Solution 1663302.1 : On Oracle Big Data Appliance X4-2 Verifying the Boot Order and Getting "grep: /tmp/bios.xml: No such file or directory"

Applies to:

Big Data Appliance X4-2 Hardware - Version All Versions and later
Linux x86-64

Symptoms

While verifying the boot order during Oracle Big Data Appliance X4-2 installation the following error is seen running on OEL6 with image 2.4.0 installed.

[root@bda01 ~]# grep -m1 -A15 boot_order /tmp/bios.xml | more

grep: /tmp/bios.xml: No such file or directory

Cause

There was a command which should have been run first to create the bios.xml file prior to this command being run.

Solution

Run the following command to generate /tmp/bios.xml file. Creation of /tmp/bios.xml will resolve the error.

[root@bda01 bda]# dcli “ubiosconfig export all -x /tmp/bios.xml”

The following command will now run fine to verify the boot order is correct:

[root@bda01 bda]# dcli “grep -m1 -A20 boot_order /tmp/bios.xml” | more

The following documentation also shows the solution above:
