Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 Half Rack - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When discovering an Oracle SuperCluster and running the Discovery Precheck Script as stated in the following documentation

16.6.2 Obtain the Discovery Precheck Script
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E63000_01/EMADM/discovery_emsi.htm#EMADM15595

The script fails on solaris 11.x SuperCluster nodes with the following error :

.../agent_13.1.0.0.0/plugins/oracle.sysman.si.discovery.plugin_13.1.1.0.0/discover$ perl ./sscDiscoveryPreCheck.pl

Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.12/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.12 /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12 /usr/perl5/5.12/lib/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.12/lib .) at ./sscDiscoveryPreCheck.pl line 51.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./sscDiscoveryPreCheck.pl line 51.

Cause

Default OS install do not install perl simple parser pkg "library/perl-5/xml-simple-512"

Solution

use new sscDiscoveryPreCheck.pl script which:

- provides information how to install missing perl modules
- added support for PDU IPv6
- fixed verification of ILOM Alert Rules table
- improved diagnosability of SuperCluster system IDs
- security: community strings are hidden in logs
