Changing the ODA_BASE Core Count

After you have performed the pre-requisites described previously, complete these steps to change the ODA_BASE core count.

  1. Log in to Dom0 and run the oakcli configure oda_base command as shown in this example, which changes the CPU core count from six to eight in ODA_BASE:
    # oakcli configure oda_base
    Core Licensing Options:
            1. 2 CPU Cores
            2. 4 CPU Cores
            3. 6 CPU Cores
            4. 8 CPU Cores
            5. 10 CPU Cores
            6. 12 CPU Cores
            Current CPU Cores       :6
            Selection[1 : 6](default 12 CPU Cores) : 10
            ODA base domain memory in GB(min 8, max 88)(Current Memory 64G)[default
    32]     :
    INFO: Using default memory size i.e. 32 GB
    Additional vlan networks to be assigned to oda_base? (y/n) [n]:
    Vlan network to be removed from oda_base (y/n) [n]
    INFO: Node 0:Configured oda base pool
    INFO: Node 1:Configured oda base pool
    INFO: Node 0:ODA Base configured with new memory
    INFO: Node 0:ODA Base configured with new vcpus
    INFO: Changes will be incorporated after the domain is restarted on Node 0
    INFO: Node 1:ODA Base configured with new memory
    INFO: Node 1:ODA Base configured with new vcpus
    INFO: Changes will be incorporated after the domain is restarted on Node 1
    
  2. Perform any actions listed in the output from the command. Not all versions of the software, such as the one shown in the preceding example, require any additional actions before restarting ODA_BASE.
  3. Restart the domain to implement the changed configuration for ODA_BASE by running the following restart command on Dom0 of both nodes:
    oakcli restart oda_base
