Verify Configuration Tool Installation

  1. Log in to the first Database Domain to contain zones.
  2. Download the latest Oracle OneCommand utility.
    1. Locate the My Oracle Support note that provides information on the latest version of the patch with the Oracle OneCommand utility.

      Refer to the following My Oracle Support note and locate the Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) section in this note:

      https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=888828.1

    2. Select the most recent patch from the table.

      Caution

      Caution - You must download patch 19766190 or later.


      Typically, the most recent patch is shown at the top of the table, and will have a higher number than other patches. For example, Patch 19766190 would be a more recent version of the patch than Patch 19571935.

    3. Select the appropriate option from the Platform or Language field for the operating system on the machine that you are using for OEDA and Java OneCommand.

      The options are:

      • Apple Mac OS X (Intel) (64-bit)

      • Microsoft Windows (32-bit)

      • Linux x86-64

      • Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)

      • Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)

    4. Click the Download button to download the patch.
    5. Unzip the patch file.

      Several files become available.

  3. Change directories to the /opt/oracle.supercluster directory.
    # cd /opt/oracle.supercluster
  4. Verify that the necessary tools and scripts are available in the bin and zonetools subdirectories.
    • To verify the tools and scripts are in the bin subdirectory, type.

      # ls bin

      You should see the following tools and scripts:

      • addvnet-wrapper.sh

      • addvnet.sh

      • applyconfig_ssc.sh

      • dcli

      • gen_cellaffinity_ssc.sh

      • ib_set_node_desc_ssc.sh

      • iscsi-lun.sh

      • iscsi-zpool.sh

      • m6_bonds_ssc.sh

      • rmvnet.sh

      • setcoremem

      • setup_ssh_eq.sh

      • zonemanifest.sh

    • To verify that the tools and scripts are in the zonetools subdirectory, type.

      # ls zonetools

      Verify that you have the ssc_exavm script in the zonetools directory.

  5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for all other Database Domains to contain zones.
  6. Use the OEDA to create the configuration files to be used by the exavmgen tool and the OneCommand utility later on in this process.

    Go to Preparing to Configure Zones on Database Domains.
