Exalogic Networking Part 2

Following on from my introduction Exalogic Blog Entry (Exalogic Networking Part 1) this entry describes the Oracle A-Team Exalogic Scripts to help facilitate a simpler ECU installation and provide an example on configuring a standard Oracle ACS type environment. The scripts and a pdf document can be downloaded using the link below :

This blog will summarise the functionality that is provided by the A-Team Exalogic Scripts. These expand upon the existing “Exalogic Configuration Utility” functionality simplifying repetitive jobs, for example creating VNICs on the switches, and building base environments.

Version 1.0.1 contains the following scripts that will be detailed later:
  1. genVNICSFromListLinkUp.sh
  2. genVNICSFromIBNetDiscover.sh
  3. genCNNetFiles.sh
  4. genIfcfgFiles.sh
  5. fixNetworkConfig.sh
  6. setupDefaultACSRack.sh
During the process of execution the scripts above will generate additional scripts that will be specific for Exalogic Rack they are being executed on.
