Note:
•
ISO +
preconf.csv
is supported only if the ISO image is mounted on an
NFS repository in ILOM and the
preconf.csv
file is located in the same
NFS directory. All other methods of mounting the ISO image in ILOM
(SAMBA URI and Java Remote Console) and burning ISO image to DVD
will not work with the
preconf.csv
file. For instructions on how to mount
the ISO image from a NFS central repository, see "
Storage Device Redirection Session
" in the Oracle X5 Series Servers
Administration Guide
•
Because of possible late echos of text to the console, be aware that the
boot process will be waiting for input to complete the interactive
ipconf
by
prompting for
Nameserver:
•
Due to a bug,
ipconf
will prompt you twice to enter the network settings.
b.
(page 5-72), and boot the system with the ISO image and
follow installation prompts. The ISO can be made available with a
preconf.csv
following the steps in the Note box above, or as virtual media on the ILOM of
the node to be reimaged when a
preconf.csv
is not used.
Steps
(page 5-70) to
(page 5-72), which create the image files, can
be skipped.
11.
Download the
imagemaker
kit to prepare and create the files for the USB drive.
This kit is available publicly on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud
(
edelivery.oracle.com
) site under “Oracle Database Products -> Linux x86-64”.
There are separate ImageMaker files for database nodes and cells.
12.
After download, unzip the first file, called something similar to
V75080-01.zip
, and
then unzip the subsequent file as well. Perform the unzips as the root user. Then
untar the file.
# unzip V75080-01.zip
# unzip cellImageMaker_12.1.2.1.1_LINUX.X64_150316.2-1.x86_64.zip
# tar -pxvf cellImageMaker_12.1.2.1.1_LINUX.X64_150316.2-1.x86_64.tar
View the
README_FOR_FACTORY.txt
file in the resulting directory for additional details.
13.
Run
makeImageMedia.sh
to build the ISO file for imaging.
For building images for 12.1.2.1.0 and above, the recommended
makeImageMedia.sh
options for building ISO images are:
a.
(12.1.2.1.0 up to 12.2.1.1.0) Change directory to the
dl180
or
dl360
directory.
b.
(12.2.1.1.0 and above) Change directory to the
cell
or
compute
directory.
c.
Make the ISO file.
./makeImageMedia.sh -factory -stit -reboot-on-success -nodisktests [-preconf
preconf_file] filename.iso
For ISO imaging, note that you must run
makeImageMedia.sh
from an Oracle
Exadata database server if you are using the
-preconf
option.
