Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 2135295.1 : ODX X5-2: Startx / X-Windows Missing In New ODA Installed with EL6 - Not Able To Deploy ODA
Brand new ODAs shipped with EL6 may not include startx or Xwindows support. This may require a reimage using 12.1.2.5 including all patching and then patching up to 12.1.2.6 Two other options may include using VNC or deploying using the GridInst.pl steps from the command line. Created from <SR 3-12654266881>
Applies to:Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]Information in this document applies to any platform. ODA, deployment,GridInst.pl,VNC,startx,X-windows,EL6,ODA installation GoalHow to deploy the Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 if startx / X-Windows is missing on a new ODA The OAK Patch version "12.1.2.6" is not a good software to install on NEW ODA machines as some of the FIRMWARE and OTHER patches are missing The following steps may not work as the current 12.1.2.6 patch bundle is only for the OS and may not include the required FW,INFRA patches as well as GI patches.
That stated, you can try the following before reimaging to 12.1.2.5 and upgrading to 12.1.2.6 which is the current documented steps as stated in 888888.1 Note for the ODA Please refer to 888888.1 for complete information on the patching and upgrading of the ODA first
ASSUMPTION Solution
VNC One recommendation is to user VNCServer: [root@oak2 ~]# vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops. Password: Verify: xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority New 'odax5-2-abc:1 (root)' desktop is odax5-2-abc:1
Deployment steps without a GUI You should be able to execute the deployment without X-windows IF you have a completed onecommand.params file and loaded to /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd from the directory first issue For Bare Metal ./GridInst.pl -l
For ODAVP ./GridInst.pl -l -o
You should see the following output # ./GridInst.pl -l -o
INFO : Logging all actions in the file /dev/null and traces in the file /dev/null INFO : Loading the configuration file /opt/oracle/oak/onecmd/onecommand.params... The steps in order are... Step 0 = ValidateParamFile Step 1 = SetupNetwork Step 2 = WriteNodelists Step 3 = SetupSSHroot Step 4 = VerifyEnvVersion Step 5 = SetupDNS Step 6 = UpdateEtcHosts Step 7 = SetTimezone Step 8 = SetupNTP Step 9 = SetupILOM Step 10 = ValidateEnv Step 11 = CreateUsers Step 12 = SetupStorage Step 13 = SetupSSHusers Step 14 = InstallGIClone Step 15 = RunGIClonePl Step 16 = RunRootScripts Step 17 = GIConfigAssists Step 18 = CreateASMDiskgroups Step 19 = InstallDBClone Step 20 = RunDBClonePl Step 21 = DbcaDB Step 22 = SetupACFS Step 23 = SetupASR Step 24 = ResecureMachine Check your onecommand.params file and make sure that you have all the information in it including network configuration, node names... etc NOTE that node names must be in lower case
--------------------------------------------------- If the onecommand.params file is complete issue the following which will execute the deployment without X windows ,/GridInst.pl -r 0-24
The -r flag is for RANGE Optionally, you can execute individual steps using -s plus the step number Add the -o flag for most oakcli commands if you are using ODAVP
