8. For versions prior to 12.1.2.2.0 proceed to step 11 (page 5-81) to use
ImageMaker to create the image files.
If you are using version 12.1.2.2.0 or later, it is no longer necessary to use
imagemaker
to create the image files in version 12.1.2.2.0. The relevant PXE, ISO,
and USB image files have already been created in the patches themselves. Simply
download the patch containing the prebuilt image file from Oracle Software
Delivery Cloud (edelivery) and place the downloaded USB
.img
image file onto the
USB drive. For 12.1.2.2.0 the patch numbers can be obtained from My Oracle
Support note 2038073.1 . There are separate ImageMaker files for database
nodes and cells.
Note : For image version 12.1.2.2.0 the format of the downloadable image
files has changed.
There will be an image file in the downloaded zip file. For example, the database
node zip file will contain
computeImageMaker_12.1.2.2.0_LINUX.X64_150917.x86_64.img
. For cell images, the
file will be similar to
cellImageMaker_12.1.2.2.0_LINUX.X64_150917.x86_64.img
.
9. (For 12.1.2.2.0 and above) Follow the steps in the patch
README.txt
file to copy the
file and optional
preconf.csv
file onto the USB drive.
a. Place the
computeImageMaker_12.1.2.2.0_LINUX.X64_150917.x86_64.img
file in a
directory on a Linux server.
b. Verify that the md5sums match:
f3daae6a9757d4feb4a0f4262e610945
computeImageMaker_12.1.2.2.0_LINUX.X64_150917.x86_64.img
c. Prepare the USB drive using a command similar to the following,
where /dev/sdd is the name of the inserted USB drive:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=1M count=100 oflag=direct
You can determine the exact name of the USB drive by looking in /var/log/
messages after inserting the USB drive.
d. Write the
.img
file to the USB drive. This may take 15 minutes or more and no
output is shown during the operation.
# dd if=filename.img of=/dev/sdd bs=1M oflag=direct
e. Rescan the partition table on Linux to recognize the new partition:
# partprobe
f. Verify that the USB is mountable as long as the system supports ext4 file
system. This must be an Oracle Linux 6 system for this step even if the
previous
dd
command was run on an Oracle Linux 5 system.
mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
g. (Optional) Prepare and place the
preconf.csv
file on the USB drive. The file
name must be
preconf.csv
on the USB drive. The
preconf.csv
file must contain
MAC addresses for each node in the order to be used during the image. If no
preconf.csv
file is used during imaging, the node will prompt for its network
configuration the first time it boots up.
