How to Replace a Big Data Appliance Compute Node MotherBoard

Purpose

This note directs to the corresponding MOS doc with steps to take after the Motherboard has been replaced.

Scope

The note applies to all nodes in all versions of BDA unless otherwise noted. 

Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:  The engineer must be Big Data Appliance trained.
- TIME ESTIMATE: 90 Minutes
- TASK COMPLEXITY: 3

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW

This document points to existing MOS documentation containing the steps required to successfully replace a system board in all versions of BDA.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?

If the system is still up and functioning, customer should perform an orderly and graceful shutdown of applications and OS.
Follow shutdown instruction in: Steps to Gracefully Shutdown and Power on a Single Node on Oracle Big Data Appliance Prior to Maintenance (DOC ID 2099858.1)
Then power off the server and remove the AC power cords from the system.

A data backup is not a prerequisite but is a wise precaution.

1.  Depending on the BDA version, use the appropriate documentation to change the Motherboard:

Oracle Big Data Appliance X6-2
   How to Remove and Replace a Motherboard Assembly in an Oracle Server X5-2L and X6-2L (Doc ID 1993394.1)

2. After Motherboard replacement, update the files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to reflect the new MAC addresses.
    Refer to MOS Doc ID 1944741.1  "After Replacing a System Board on Oracle Big Data Appliance..."

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE?:

Boot up system and verify full functionality
