DCS-10001: Fail to run GI configtools

When deploying the appliance with VLAN, the GI configtools fail to run.

Hardware Models

Oracle Database Appliance X7-2S, X7-2M, and X7-2-HA

Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L

Workaround

Run cleanup. If the system is X7-2-HA, run the cleanup on both nodes. The script will reboot the nodes.
```
#/opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/cleanup.pl
```
Create (deploy) the appliance without the DNS server.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 27597126.

DCS-10045:Validation error encountered: Error retrieving the cpucores

When deploying the appliance, DCS-10045 error appears. There is an error retrieving the CPU cores of the second node.

Hardware Models

Oracle Database Appliance X7-2-HA

Workaround

Remove the following directory in Node0: /opt/oracle/dcs/repo/node_0
Remove the following directory in Node1: /opt/oracle/dcs/repo/node_1

Restart the dcs-agent on both nodes.

cd /opt/oracle/dcs/bin
initctl stop initdcsagent
initctl start initdcsagent

In some cases, the deployment in the Web Console fails with status code 400: Unable to process JSON.

Hardware Models

Oracle Database Appliance X7-2S, X7-2M, and X7-2-HA

Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L

Workaround

Restart the dcs-agent, then open a new browser session to the Web Console to finish creating (deploying) the appliance.

cd /opt/oracle/dcs/bin
initctl stop initdcsagent
initctl start initdcsagent

Unable to create a test alert with internal Oracle ASR

Unable to create a test alert for Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) that is configured with SNMP version 3.

When you configure an internal Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) with SNMP version 3 and then generate a test, the test appears to success but the alert does not appear in the asr.log file.

Hardware Models

Oracle Database Appliance X7-2S, X7-2M, and X7-2-HA

Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L

Workaround

Configure Oracle ASR to use SNMP version 2. The command odacli test-asr generates a test alert and updates the asr.log file.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 27596890.
