Create an osc-config-backup.conf File Manually

Perform this task only if you are unable to run the osc-config-backup step called Setup SSC-BKP setenv script(see Step 1 – Discover SuperCluster configuration).

  1. Use an editor to create a file called osc-config-backup.conf in the /opt/oracle.supercluster/osc-config-backup/conf directory.
  2. Using this table and example, create environment variables in the file using this syntax:

    export Variable=value;

    Variable
    Value
    BKP_INSTALL1
    Primary domain where you are running osc-config-backup, which is the first compute node domain.
    BKP_IB_NET_IP
    Network address of the ZFS storage appliance IB network.
    BKP_IB_NET_MASK
    Netmask for the ZFS storage appliance IB network.
    BKP_IB_NET_CIDR
    Netmask CIDR of the ZFS storage appliance IB network.
    BKP_CNAMES
    Exadata cell host names.
    BKP_NODES
    Space-separated list of all domains in SuperCluster.
    BKP_SP
    Compute node service processor.
    BKP_ZFSHEAD1
    Management hostname of the first ZFS storage appliance controller.
    BKP_ZFSHEAD2
    Management hostname of the second ZFS storage appliance controller.
    BKP_ZFSHEAD_SP
    ZFS storage appliance service processor.
    BKP_ZFSMOUNT
    Host name of the ZFS storage appliance (available from /etc/hosts on all nodes).
    SSC_BKP_TOOLS_HOME
    Always set to /opt/oracle.supercluster/osc-config-backup.
    BKP_MANSW
    Host name of the Ethernet management switch.
    BKP_MANSWREPLACED
    If the management switch has been replaced (yes/no).
    BKP_IB1
    Host name of the spine IB switch.
    BKP_IB2
    Host name of the leaf 1 IB switch.
    BKP_IB3
    Host name of the leaf 2 IB switch.
  3. When the osc-config-backup.conf file is complete, edit the /opt/oracle.supercluster/osc-config-backup/conf/state.conf file.

    Add this line, and save the file:

    State: discovery-complete
  4. Run osc-config-backup -s 2 to back up the components.
