Oracle VM Set CPU Pinning/Affinity – Part 13


Step 1: Login to Oracle VM server as root

[root@mgmtsrv ~]# ssh ovm.lab.local
root@ovm.lab.local's password:
Last login: Sun Dec 17 05:34:13 2017 from 10.10.10.1
[root@ovm ~]#

Step 2: Enable TCPS [Secure way to connect and perform the tasks]

[root@ovm ~]# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/bin/
[root@ovm bin]# ./secureOvmmTcpGenKeyStore.sh
Generate OVMM TCP over SSL key store by following steps:
Enter keystore password: ## Enter the password ##
Re-enter new password: ## Re-enter the password ##
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: Ora Admin
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: LAB
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: TEST
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: Chennai
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]: Tamil Nadu
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]: IN
Is CN=Ora Admin, OU=LAB, O=TEST, L=Chennai, ST=Tamil Nadu, C=IN correct?
[no]: yes


Enter key password for
(RETURN if same as keystore password): ## Enter above given password ##
Re-enter new password: ## Re-enter above given password ##

[root@ovm bin]# ./secureOvmmTcp.sh
Enabling OVMM TCP over SSL service

Please enter the Oracle VM manager user name: admin

Please enter the Oracle VM manager user password: ## Enter Oracle VM Manager admin password ##

Please enter the password for TCPS key store : ## Enter above created key store password ##

The job of enabling OVMM TCPS service is committed, please restart OVMM to take effect.

Restart the OVMM daemon

[root@ovm bin]# /etc/init.d/ovmm restart
Stopping Oracle VM Manager [ OK ]
Starting Oracle VM Manager [ OK ]

Below netstat output show that TCPS port is listening in Oracle VM Manager.

[root@ovm ~]# netstat -antulp | grep 54322
tcp 0 0 :::54322 :::* LISTEN 9042/java

Step 3: Install the Oralce VM Utils

[root@ovm ~]# mkdir OVMM

Download the below zip file from Oracle Support site.

[root@ovm ~]# unzip -d OVMM p13602094_30_Linux-x86-64.zip

Please use the readme file for the Oracle VM Manager version supported files. Here I’m using 3.3.3, so ovm_utils_2.0.1.zip file need to be used.

Step 4: Verify the Oracle VM Server CPU topology and cpu list

Below command explains that Oracle VM Server has 2 Processors and 2 Cores per Processor, which means total 4 vcpu’s.

[root@ovs01 ~]# xenpm get-cpu-topology
CPU core socket node
CPU0 0 0 0
CPU1 1 0 0
CPU2 0 1 0
CPU3 1 1 0

Next I want to check which VM’s are using which CPUs. I have only one VM (0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3) names as FirstVM which uses 2 vcpu threads. See CPU column (2,3).

[root@ovs01 ~]# xm vcpu-list
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) CPU Affinity
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 0 2 -b- 390.9 any cpu
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 1 3 -b- 29.2 any cpu
Domain-0 0 0 1 -b- 237.7 any cpu
Domain-0 0 1 0 r-- 278.1 any cpu
Domain-0 0 2 3 -b- 152.5 any cpu
Domain-0 0 3 2 -b- 241.0 any cpu

Step 5: Check whether CPU’s are pinned for the new VM.

[root@ovm ovm_utils]# ./ovm_vmcontrol -u admin -p ************ -h ovm.lab.local -v FirstVM -c vcpuget
Oracle VM VM Control utility 2.0.1.
Connecting with a secure connection.
Connected.
Command : vcpuget
No vcpu's pinned for this Virtual Machine.

Above output shows that CPU’s are not pinned for the VM.

Step 6: Pin both CPUs to core 0 and 1.

It is recommend to reboot the VMs after CPU pinning to get the changes effective.

[root@ovm ovm_utils]# ./ovm_vmcontrol -u admin -p ************ -h ovm.lab.local -v FirstVM -c vcpuset -s 0,1
Oracle VM VM Control utility 2.0.1.
Connecting with a secure connection.
Connected.
Command : vcpuset
Pinning virtual CPUs
Pinning of virtual CPUs to physical threads '0,1' 'FirstVM' completed.

[root@ovm ovm_utils]# ./ovm_vmcontrol -u admin -p ************ -h ovm.lab.local -v FirstVM -c vcpuget
Oracle VM VM Control utility 2.0.1.
Connecting with a secure connection.
Connected.
Command : vcpuget
Current pinning of virtual CPUs to physical threads : 0,1

Step 7: Confirm the CPU pinning by access and run the below command in the Oracle VM Server.

[root@ovs01 ~]# xm vcpu-list
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) CPU Affinity
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 0 0 -b- 401.6 0-1
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 1 1 -b- 29.4 0-1
Domain-0 0 0 3 -b- 240.0 any cpu
Domain-0 0 1 3 r-- 282.2 any cpu
Domain-0 0 2 2 -b- 154.2 any cpu
Domain-0 0 3 0 -b- 244.2 any cpu

Step 8: Alternate method to set CPUs from Oracle VM server

[root@ovs01 ~]# xm vcpu-pin 2 all 2-3


[root@ovs01 ~]# xm vcpu-list
Name ID VCPU CPU State Time(s) CPU Affinity
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 0 3 -b- 409.8 2-3
0004fb0000060000524f9d3e43fd71f3 2 1 3 -b- 29.5 2-3
Domain-0 0 0 0 -b- 242.3 any cpu
Domain-0 0 1 2 -b- 285.7 any cpu
Domain-0 0 2 1 r-- 155.6 any cpu
Domain-0 0 3 0 -b- 247.2 any cpu

Upgrade Oracle VM Server from Command Line – Part 10


It is recommended to keep both Oracle VM Manager and VM Server on same version. So here I’m going to upgrade Oracle VM Server to 3.3.5 from 3.3.3 version in command line interface.

Step 1: Create the Yum Repositories using installation media

[root@mgmtsrv ~]# cd /var/www/html/
[root@mgmtsrv html]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

[root@mgmtsrv html]# cp -rp /mnt/* ovs3.3.5/

Step 2: Login in to Oracle VM Manager as admin user

[root@mgmtsrv ~]# ssh -l admin ovm.lab.local -p 10000
admin@ovm.lab.local's password:
OVM>

Step 3: Create VM Manager Server Update Repository

OVM> create ServerUpdateRepository repositoryName=NewRepository3.3.5 url=http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5 enabled=Yes pkgSignatureType=GPG pkgSignatureKey=http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5/RPM-GPG-KEY name=MyOVSRepo on ServerUpdateGroup id=GlobalX86ServerUpdateConfiguration
Command: create ServerUpdateRepository repositoryName=NewRepository3.3.5 url=http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5 enabled=Yes pkgSignatureType=GPG pkgSignatureKey=http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5/RPM-GPG-KEY name=MyOVSRepo on ServerUpdateGroup id=GlobalX86ServerUpdateConfiguration
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:30:05,854 EST
JobId: 1513682997560
Data:
id:0004fb000031000014f76b016ce471a4 name:MyOVSRepo

OVM> list ServerUpdateRepository
Command: list ServerUpdateRepository
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:31:55,639 EST
Data:
id:0004fb000031000014f76b016ce471a4 name:MyOVSRepo

OVM> show ServerUpdateRepository name=MyOVSRepo
Command: show ServerUpdateRepository name=MyOVSRepo
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:33:06,074 EST
Data:
Server Update Group = GlobalX86ServerUpdateConfiguration [GlobalX86ServerUpdateConfiguration]
Repository Name = NewRepository3.3.5
Url = http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5
Enabled = Yes
Package Signature Type = GPG
Package Signature Key = http://mgmtsrv.lab.local/ovs3.3.5/RPM-GPG-KEY
Id = 0004fb000031000014f76b016ce471a4 [MyOVSRepo]
Name = MyOVSRepo
Locked = false

Step 4: Put Oracle VM Server in to Maintenance Mode

This is step is not needed because when you execute the Step 5 command will place your Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode, checks for any updates in the server update repository, installs any updates, restarts the Oracle VM Server, then takes it out of maintenance mode and returns it to the server pool as a fully functioning member of the pool. But however it is a good practice if we manually put the server in maintenance mode before doing any server related activity.

OVM> setMaintenanceMode Server name=ovs01.lab.local mode=on
Command: setMaintenanceMode Server name=ovs01.lab.local mode=on
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:34:22,205 EST
JobId: 1513683001804

Step 5: Upgrade Oracle VM Server

OVM> upgrade Server name=ovs01.lab.local
Command: upgrade Server name=ovs01.lab.local
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:46:24,619 EST
JobId: 1513683310258

Step 6: Take out the server from Maintenance Mode

We need to take out the server from maintenance mode, Since we did manually in Step 4.

OVM> setMaintenanceMode Server name=ovs01.lab.local mode=off
Command: setMaintenanceMode Server name=ovs01.lab.local mode=off
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:51:54,977 EST
JobId: 1513684314777

Step 7: Delete Server Update Repository

OVM> delete ServerUpdateRepository name=MyOVSRepo
Command: delete ServerUpdateRepository name=MyOVSRepo
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:56:19,409 EST
JobId: 1513684574493

OVM> list ServerUpdateRepository
Command: list ServerUpdateRepository
Status: Success
Time: 2017-12-19 06:57:21,744 EST
Data:
None

That’s it. Now login to Oracle VM Server and the check the version.
