Solution 2074217.1 : ODAVP: configure firstnet is not showing eth coming from VLAN setting

Applies to:

Oracle Database Appliance - Version All Versions and later
Oracle Database Appliance Software - Version 2.5.0.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

You are configuring the "firstnet", trying to use the new eth device comming from a VLAN (created from dom0 or from ODA_BASE):

# oakcli configure firstnet
INFO: VM environment detected
Select the Interface to configure the network on (eth0 eth1) [eth0]:

but the only "real"/physical eth devices are listed.

In the above example we are running on X5-2 and we are expecting to see also the "eth2".

Changes

A VLAN has been created, attached to ODA_BASE and it has been rebooted to make the change available

Cause

This is an expected behavior.

Solution

Make the IP settings manually into the ethX configuration.

Edit "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX"

DEVICE=ethX              <<----
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=<ip address>      <<----
NETMASK=<netmask>       <<----
GATEWAY=<gateway>       <<----
TYPE=ETHERNET

example:

DEVICE=eth2
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=10.0.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
TYPE=ETHERNET
