6 Returning Oracle Database Appliance to Operation

This chapter describes how to return Oracle Database Appliance to operation after you have performed service procedures. It includes:

Returning Oracle Database Appliance X6-2 Series to Operation

This section describes returning Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S/X6-2M/X6-2L or X6-2-HA to operation after servicing. If you have Oracle Database Appliance X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, or Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 to Operation. If you have Oracle Database Appliance Version 1, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance Version 1 to Operation.

Powering On an Oracle Database Appliance That Includes a Storage Shelf

This section describes how to restore power after servicing an Oracle Database Appliance that includes at least one storage shelf (DE2-24P, DE2-24C, or DE3-24C). If you have an Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S/X6-2M/X6-2L or Oracle Database Appliance Version 1, your system does not support a storage shelf and you should skip this section.

If you haven't already, return the Oracle Database Appliance to operational status. If you have Oracle Database Appliance X6-2-HA, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X6-2 Series to Operation. If you have Oracle Database X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, or Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 to Operation.

When powering on the system, each server node is powered on separately.

Power On Procedure

Perform the following procedure to power on the Oracle Database Appliance.

If you powered off and disconnected the power cords from a storage shelf (and storage expansion shelf if one is present), reconnect the power cords now.
Power on the storage shelf (and storage expansion shelf if one is present) by switching the power supply On/Off button on each power supply to the On position.
The disks begin to initialize and the power supply LEDs light green. This can take several minutes.

Note:
Do not power on the server nodes until the disks on the storage shelf and storage expansion shelf have initialized.
If you powered off a server node, reconnect any unplugged power cords.
Power on a server node on using one of the following methods:
- Press the recessed Power button on the server node front panel.
- Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Power Control, and select Power On from the Select Action list box.
- Log in to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI), and type the following command at the Oracle ILOM CLI prompt.
  
  -> start /SYS
When the server is powered on and the power-on self-test (POST) code checkpoint tests have completed, the green Power/OK status indicator on the server node front panel lights and remains lit.

Note:
If you powered off both server nodes prior to servicing, repeat steps 3 and 4 to power on the second server node.
Refer to other Oracle Database Appliance documentation for any instructions or commands required to return the appliance to service.
Refer to the appropriate Deployment and User's Guide for the Oracle Database Appliance X6 series or the Administration and Reference Guide for the Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 or Version 1.

Returning Oracle Database Appliance Version 1 to Operation

This section describes returning Oracle Database Appliance Version 1 to operation after servicing. If you have Oracle Database Appliance X6-2 series, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X6-2 Series to Operation. If you have Oracle Database Appliance X3-2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, or Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, go to Returning Oracle Database Appliance X3-2/X4-2/X5-2 to Operation.
