Exalogic Virtual: Steps To Validate EMOC Is In Working State And Functional
(Doc ID 2770380.1)
Last updated on NOVEMBER 10, 2022
Applies to:
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software - Version 2.0.6.0.0 and laterLinux x86-64
Oracle Virtual Server x86-64
Exalogic Virtual Releases 2.0.6.3.X
Exalogic Virtual Releases 2.0.6.4.X
Goal
This MOS Note provides detailed steps to validate EMOC in Exalogic Virtual racks to make sure EMOC is in working state and functional.
Please reach out to Oracle Exalogic Support team by opening Service Request for assistance if any of the EMOC validations fail or EMOC is not functional and working properly.
Time Duration for EMOC Validations: It may take 30 minutes to an hour to validate EMOC using steps in this Note. If Exalogic rack hundreds of Guest vServers, validation may take more time as Network information in EMOC has to be validated for all the Guest vServers.
NOTE: For any planned PSU upgrades for Exalogic Virtual racks, it is always recommended validating EMOC is working and is functional BEFORE and AFTER applying PSU upgrade.

| Goal |
| Solution |
| STEP 1: Check if Proxy Controllers and OVM Manager are Online/Reachable and Discovered Correctly from EMOC |
| 1(a) Validate Proxy Controllers are Online |
| 1(b) Validate OVM Manager is Reachable. |
| 1(c) Validate OVM Storage is discovered correctly in EMOC. |
| STEP 2: Check if Guest vServers are shown under all the Compute Nodes correctly under Assets Accordion |
| 2(a) Check if Guest vServers are shown under all Compute Nodes correctly under Exalogic Systems in Assets Accordion. |
| 2(b) Check if Guest vServers are shown under all Compute Nodes correctly under Server Pools in Assets Accordion. |
| STEP 3: Check if Guest vServers Network Information is shown correctly in EMOC |
| STEP 4: Check if Infiniband Switches are discovered correctly in EMOC |
| 4(a) Validate that Fabric Manager is shown as TRUE for SM Master Switch and False for Non Master Switch |
| 4(b) Validate that Switch Type is Shown as "InfiniBandGateway" and Power status is ON for Infiniband Switches from EMOC. |
| 4(c) Validate that Ethernet Connections to ETH ports (which are enabled) under "Connectivity" tab for Switches is shown as Green |
| 4(d) Validate that IPoIB Connections to Compute Nodes under "Connectivity" tab for Switches is shown as Green |
| STEP 5: Validate that all EoIB and IPoIB Infiniband Networks are shown correctly in EMOC |
| 5(a) For EoIB networks validate that Media Type is shown as EoIB and VLAN ID Field shows VLAN ID correctly |
| 5(b) For IPoIB networks validate that Media Type is shown as Infiniband and P-Key Field Shows Partition Key Value (PKey) Correctly. |
| STEP 6: Validate that there are no NullPointer (or) any other Popup Errors when navigating and clicking on vDC Account |
| STEP 7: Validate EMOC & OVMM Build Versions are correct Supported versions for current running PSU version |
| 7(a) Check EMOC build version on EC, PC1 & PC2 control vServers |
| 7(b) Validate OVM Manager Build version. |
| STEP 8: Validate that there are no Authentication or Blacklisting Errors in EMOC for any Assets |
| 8(a) Validate that there are no authentication errors or blacklisting errors on Compute Node assets in PC cacoa logs. |
| 8(b) Validate that there are no authentication errors or blacklisting errors on Storage Head assets in PC cacoa logs. |
| 8(c) Validate that there are no authentication errors or blacklisting errors on Infiniband Switch assets in PC cacoa logs. |
| 8(d) Validate OVM Manager is NOT marked as unreachable from Proxy Controller cacao logs |
| STEP 9: Validate that OVM Manager DB Is Healthy Without any Corruption |
| STEP 10: Validate EMOC Functionality by Creating, Starting, Stopping & Deleting Test vServer (With both EoIB & IPoIB networks) |
| 10 (a) Create Test vServer by selecting EoIB and IPoIB Networks. |
| 10(b) Stop the created Test vServer from EMOC |
| 10(c) Start the created Test vServer from EMOC |
| 10(d) Delete the created Test vServer from EMOC |
