Any response will be appreciated. Thanks, Murali -------- Original Message -------- Subject: S11 AI LDom configurations Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:12:22 +0530 From: muralidhar rao <[email protected]> Organization: Oracle Corporation To: [email protected] Hi Ethan, I'm part of the OpsCenter engineering team, and as you probably already know, we provide a way of installing S11 on client systems by hosting our own AI server and publisher etc I write to you, seeking some help in the context of LDOMs. Please point me to the right person/alias, if you're not the right person to answer my queries. Lemme provide some context. On every machine that the customer wishes to install S11 on, we also install some Ops Center related 'agentry' software. This allows us to implement other actions like monitoring, patching, virtualization etc, on the freshly installed S11 system. As of today, we install the agent software, through a 'first-boot' service/script mechanism. So, as of today, the S11 installation completes, the first boot service runs, configures some networking and then installs the agent, after which we disable the service. Since this is created as a 'transient' service, this doesn't get enabled on every reboot, only at the first one. We've unconvered multiple scenarios recently, in which we'd like to perform some additional configuration AND perform a reboot (mandatory) before installing the agent. All of them are related to LDOMs, where we will need to enable MPxIO or run a delayed reconfiguration or something. We were wondering if there is some way that we could achieve this through the AI framework itself (like we used to have JET for S10). We could, of course, remove the 'transient' property from the service and make it run repeatedly, and check for 'first-boot', 'second-boot' and 'subsequent-boot' and handle these cases. But one of the main concerns we have is, how do we know when it is safe/legal to instantiate the mandatory reboot that we need to, after finishing the configuration post first reboot? If we reboot, before the other SMF services have finished, we might leave the system in an incosistent state. Thanks in advance for reading through a rather detailed email, and providing any hints/inputs. Thanks, Murali
