The idea to reimage ODA is to refresh the environment without the need to jump from one by one to reach the last available version, or even rescue the system from S.O. failure/crash. The process to do a reimage can be check in the official documentation but unfortunately can be very tricky because the information (the order and steps) are not 100% clear. The idea is to show you how to reimage using version 18 (18.3 in this example), that represents the last available.
In resume the process is executed in the order:
- ILOM: Boot the ISO
- Prepare to create the appliance
- Upload GI and DB base version to the repository
- Linux: Create the appliance
- Firmware and patch
- Create Oracle Homes and the databases
- Finish and clean the install
The environment in this scenario is:
- ODA HA: Oda HA version with two nodes and with SSD disk available.
- Reimage with 18 version: 18.3 version at the moment that reimages was done, but can use any 18.x version
- Databases: 11, 12, 18 for Oracle Home and available versions
Before even start the reimage you have two steps. The first is to verify the hardware against failures. Disks, memory, CPU, MB, whatever error that exists need to be clean before the start. If no, you can hit error during the process. To check about hw error, you can log in the ILOM in the browser and verify for some incidents/errors (this vary from version to version of ODA, but usually the errors are visible in the first page of ILOM). Or you can log in in the console for ILOM and execute the command “show faulty”. Whatever the mode, check in both nodes. If you have a connection with the system execute smartctl –a /dev/DISK and query about errors and look in the column “Total uncorrected errors”. Another option is check if the disk is in warning state using the command smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l xerror /dev/DISK; if you have the report will be similar to “SMART Health Status: WARNING: ascq=0x97 [asc=b, ascq=97]”. For the errors, open SR and wait for the maintenance from Oracle HW team.
The second is save/backup every config that you need. If you did not lose the system backup from /etc folder it is a good start. Another hint is to execute “ifconfig” and “route” to have one output from IP’s that you have and the routing table (vlan list it is important too if used). For Oracle files, backup tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, and sqlnet.ora for every OH or GI that you have. These files are an example, depend on every system and needs. Adjust if you need something additional.
ILOM
The process to reimage start putting the ISO in the ilom and booting both nodes with that. After the boot, the install runs automatically, and you have a Linux to create the appliance.
Before starting the reimage one explanation since the machine was already in use it needs to cleanup the disks. The first option is cleanup before the reimage, using the software from the currently running linux/oda/oak. Or running the cleanup after the reimage finish and before creating the appliance (the option that I will use here).
The steps to reimage from ILOM are done in this order:
- Login ILOM both nodes using the browser
- Navigate to “Host Management” menu and choose “Host Control” submenu.
- Select the option “CDROM” in the list and after click in SAVE.
- Navigate to “Remote Control” menu and choose “Redirection” submenu.
- Click on the option “Launch Remote Control Console”
- You can receive some confirmation to execute some java (depend on how your machine has java configured) or ask to agree about the certificate. Always click yes and agree or continue.
- In the newly opened window select the menu “KVMS” and after the submenu “Storage”.
- In the “Storage Devices” do:
- Click on the “Add”
- Select the ISO file and after click in the option “Select”
- After, verify if the ISO appeared in the “Path” and the “Device Type” is “ISO Image” in the Storage Devices menu. Select the line with the ISO and after click in the option “Connect”.
- After you click in the “Connect” the information marked in red will appear in the screen and the menu now will appear as “Disconnect”. You just need to click in the option “OK”.
- DO NOT CLONE the Console.
- Go back to the Browser and click in the menu “Host Management” and after in the submenu “Power Control”
- Select the option “Power Cycle” and after click in the “Save” option.
- Maybe you will receive on a question if you are sure about the reboot. Just click Ok.
- You will see in the console:
- Reboot
- The process will boot the ISO
- Install the new ODA Image
- In the end, you have the Linux console
All the steps above you can see in the Image gallery below. All the images are linked with the step mentioned.
Remember to do this in both nodes. You can do this both at the same time. The installation time depends more from the network because involve uploading the ISO from machine to ODA. The postscript part during the installation tends to take a lot of time.
Please does not close the Remote Console because this kills the ISO mounting device and the installation will crash. There is no problem if the browser login receives timeout, the installation will continue.
One important thing from this part is that does not update the ILOM SP or even other firmware for HW. This will be executed in the next steps.
Recently Oracle changed the ODA base page and removed the links to ISO files. But the patch 27604623 contains the Oracle Database Appliance Bare-metal ISO Image to download. Just to be clear, I am reimaging for baremetal (not OVM).
Prepare to create the appliance
After you “reimage” you need to configure and create the appliance. But before we need to execute some steps. Now, to connect in the Linux console we have two options: same java console opened to do the reimage, or, ssh to ilom ip and start the console (start /SP/console). I will use the last option because allow to work (copy and paste commands) more smoothly. Example (root/welcome1 are user/password that is the default for reimaged ODA):
Oracle(R) Integrated Lights Out Manager Version 3.2.9.23 r116695 Copyright (c) 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Warning: HTTPS certificate is set to factory default.

Cleanup
As told before, we need to clean the headers for ODA. I start checking the headers with command “cleanup.pl -checkHeader”:
[root@test0 ~]# /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/cleanup.pl -checkHeader Command may take few minutes... OS Disk Disk Type OAK Header ASM Header(p1) ASM Header(p2) /dev/sda HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdb HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdaa HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdab HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdac HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdad HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdae HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdaf HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdag HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdah HDD Found Erased Erased /dev/sdai HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdaj HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdak HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdal HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdam HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdan HDD Found Found Found /dev/sdao SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdap SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdaq SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdar SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdas SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdat SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdau SSD Found Found p2 not created /dev/sdav SSD Found Found p2 not created [root@test0 ~]#
Look above that some ASM Header was found. To clean we execute “/opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/cleanup.pl” with option “-erasedata”. The cleanup script executes more than just erase disk headers, it cleans all the configurations (hostname, ips, users) and because of this needs to be executed in both nodes from HA env. This equalizes all nodes with the same config and avoid an error when you create the appliance. Example:
[root@test0 ~]# /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/cleanup.pl -erasedata INFO: ******************************************************************* INFO: ** Starting process to cleanup provisioned host oak1 ** INFO: ******************************************************************* WARNING: Secure Erase is an irrecoverable process.

After node reboot you can check the disk readers (look that the cleanup will change the hostname to “oak”):
[root@oak2 ~]# /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/cleanup.pl -checkHeader Command may take few minutes...

First network
After the cleanup we can create the basic network. To do that (need to do in both nodes), just execute the script “/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli” with parameter “configure-firstnet”. Look:
[root@oak1 ~]# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli configure-firstnet Select the Interface to configure the network on (bond0 bond1) [bond0]: Configure DHCP on bond0 (yes/no) [no]: INFO: You have chosen Static configuration Use VLAN on bond0 (yes/no) [no]:yes Configure VLAN on bond0, input VLAN ID [2 - 4094] 2999 INFO: using network interface bond0.2999 Enter the IP address to configure : 200.200.67.100 Enter the Netmask address to configure : 255.255.255.0 Enter the Gateway address to configure[200.200.67.1] : INFO: Restarting the network Shutting down interface bond0: [ OK ] Shutting down interface bond1: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ib0: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ib1: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ibbond0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface bond0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface bond1: [ OK ] Bringing up interface ibbond0: Determining if ip address 192.168.16.24 is already in use for device ibbond0...

[ OK ] INFO: Restarting the DCS agent initdcsagent stop/waiting initdcsagent start/running, process 23750 [root@oak1 ~]#
And in the second node:
[root@oak2 ~]# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli configure-firstnet Select the Interface to configure the network on (bond0 bond1) [bond0]: Configure DHCP on bond0 (yes/no) [no]: INFO: You have chosen Static configuration Use VLAN on bond0 (yes/no) [no]:yes Configure VLAN on bond0, input VLAN ID [2 - 4094] 2999 INFO: using network interface bond0.2999 Enter the IP address to configure : 200.200.67.101 Enter the Netmask address to configure : 255.255.255.0 Enter the Gateway address to configure[200.200.67.1] : INFO: Restarting the network Shutting down interface bond0: [ OK ] Shutting down interface bond1: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ib0: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ib1: [ OK ] Shutting down interface ibbond0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface bond0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface bond1: [ OK ] Bringing up interface ibbond0: Determining if ip address 192.168.16.25 is already in use for device ibbond0...

[ OK ] INFO: Restarting the DCS agent initdcsagent stop/waiting initdcsagent start/running, process 10775 [root@oak2 ~]#
The most important is to define correctly the vlan (if used, as in this case). You can rerun the command if needed. After that, you can exit the ILOM console and do ssh to the ODA node.
Upload GI and DB base version to the repository
After you configure the first network you need to upload the files that will fill the internal ODA repository and allow the “create appliance script” do initiate the ASM and base Oracle Home. There are some several steps, but you will execute in just one node.
Again, Oracle recently changed the ODA base page (https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=888888.1) and removed the links to files with clone version for OH and GI. But the patch numbers are patch 27604593 for GI and patch 27604558 for RDBMS. Both are for baremetal image, if you are using VM installation, they are others (but you can find then patch search inside Oracle MOS.
The first step is to upload the files “p27604558_183000_Linux-x86-64.zip” and “p27604593_183000_Linux-x86-64.zip” to the first node and unzip. Remember that the file name will change if you are reimage using another version. Here I used in “/tmp”
[root@oak1 ~]# mkdir /tmp/deploy [root@oak1 ~]# cd /tmp/deploy [root@oak1 deploy]# ###### EXECUTE THE SCP OR COPY FILES TO THE FOLDER######## [root@oak1 deploy]# unzip -qa p27604558_183000_Linux-x86-64.zip [root@oak1 deploy]# unzip -qa p27604593_183000_Linux-x86-64.zip replace README.txt?

After that, we can upload these file to the internal ODA repository:
[root@oak1 deploy]# /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-repository -f /tmp/deploy/odacli-dcs-18.3.0.0.0-181205-GI-18.3.0.0.zip,/tmp/deploy/odacli-dcs-18.3.0.0.0-180905-DB-18.0.0.0.zip

Create appliance
After you clean the disk headers, prepare the first network and upload the files in the repository you can create the appliance. This means that you will configure the operational system, groups, users, folders, GI, ASM, and Oracle database. There are two ways to create, one is using the web interface (this replace the old java app that creates the XML file), and the other is from CLI. Unfortunately, until I wrote this, if you use VLAN you can’t create the appliance with the web interface, just with CLI.
The CLI uses the script “/opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli create-appliance” that receive a JSON file as a parameter. There is not some much information the parameter for this JSON file, just the readme with some examples and one web page with other examples. But in both, no real good explanation to each option, look: https://docs.oracle.com/en/engineered-systems/oracle-database-appliance/18.3/cmtxd/create-appliance-using-json-file.html#GUID-42250FD2-EA91-4457-9ED7-CA3A2A863B40

The file starts with a basic config where you define the name parameter and the instanceBaseName that will define some basic internal identification parameters. One example is the time zone.
The first that needs attention is isRoleSeparated and osUserGroup. If you choose the first as false, you don’t need the specify grid users. Otherwise, is needed to specify it.
For nodes option, you specify the hostname, ips, and gateway. Be careful with the nickname that is the same name that you configured the first network. Some steps above. The ilom parameter, since I am not changing now (and I think that in reimage scenario you do not change at this moment), remains null.
The grid parameter defines the disk division. You can choose arbitrary values for diskPercentage and disks that you will select for each one if needed. For disk, left undefined that ODA will divide automatically and accordingly. The key point here is that even, by default, FLASH and REDO diskgroups are created with default values (check that I even defined disk percentage for each one), if you forgot to specify, they are not created and the disk will not be used. I already wrote about one problem in this particular part and you can read here: http://www.fernandosimon.com/blog/oda-json-and-flash/
The database parameter defines the information for database creation. You have the basic like database name, unique name, cdb (or no), pdb name. The most tricky here are dbVersion (that need to be the same from that you uploaded in the repository), adminPassword (that will be used for root password after create the appliance), dbShape (that is the same – you choose one – for ODA available shapes), and dbStorage (that you choose between ASM and ACFS, 11 just support ACFS). Again, for ASM and ACFS I already wrote about that here: http://www.fernandosimon.com/blog/oda-acfs-and-asm-dilemma/
Important hint, if you want to create a database in another version that 18c you need to upload the files/clone images in the repository before.

You can follow the log too if you want to see more detailed (a lot) info. To do just go to directory /opt/oracle/dcs/log/ and check the file dcs-agent.log. Everything will be there, and it is really importing if some step fails. Here you can see one example of the output.
After the end of the job you can check the details for the appliance:

Firmware and patch
As described in the documentation, the reimage process does not update firmware and we need to this after creating the appliance. This point ins controversy, because there is no information when need to do this, you can run before or after creating the appliance. Here I made after the create, but if you are in really old version and have a lot of old firmware running maybe you can run before the create to avoid issues.
The funny part is that the firmware’s are inside of one the default patch file. Again, you need to search in patch search page because Oracle removed from 88888.1 page these links (look the path number in the example below). So, the procedure to update firmware is the same to apply a patch in ODA and need to download the same patch version. As usual, the first step is to upload the files:
[root@odas1 ~]# cd /tmp/deploy/ [root@odas1 deploy]# [root@odas1 deploy]# unzip -qa p28864490_183000_Linux-x86-64_1of3.zip [root@odas1 deploy]# unzip -qa p28864490_183000_Linux-x86-64_2of3.zip [root@odas1 deploy]# unzip -qa p28864490_183000_Linux-x86-64_3of3.zip [root@odas1 deploy]# [root@odas1 deploy]# rm -rf p*zip [root@odas1 deploy]# [root@odas1 deploy]# ls -l total 15441928 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2767978208 Dec 13 14:50 oda-sm-18.3.0.0.0-181205-server1of3.zip -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6835610213 Dec 13 15:08 oda-sm-18.3.0.0.0-181205-server2of3.zip -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6193475789 Dec 13 15:22 oda-sm-18.3.0.0.0-181205-server3of3.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1155 Dec 13 15:22 README.txt [root@odas1 deploy]# [root@odas1 deploy]#

Create Oracle Homes and the databases
After update all the firmware’s you can upload the clone files for Oracle Homes versions that you want and create it. The procedure is the same than before, upload the files to (and just) ODA node 1 in somewhere and after that upload the repository and create the homes.
Upload the files and update the repository. Look below that I made one for each version:
[root@odas1 ~]# cd /tmp/deploy/
[root@odas1 deploy]#
[root@odas1 deploy]# unzip -qa p23494992_183000_Linux-x86-64.zip

As an example, if you want to delete the database that was created during the creation of appliance just execute odacli delete-database:
[root@odas1 ~]# odacli delete-database --dbName mfod

Finish and clean the install
After all the steps listed until now, you have your ODA reimaged, updated, and with 18c, 12c and 11g available version for database creation. To finish you can update some files as needed. Examples of important files are /etc/fstab, /etc/sysctl.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route* and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rules* (both related with routing tables for vlans – if needed), and add the listener for all the vlans that you created (if needed of course).
To finish, reboot both nodes and change the root password.
The reference that can be consulted to help you to understand the reimage and deployment procedure:
