Copy Configuration Files to Compute Node 1

  1. Type the installation command and provide the necessary information to create a temporary IP address for compute node 1.

    Note -  If the installmc command is not recognized, you might have to type the full path to the installation command: /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/bin/installmc --init
    compute-node-1% installmc --init
    Enter Temporary IP addresses : 
    Enter Netmask in CIDR form (valid range: 8-28) :
    Enter Default Gateway Address :
    Type of Cable Used to Connect Network Ports with the 10 GbE Switch: Copper/Fiber : 

    where:

    • Temporary IP address is the IP address on the client access network for compute node 1 that you entered into DNS in Preliminary Tasks.

    • Netmask in CIDR form is the netmask (subnet mask) for the client access network that you entered in the Initial Configuration tool or in the table in Preliminary Tasks. For example, 23.

    • Default gateway address is the gateway for the client access network that you entered in the Initial Configuration tool or in the table in Preliminary Tasks.

    • Type of cable that you used to connect the MiniCluster to the 10GbE client access network (copper or fiber). See Connect the 10GbE Client Access Network for more information.

    After you enter all the necessary information, after 15 or 20 seconds, an Input Summary screen appears.

    In the Do you want to change the inputs? line, type N if all the information is correct, or Y if you need to redo any of the information that you entered.

    This screen appears:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Initialization of Temporary IP Complete.
    Please copy over omcips.txt,userinputs.txt to /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/store if you have generated them using the offline tool.
    Then, run installmc --deploy to continue with Firstnet setup
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2. Locate the two configuration files that were generated using the Initial Configuration tool (userinputs.txt and omcips.txt).

    See Preliminary Tasks.

  3. From the remote system where you ran the Initial Configuration tool, transfer those two configuration files to the /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/store directory on compute node 1.

    From a terminal window, type:

    remote-system# scp userinputs.txt omcips.txt mcinstall@ipaddress:/var/opt/oracle.minicluster/store

    where ipaddress is the temporary IP address that you entered in Step 1.

    If you use a tool such as WinSCP to transfer the two configuration files to compute node 1, use the temporary IP address that you entered in Step 1, and log in as mcinstall, with the initial credentials (see Log In To Compute Node 1 (Oracle ILOM)).

  4. Perform the initial configuration of the system.

    Go to Perform Initial Configuration.
