I am dealing with an alert that is cropping up owing to a mismatch in NTP
information between the ILOM on an X7-10 storage cell vs what is contained
inside /opt/oracle.cellos/cell.conf...
/opt/oracle.cellos/cell.conf
10.11.12.13
ILOM
show /SP/clients/ntp/server/1
/SP/clients/ntp/server/1
Targets:
Properties:
address = time.dummy.com
So the issue is that there's a disagreement between cell.conf and the
ILOM...time.dummy.com resolves to 10.11.12.13 but ipconf likes to be
literal...
Here are my questions
1) Given that the change needs to be made to the ILOM - can I use the "
/opt/oracle.cellos/ipconf.pl -ilom set" to fix the ILOM values ?
Does this require a reboot of the storage cell - Steps to shut down or
reboot an Exadata storage cell without affecting ASM (Doc ID 1188080.1) ?
2) Is it an option to set the ILOM property using "set
/SP/clients/ntp/server/1/ address="?
I am not attempting to have someone tell me how to safely 'break' the
functioning of this machine - just trying to understand how ILOM settings
factor in when it comes to changes like this...
I'd appreciate your thoughts...
Thanks,
