Use SSH to Access Pilot (For PS-0 Replacement)

Use secure shell (SSH) to access the Pilot on which power supply 0 (PS-0) is being replaced to verify that the Product Serial Number Containers (PSNCs) of the quorum devices are synchronized.

Note: This procedure applies only to the replacement of power supply 0 (PS-0).
Note: If replacing power supply 0 (PS-0), confirm that the PSNCs of the quorum devices are synchronized with the Pilot. The PSNC of at least two quorum devices must be synchronized, otherwise the Pilot will not boot. Do not replace the quorum devices, if the PSNCs are not synchronized.
  1. Enable SSH to access the Pilot using the following fscli command:
    # fscli system -modify enablessh 30
  2. Use PuTTY or similar software to log in to the Pilot on which PS-0 must be replaced.
    # ssh <IP address>
    Where, the IP address refers to the Pilot with the failed PS–0.
  3. Access the Pilot ILOM port using SSH.
    [root@pilot2 ~]# ssh 169.254.2.5
    Password: changeme
    Note: To access the buddy Pilot ILOM, use the IP address: 169.254.2.9.
    Note: The default password is changeme and the IP address 169.254.2.5 connects to the local Pilot ILOM.
  4. Enter restricted session mode and run the showpsnc command.
    set SESSION mode=restricted
    [(restricted_shell) ORACLESP-1307FML0VY:~]# showpsnc
    Note: The Restricted Shell account is provided to allow services to perform diagnostic tasks.

    Note:
    • If all three PSNCs match, exit and proceed to prepare the system for the replacement procedure.

    • If the disk backplane 0 (DBP–0) and the motherboard (MB) have the same PSNC, but the power supply 0 (PS–0) has a different PSNC, proceed to prepare system for the replacement procedure.

    • If any other condition exists, contact Oracle Customer Support before proceeding to replace the failed power supply (PS-0).

  5. Type exit twice to terminate the ssh sessions.
