4 Activating Nodes on Oracle ASR Manager

Use this procedure to activate nodes on Oracle ASR Manager.

Note:

  • Run the commands listed in this section only on Oracle ASR Manager hosts, not on Oracle Exadata servers.

  • Repeat these commands for each Oracle Exadata server that you attach to Oracle ASR.

  1. Run the following command to validate Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) auto-activation and to determine whether the network and ILOM are correctly configured:
    # asr list_asset

    The output should be similar to the following:

    IP_ADDRESS      HOST_NAME       SERIAL_NUMBER   ASR       PROTOCOL    SOURCE          PRODUCT_NAME
    -------------   -------------   -------------   --------  ----------  --------------  ---------------
    10.111.44.111   scac01cel08-c   12345abcde      Enabled   SNMP        ILOM            SUN SERVER X4-2L
    10.222.33.111   scac01cel10-c   43315abcde      Enabled   SNMP        ILOM            SUN SERVER X4-2L
    10.333.11.111   scac01cel09-c   51423abcde      Enabled   SNMP        ILOM            SUN SERVER X4-2L
    10.133.22.111   scac01cel08     12345EDBCA      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP   EXADATA-SQ,ADR  SUN SERVER X4-2L
    10.133.11.111   scac01cel10     12345BACDE      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP   EXADATA-SQ,ADR  SUN SERVER X4-2L
    10.444.33.111   scac01db06      12345XXAAX      Enabled   SNMP,HTTP   EXADATA-SQ,ADR  SUN SERVER X4-2
    • If all of the ILOMs for Oracle Exadata Database Machine servers are in the list, then skip to Step 3.

    • If some of the ILOMs are missing from the list, then proceed with Step 2.

  2. Activate ILOM and run one of the following commands:
    • ILOM IP address

      # asr activate_asset -i Node ILOM IP
    • ILOM host name

      # asr activate_asset -h Node ILOM host name

    Note:

    If the activation did not work, then confirm that you used the IP address of the ILOM and not the server.
  3. Activate the Oracle Exadata operating system side of Oracle ASR by running one of the following commands:
    • # asr activate_exadata -i Node-IP-address -h Node-host-name -l Node-ILOM-IP
    • # asr activate_exadata -i Node-IP-address -h Node-host-name -n Node-ILOM-hostname
  4. Run the following command to verify that all of the Oracle Exadata servers are visible on Oracle ASR Manager:
    # asr list_asset
  5. Approve and assign contacts to the Oracle Exadata servers.
