Chapter 6 Servicing Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Components

Table of Contents

This chapter explains the service procedures for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance in case a failure occurs. Optionally, you can configure the system with Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR), which generates a service request with Oracle automatically when it detects a hardware malfunction. Certain components of Oracle Private Cloud Appliance are customer-replaceable. These are listed in this chapter, along with the necessary instructions.

6.1 Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR)

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance is qualified for Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR), a software feature for support purposes. It is integrated with My Oracle Support and helps resolve problems faster by automatically opening service requests when specific hardware failures occur. Using ASR is optional: the components must be downloaded, installed and configured in order to enable ASR for your appliance.

Oracle is continuously analyzing and improving the ASR fault rules to enhance the Oracle support experience. This includes adding, modifying and removing rules to focus on actionable events from ASR assets while filtering non-actionable events.

6.1.1 Understanding Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR)

To enable the automated service request feature, the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance components must be configured to send hardware fault telemetry to the ASR Manager software. ASR Manager must be installed on the active management node, which needs an active outbound Internet connection using HTTPS or an HTTPS proxy.

When a hardware problem is detected, ASR Manager submits a service request to Oracle Support Services. In many cases, Oracle Support Services can begin work on resolving the issue before the administrator is even aware the problem exists.

For more information about ASR, consult the Oracle Auto Service Request web page: https://www.oracle.com/support/premier/auto-service-request.html.

6.1.2 ASR Prerequisites

Before you install ASR, make sure that the prerequisites in this section are met.

6.1.3 Setting Up ASR and Activating ASR Assets

The necessary packages for ASR Manager must first be downloaded and stored in an installation directory that is accessible from both management nodes. For ASR Manager to work on Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, it must be installed on both management nodes, and failover must be configured so that the ASR Manager role is always fulfilled by the management node that also has the active role.

You can register the ASR Manager (ASRM) as a stand-alone ASRM, or as a relay to another ASRM in your network, including the Oracle Advanced Support Gateway. Registering the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance as a stand-alone ASRM means it communicates directly with the Oracle backend systems through My Oracle Support, which is the standard registration method.

Detailed installation and configuration instructions are available from My Oracle Support. Refer to the support note with Doc ID 2560988.1.

6.2 Replaceable Components

According to Oracle's Component Replacement Policy, the replaceable components in your system are designated as either field-replaceable units (FRUs) or customer-replaceable units (CRUs).

  • A part designated as a FRU must be replaced by an Oracle-qualified service technician.

  • A part designated as a CRU can be replaced by a person who is not an Oracle-qualified service technician.

All CRUs and FRUs are listed and identified in this chapter, but the servicing instructions included in this Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Administrator's Guide are focused primarily on CRUs. For FRU replacement, please contact Oracle.

6.2.1 Rack Components

The following table lists the replaceable components of the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance rack.

6.3 Preparing Oracle Private Cloud Appliance for Service

This section describes safety considerations and prerequisites for component replacement procedures.

Safety Precautions

For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when servicing your equipment:

  • Follow all standard cautions, warnings, and instructions marked on the equipment and described in the following documents:

  • Follow the safety guidelines described in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Installation Guide (F28397-09):

  • Follow the electrostatic discharge safety practices as described in this section.

  • Disconnect all power supply cords before servicing components.

Electrostatic Discharge Safety

Devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), such as motherboards, PCIe cards, drives, processors, and memory cards require special handling.

Caution

Equipment Damage

Take antistatic measures and do not touch components along their connector edges.

  • Use an antistatic wrist strap.

    Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components such as drive assemblies, boards, or cards. When servicing or removing rack node components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the chassis. Then disconnect the power cords from the component. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the component.

    An antistatic wrist strap is not included in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance shipment.

  • Use an antistatic mat.

    Place ESD-sensitive components such as the motherboard, memory, and other PCB cards on an antistatic mat.

    The following items can be used as an antistatic mat:

    • Antistatic bag used to wrap an Oracle replacement part

    • An ESD mat (orderable from Oracle)

    • A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional system components)

6.4 Servicing the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Rack System

This section provides instructions to service replaceable components (CRUs/FRUs) in the appliance rack. Before starting any service procedure, read and follow the guidelines in Section 6.3, “Preparing Oracle Private Cloud Appliance for Service”.

6.4.1 Powering Down Oracle Private Cloud Appliance (When Required)

Some service procedures may require you to power down the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance. Perform the following steps to manually power down the system.

Caution

Whenever a hardware system must be powered down, make sure that the virtual machines hosted by that system are shut down first. If you power down the appliance with running virtual machines, these will be in an error state when the system is returned to operation.

For details, consult the Oracle VM Manager User's Guide.

Shutting down the Oracle VM environment
  1. Log in to Oracle VM Manager and open the Servers and VMs tab.

  2. Using the navigation tree, select each virtual machine and click Stop to shut it down gracefully.

    If the applications hosted by your VMs require the services and machines to be shut down in a particular order, respect those requirements just like you would with physical machines.

    Once the VMs have been shut down, you can proceed to power off the compute nodes.

  3. Using the navigation tree, select each compute node and click Stop Server to shut it down gracefully.

  4. Using SSH and an account with superuser privileges, log into the active management node at the management virtual IP address. Stop Oracle VM Manager by entering the command service ovmm stop.

Powering down the system for service
  1. If, at this point, any compute nodes have not shut down properly, press the Power button on the running compute nodes in order to shut them down gracefully.

  2. Press the Power button on the management nodes in order to shut them down gracefully.

    Once the servers are powered off, you can proceed to power off the storage appliance.

  3. Press the Power button on the storage server heads attached to the chassis of the storage device.

  4. Toggle the rack Power switches to the Off position.

    Note

    The Ethernet switches do not have power switches. They power off when power is removed, by way of the power distribution unit (PDU) or at the breaker in the data center.

Returning the system to operation after service or unplanned outage
  1. Toggle the power distribution unit (PDU) circuit breakers of both PDUs to the On position.

  2. Wait at least two minutes to allow the PDUs to complete their power-on sequence.

    The Ethernet switches are powered on with the PDUs.

  3. Press the Power button on the storage server heads.

    Wait approximately two minutes until the power-on self-test completes, and the Power/OK LED on the front panel lights and remains lit.

  4. Press the Power button on the management nodes.

    The management node that completes booting first assumes the active role.

    Note

    Compute nodes do not power on automatically like the internal ZFS Storage Appliance, switches and other components. Make sure that the management nodes and internal storage are up and running, then manually power on the compute nodes.

  5. When the management nodes are up, press the Power button on the compute nodes.

    Caution

    The compute node ILOM policy for automatic power-on is disabled, and must remain disabled, to prevent a server from booting prematurely and disrupting the correct boot order of the appliance components.

    When all compute nodes are up, verify the status of all system components in Oracle VM Manager.

    If no components are in error state, the appliance is ready to resume normal operation.

6.4.2 Service Procedures for Rack System Components

For parts that are not hot-swappable, power down the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance before starting the service procedure. Generally speaking, hot-swappable components can be serviced without specific additional steps.

  4. Disconnect the power cables and data cables from the server.

  5. Most service operations can be performed while the server is in the maintenance position.

    However, if necessary, remove the cable management arm (CMA) and pull the server out of the rack.

    Caution

    The server weighs approximately 18.1 kg (39.9 lb). Two people are required to dismount and carry the chassis.

Returning the system to operation

These steps briefly describe the procedure. For detailed instructions, refer to the chapter Returning the Server to Operation in the Sun Server X3-2 Service Manual (part no. E22313).

  1. If the top cover was removed to service a component, reinstall the top cover on the server.

  2. If the server was removed, reinstall it into the rack.

  3. Reconnect data cables and power cords.

  4. Return the server to its normal operational position in the rack, making sure the CMA is correctly installed.

  5. Power on the server.

6.10.2 Service Procedures for Sun Server X3-2 Components

For parts that are not hot-swappable, power down the Sun Server X3-2 before starting the service procedure. If the server is in use in the Oracle VM environment, place it in maintenance mode first. This protects your virtual infrastructure against data corruption, and allows it to remain in service as long as the configuration of your environment allows it.

Generally speaking, hot-swappable components can be serviced without specific additional steps for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance. Follow the applicable procedure in the Service Manual. The following table provides links to each service procedure and indicates whether parts are hot-swappable or require the component to be taken offline and powered down.

Table 6.21 Service Procedures for Sun Server X3-2 Components

6.11 Servicing the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2

This section provides instructions to service replaceable components (CRUs/FRUs) in the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2. Before starting any service procedure, read and follow the guidelines in Section 6.3, “Preparing Oracle Private Cloud Appliance for Service”.

6.11.1 Powering Down the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2 for Service (When Required)

If you need to execute a service procedure that requires the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2 to be powered down, follow these instructions:

Powering down the storage head/controller

Because the storage controllers are clustered, there is no loss of access to storage when one controller is powered down for service. Performing a graceful shutdown ensures that data is saved and not corrupted, and that resources are assigned to the other controller in the storage head cluster. Power down a controller for component replacement using one of the following methods:

  • Log in to the UI by using the server's IP address in the appliance management network:

    1. In your browser, enter https://ipaddress:215.

    2. Log in as root, using the system-wide Oracle Private Cloud Appliance password.

    3. Click the Power icon on the left side under masthead.

  • Alternatively, SSH in to the storage appliance as root, and enter the command maintenance system poweroff.

If graceful shutdown as described above is not possible, use the power button:

  • Use a pen or non-conducting pointed object to press and release the Power button on the front panel.

  • SSH or use a serial connection to log in to the service processor (SP), and then issue the command stop /SYS.

  • If the server did not respond, initiate an emergency shutdown. Press and hold the Power button for at least four seconds until the Power/OK status indicator on the front panel flashes, indicating that the storage controller is in standby power mode. To completely remove power, disconnect the AC power cords from the rear panel of the storage controller.

    Caution

    An emergency shutdown causes all applications and files to be closed abruptly without saving. You might corrupt or lose system data, or lose the server configuration (the resources assigned to it) during an immediate power down.

Powering down the disk shelf is not required

All replaceable components in the disk shelf are hot-swappable. The disk shelf itself does not need to be powered down for the replacement of defective components.

However, do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The disk shelf must not be operated without all components in place.

Powering on the storage appliance
Caution

The disk shelf must not be operated without all components in place.

  1. Connect any storage head power and data cables you removed to service a component.

  2. Power on the server by pressing the Power button on the front panel.

    If you are not physically located at the system, use either of these ILOM methods instead:

    • Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.

      Click Host Management > Power Control, and in the Actions list click Power On.

    • Log in to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

      At the CLI prompt, type the following command: start /System.

  3. When the controller is powered on and the power-on self-test (POST) code checkpoint tests have completed, the green Power/OK status indicator on the front panel lights and remains lit.

  4. If you performed a graceful shutdown earlier, return resources to the server that was just serviced.

    1. Log into the web UI for the server that was not serviced.

    2. Go to Configuration > Cluster.

    3. Click Failback.

    Note

    For information about configuring the clustered servers and attached disk shelves, see the Oracle ZFS Storage System Administration Guide for the appropriate software release.

6.11.2 Service Procedures for Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2 Components

For parts that are not hot-swappable, power down the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS7-2 before starting the service procedure.

Warning

If you need to execute a service procedure that interrupts the connection between virtual machines and their virtual disks, shut down the virtual machines in Oracle VM Manager prior to servicing the storage hardware. Disconnecting a running virtual machine from its disks may cause data corruption.

Generally speaking, hot-swappable components can be serviced without specific additional steps for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance. Follow the applicable procedure in the Service Manual.

6.13 Servicing the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3-ES

This section provides instructions to service replaceable components (CRUs/FRUs) in the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3-ES. Before starting any service procedure, read and follow the guidelines in Section 6.3, “Preparing Oracle Private Cloud Appliance for Service”.

6.13.1 Powering Down the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3-ES for Service (When Required)

If you need to execute a service procedure that requires the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS3-ES to be powered down, follow these instructions:

Powering down the storage head/controller

Performing a graceful shutdown ensures that data is saved and not corrupted, and that resources are assigned to the other controller in the storage head cluster. This is the preferred method for powering down a controller for component replacement.

  1. Ensure that Ethernet cables are connected from your network to the NET-0 port on the back of each server.

  2. Direct your web browser to the server to be serviced by using either the IP address or host name assigned to the NET-0 port as follows: https://ipaddress:215.

  3. Log in as root, using the system-wide Oracle Private Cloud Appliance password.

  4. Go to Maintenance, then select Hardware.

  5. Click the Show Details link for the server.

  6. Click the Power icon for the server and select Power off from the pull-down list.

Caution

This task forces the main power off. You might corrupt or lose system data, or lose the server configuration (the resources assigned to it) during an immediate power down.

  1. Press and quickly release the Power button on the front panel.

    This action causes an orderly shutdown of the operating system, and the server enters the standby power mode.

  2. If the server did not respond or you need a more immediate shutdown, press and hold the Power button for four seconds.

    This forces the main power off and enters the standby power mode immediately. When the main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel begins flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.

If neither graceful shutdown nor emergency shutdown using the power button is possible, for example because you are not physically located at the system, use the ILOM to perform an emergency shutdown. Choose one of the following options:

Caution

This task forces the main power off. You might corrupt or lose system data, or lose the server configuration (the resources assigned to it) during an immediate power down.

  • Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.

    In the left pane, click Host Management > Power Control, and in the Actions list click Immediate Power Off.

    Click Save, and then click OK.

  • Log in to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

    At the CLI prompt, type the following command: stop -f /System.

Powering down the disk shelf

Do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The disk shelf must not be operated without all components in place. Powering down or removing all SAS chains from a disk shelf will cause the controllers to panic to prevent data loss. To avoid this, shut down the controllers before decommissioning the shelf.

  1. Stop all input and output to and from the disk shelf.

  2. Wait approximately two minutes until all disk activity indicators have stopped flashing.

  3. Place the power supply on/off switches to the "O" off position.

  4. Disconnect the power cords from the external power source.
