Solution 1613914.1 : Error In Running asrexacheck

Applies to:

Exadata Database Machine X2-2 Full Rack - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Running asrexacheck I got the following error:

Unable to determine Device Type, System Identifier states:
system_identifier = Exadata Database Machine X2-2 AKXXXXXXXX (AKXXXXXXXX substitutes a real serial number in this document)
If system is returning a null value or (None)
Please open a Service Request with the Exadata Hardware Team
To help set your system Identifier.

I tried to set to set the system identifier but after that also i got the same error when i ran asrexacheck:

root@host:~# /opt/ipmitool/bin/ipmitool sunoem cli 'set /SP system_identifier="Exadata Database Machine X2-2 AKXXXXXXXX"'
Connected. Use ^D to exit.
-> set /SP system_identifier="Exadata Database Machine X2-2 AKXXXXXXXX"
Set 'system_identifier' to 'Exadata Database Machine X2-2 AKXXXXXXXX'

-> Session closed
Disconnected

Changes

New system

Cause

Current download fo asrexacheck wil not work on Solaris due to this line in the code:

echo "$DEV_TYPE" | grep -i "Database Machine\|Exadata Storage Expansion" > /dev/null 2>&1

Note the vertical bar meaning an 'or' in the grep expression.

This does not work on Solaris as explained by this URL:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5918150/solaris-grep-with-or-functionality

Solution

The solution is to replace 'grep' by 'egrep'

So the new line should read:

echo "$DEV_TYPE" | egrep -i "Database Machine\|Exadata Storage Expansion" > /dev/null 2>&1

A new version of asrexacheck will be uploaded to the asr URL shortly.
