That Finnish Guy

We recently had to collect sundiag.sh output to one of our Service Requests and I followed note “Oracle Exadata Diagnostic Information required for Disk Failures and some other Hardware issues (Doc ID 761868.1)“.

And while there isn’t too much of work involved I thought perhaps I could reduce few steps. Below is short script which creates folder to /tmp under running node (I use first database node), runs sundiag.sh via dcli on all nodes based on all_group file, downloads those files to running node and creates new archived file which you can upload to Service Request.

Before you run this you need to setup ssh equivalency across all the nodes.

Output when you run it looks like this:

You can download the script from here.

Thoughts on this?

I have script under work which would run also ILOM snapshot through sundiag.sh if the ilom node is up but it needs to be done on different method as you need to supply root password during execution.
