Frequently asked questions

Answer

How can I enable the Oracle instant access feature on BYO after storage is configured or upgraded without the NGINX service installed?

Perform the steps in the following order:

  1. Install the required NGINX service version.

  2. Run the command: /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo

  3. Ensure that the new BYO NGINX configuration entry /etc/nginx/conf.d/byo.conf is part of the HTTP section of the original /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file.

How can I resolve the following issue in the vpfs-config.log file that is raised from? Verifying that the MSDP REST API is available via https on port 10087

Perform the steps in the following order:

  1. Install the policycoreutils and policycoreutils-python packages through the yum tool.

  2. As required by SELinux for NGINX, add the following rules to bind on the 10087 port.

    • semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 10087

    • setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

  3. Run the following command: /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo

Instant Access for BYO uses a self-signed certificate by default and only supports *.pem external certificate.

How do I replace it with a certificate signed by external CA (*.pem certificate), if required?

To configure the external certificate, perform the following steps:

  1. If the new certificate is already generated (the certificate must contain long and short host names for the media server), go to step 5.

  2. Create the RSA public or private key pair.

  3. Create a certificate signing request (CSR).

    The certificate must contain long and short host names for the media server.

  4. The external Certificate Authority creates the certificate.

  5. Replace <PDDE Storage Path>/spws/var/keys/spws.cert with the certificate and replace <PDDE Storage Path>/spws/var/keys/spws.key with the private key.

  6. Run the following command to reload the certificate:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo

How can I disable media automount for the instant access livemount share in gnome?

If the automount is enabled, the source folder is mounted from the livemount share in gnome and smaller disks appear. In this scenario, the instant access feature does not work properly.

The mounted disk content source is from the .../meta_bdev_dir/... folder under livemount share, while the mount target is in the /run/media/... folder.

Follow the guideline to disable the gnome automount:

How can I resolve the following issue in the /var/log/vpfs/vpfs-config.log file?

**** Asking the NetBackup Webservice to trust the MSDP webserver (spws) **** /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nblibcurlcmd failed (1):

Perform the steps in the following order:

  1. Ensure that your NetBackup primary server is up and there is no firewall blocking the connection between the primary server and storage server.

  2. Run the following command on storage server to verify the connection status:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd -pn

  3. Wait for the NetBackup primary server to start and for an established connection between the NetBackup primary server and storage server. Then run the following command:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo
