Using HP Insight Control for Linux to Manage HP ProLiant DL785 G6 Servers running Oracle VM

Note:

Create the repository only on the Oracle VM Server Pool Master.

11. Set the repository as the cluster root. For example, the following command returns a list of the

storage repositories including the UUID for each one:

# /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py –-list

Copy the UUID and use it to set the repository as the cluster root. For example:

# /opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py –-r UUID

Note:

Do not mount the remote virtual disk locally on any server.

When these steps are complete, there must only be one repository on the Oracle VM Server Pool

Master and no repositories present on the rest of the servers in the pool.

Completing shared storage configuration with Oracle VM Manager

Use Oracle VM Manager to create the server pool and add all the other servers to the pool. Be sure

to use the server where the repository was created as the Server Pool Master. As each server is

added, Oracle VM Manager updates the cluster configuration and mounts the repository on the

server.

Troubleshooting

When a configuration command issued on a shared volume group fails, the failure might be caused

by any node sharing the volume group or might be caused by several nodes.

Known issues

Not using HTTPS access for Oracle VM Manager

Problem:

During Oracle VM Manager installation, you entered N when prompted to use HTTPS access. This

uses HTTP to access Oracle VM Manager and port 8888 to listen, and affects the operation of the IC-

Linux Oracle VM Manager console launch menu.

Workaround:

To change the access protocol and port number, follow these steps:

1. Enter the following commands:

/opt/mx/bin/mxtool -r -t "OVM Manager"

/opt/mx/bin/mxtool -r -t "OVM MgrExt"

2. Edit the https://%s:4443/OVS entry in the /opt/repository/contrib/ovs-

tools/OVMManager.xml file and change the protocol and port number to http and 8888,

respectively. Do not edit %s as this represents the server name.

3. Enter the following command:

/opt/mx/bin/mxtool -a -f OVMManager.xml
