02-adm.example.com: Connected. Use ^D to exit. bda1node02-adm.example.com: -> show faulty bda1node02-adm.example.com: Target | Property | Value bda1node02-adm.example.com:-------------+---------------------+----------- bda1node02-adm.example.com: bda1node02-adm.example.com: -> Session closed bda1node02-adm.example.com: Disconnected
Save the hardware profile output from each system in a file for review, replacing filename with a file name of your choice:
# dcli bdacheckhw > filename
Check the hardware profile output file using commands like the following. In these example, the file name is all-bdahwcheck.out.
To verify that there are no failures in the hardware profile:
grep -v SUCCESS ~/all-bdahwcheck.out
To verify 24 cores:
grep cores ~/all-bdahwcheck.out
To verify 48 GB of memory:
grep memory ~/all-bdahwcheck.out
To verify six fans:
grep fans ~/all-bdahwcheck.out
To verify that the status is OK for both power supplies:
grep supply ~/all-bdahwcheck.out
To verify that disks 0 to 11 are all the same model, online, spun up, and no alert:
grep disk ~/all-bdahwcheck.out | grep "model\|status" | more
To verify that the host channel adapter model is Mellanox Technologies MT26428 ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0:
grep Host ~/all-bdahwcheck.out | grep model
Save the RAID configuration in a file, replacing filename with a file name of your choice:
dcli MegaCli64 -ldinfo -lall -a0 | grep "Virtual Drive\|State" > filename
Verify that 12 virtual drives (0 to 11) are listed for each server. In this example, the RAID configuration is stored in a file named all-ldstate.out.
less ~/all-ldstate.out
Save the software profile output from each system into a file for review, replacing filename with a file name of your choice:
dcli bdachecksw > filename
Verify that the partition setup and software versions are correct. In this example, the software profile is stored in a file named all-bdaswcheck.out.
less ~/all-bdaswcheck.out
Verify the system boots in this order: USB, RAID Slot 0, PXE:
dcli 'biosconfig -get_boot_order' | grep DEV | more <BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY> <DEVICE_NAME>USB:02.82;01 Unigen PSA4000</DEVICE_NAME> <DEVICE_NAME>RAID:Slot0.F0:(Bus 13 Dev 00)PCI RAID Adapter</DEVICE_NAME> <DEVICE_NAME>PXE:IBA GE Slot 0100 v1331</DEVICE_NAME> <DEVICE_NAME>PXE:IBA GE Slot 0101 v1331</DEVICE_NAME> <DEVICE_NAME>PXE:IBA GE Slot 0700 v1331</DEVICE_NAME> <DEVICE_NAME>PXE:IBA GE Slot 0701 v1331</DEVICE_NAME> </BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY>
The Oracle Big Data Appliance Configuration Utility generates the BdaDeploy.json file, which is used to configure the administrative network and the private InfiniBand network. See "Generating the Configuration Files" if you do not have this file.
The network configuration consists of these procedures:
To verify that the factory software image is installed correctly and the servers are operating correctly, check that the BDA_IMAGING_SUCCEEDED and BDA_REBOOT_SUCCEEDED files are in the /root directory of each server. If you see a BDA_IMAGING_FAILED or BDA_REBOOT_FAILED file in the output, then check the /root/bda_imaging_status file on that server for more information. Do not proceed with network configuration until all problems are resolved.
The dcli
utility requires passwordless SSH for root, as described in "Setting Up Passwordless SSH".
# dcli ls -1 /root | grep BDA IP address BDA_IMAGING_SUCCEEDED IP address BDA_REBOOT_SUCCEEDED . . .
You can also confirm the image version:
# dcli imageinfo

To copy the configuration files to Oracle Big Data Appliance:
Use a laptop or the KVM switch to open a console session to the first server. The first server is the lowest server in the rack. See Figure D-1.
Log in as the root
user on the first server. The initial password is welcome1
.
Plug the USB drive into the USB port of the first server. The port is on the right front of the server. Information like the following is displayed on the console:
# scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access CBM USB 2.0 Q: 0 ANSI:2 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg14 type 0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] 7954432 512-byte logical blocks: (4.07 GB/3.79 GiB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 0:0:0:0: [sdn] Attached SCSI removable disk
Enter the showusb
command to locate the USB drive. The command returns with the mapped device or, if no USB drive is connected, with no output.
# showusb /dev/sdn1
Create a directory on the server:
# mkdir /mnt/usb
Mount the device using the device name given in Step 5. The following is an example of the command.
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdn1 /mnt/usb
Verify the location of the file on the USB flash drive:
# ls /mnt/usb BdaDeploy.json bin boot . . .
Copy BdaDeploy.json or BdaExpansion.json from the USB flash drive to the /opt/oracle/bda directory on the server:
# cd /mnt/usb # cp BdaDeploy.json /opt/oracle/bda
Note:
If mammoth-rack_name.params is also on the drive, you can copy it to /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth for use in Chapter 9.Dismount the USB flash drive and remove the device:
# umount /mnt/usb # rmdir /mnt/usb
Remove the USB flash drive from the server.
The networksetup-one
script sets up the host names and Oracle ILOM names for all servers and configures the administrative network and the private InfiniBand network. The procedure varies slightly depending on whether you are configuring a new rack—either a full rack or a starter rack—or configuring one or two expansion kits.
To start the network configuration on a new rack:
Log in as the root
user on the first server. The initial password is welcome1
. For example:
# ssh root@192.168.10.1
For a new rack, verify that /opt/oracle/bda contains the new BdaDeploy.json file.
For one or two expansion kits, verify that /opt/oracle/bda contains both BdaDeploy.json from an existing node and the new BdaExpansion.json file.
Begin the network configuration:
# cd /opt/oracle/bda/network # ./networksetup-one
To add one or two expansion kits to a rack:
Disconnect the Cisco Ethernet switch from the data center administrative network.
Power on all servers.
Connect a laptop to the Cisco Ethernet switch.
Log in as the root
user on the first new server (node07 or node13) using its default eth0 IP address. For example:
# ssh root@192.168.10.13
Verify that /opt/oracle/bda contains both BdaDeploy.json from an existing node and the new BdaExpansion.json file.
Begin the network configuration:
# cd /opt/oracle/bda/network # ./networksetup-one
Example 7-1 shows sample output from the networksetup-one
script.

Before completing the network configuration, you must connect the administrative and client networks to the data center.
To connect Oracle Big Data Appliance to the network:
Connect the 1 GbE administrative network by connecting the Cisco Ethernet switch to the data center.
Connect the 10 GbE client network by connecting the two Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway leaf switches to the data center.
After the cables are routed, the network administrator may need to alter the network switch end configuration to recognize the links.
Use SSH to connect to a Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway switch, and log in as the ilom-admin
user.
Enter the Fabric Management shell:
-> show /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt
Ensure that the Bridge entries have active links from the leaf switches to the customer network switch:
FabMan@bda1sw-ib2-> listlinkup
This output shows four ports connected to each switch:
Connector 0A-ETH Present Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-1 (Bridge-0-2) up (Enabled) Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-2 (Bridge-0-2) down (Enabled) Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-3 (Bridge-0-1) up (Enabled) Bridge-0 Port 0A-ETH-4 (Bridge-0-1) down (Enabled) Connector 1A-ETH Present Bridge-1 Port 1A-ETH-1 (Bridge-1-2) up (Enabled) Bridge-1 Port 1A-ETH-2 (Bridge-1-2) down (Enabled) Bridge-1 Port 1A-ETH-3 (Bridge-1-1) up (Enabled) Bridge-1 Port 1A-ETH-4 (Bridge-1-1) down (Enabled)
The networksetup-two
script completes some steps started by networksetup-one
that require a network connection. It also configures the default VLAN and all required VNICs for the 10 GbE client network. It then verifies all network connections and displays a message if it discovers any unexpected ones, including those caused by cabling mistakes.
The 10 GbE ports of the Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway switches must be connected to the data center.
To complete the network configuration:
Ensure that both the administrative network and the client network are connected to Oracle Big Data Appliance.
Note:
This procedure fails if the networks are not connected. See "Connecting to the Network".Run the following script to complete the network setup:
./networksetup-two
Example 7-2 shows sample output from the script.
