Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Administration Guide

Start the System

This procedure assumes that power is applied to the system, but the compute nodes are shut down (the system is in standby mode). For instructions on how to connect the system to power, refer to the Oracle MiniCluster S7-2 Installation Guide.

For additional information about Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37444_01.

1. On a system with network access to MiniCluster, log into Oracle ILOM as root.

   ---

   Note -  Start node 1 first because the MCMU is on node 1.

   ---

   • Oracle ILOM web interface – In a browser, enter this address, and press Return

     http://ILOM_hostname_or_ipaddress

     The Oracle ILOM Login screen is displayed. Log in using your Oracle ILOM root account and password.

   • Oracle ILOM CLI – In a terminal window, enter this information.

     % ssh root@ILOM_hostname_or_ipaddress
         root password: ********
     -> 

2. Perform one of these actions.
   • Oracle ILOM web interface – Click Host Management → Power Control and select Power On from the Select Action list.
   • Oracle ILOM CLI – Enter this command.

     -> start /System

3. Repeat this procedure to boot the other compute node.
4. (Optional) If you are using the Oracle ILOM CLI and you want to connect to the host from Oracle ILOM, start the host console.

   -> start /HOST/console

   Log into the compute node with valid credentials.

   As the compute node boots, messages are displayed on the host console.

5. Verify the state of the VM components.

   See:

   • Obtaining Status (CLI)

   • View System Information (BUI)

   When booting is complete, all the configured VMs are available for use. If for some reason any of the VMs are not running, you can manually start them. See Starting VM Components (CLI).
