Create the following directories:
mkdir -p /opt/exalytics
mkdir -p /opt/exalytics/asr
Copy the file exalytics_configure_network.sh to /opt/exalytics/bin. Copy the following files to the /opt/exalytics/asr directory:
bda_mon_hw_asr.pl
setup_asr_ilom.pl
common_subs.pm
SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB.mib
Note:
Before copying the file, ensure that you back up the existing file as exalytics_configure_network.sh_V1 first.
Execute the Oracle Exalytics network configuration script to configure the network interfaces.
#cd /opt/exalytics/bin
#./exalytics_configure_network.sh
Complete the following steps to configure ASR:
For an OL5 based Exalytics Image, the steps are:
Go to the /opt/exalytics/asr directory, and run the following commands to add executive permissions on the two Perl files:
chmod +x bda_mon_hw_asr.pl
chmod +x setup_asr_ilom.pl
Add the following line to the /etc/inittab file:
emh1:345:respawn:/opt/exalytics/asr/bda_mon_hw_asr.pl -server
At the command line, execute the init q command to initialize and start the bda_mon server.
Note:
You can also download the patch p21565893_20000_Linux-x86-64.zip patch 21565893, unzip the patch file #unzip p21565893_20000_Linux-x86-64.zip –d /tmp/, and follow the instructions in the /tmp/readme.txt file.
For an OL6 based Exalytics Image, the steps are:
Go to the /opt/exalytics/etc/init.d/ directory, and copy the bda-monitor file to /etc/init.d/ directory by running the command:
#cp /opt/exalytics/etc/init.d/bda-monitor /etc/init.d/
Note:
If the bda-monitor file is not found in the /opt/exalytics/etc/init.d/ directory, the file can be located in the patch p21565893_20000_Linux-x86-64.zip, which can then be copied to the directory.
Run the following command to add the bda-monitor file:
#chkconfig –add bda-monitor
At the command line, execute the following command to initialize and start the bda_mon server:
# /etc/init.d/bda-monitor start
Note:
You can also download the patch p21565893_20000_Linux-x86-64.zip patch 21565893, unzip the patch file #unzip p21565893_20000_Linux-x86-64.zip –d /tmp/, and follow the instructions in the /tmp/readme.txt file.
