Sunfire X2100 and X2200: Neither have video out.

CompgekeJun 5 2013 — edited Jun 5 2013
Back again with some servers quite a bit newer than the V480, this time X2x00 servers. I seem to have a problem with a Sunfire X2200 and a X2100 where neither are outputting anything on the VGA out. Both start up with high fan speed, then the fans slow but no keyboard response and no output on VGA. The green light on the motherboard does blink once the fans spin down from full speed. I am unable to check the access cards as I have no idea what the assigned IPs are as unlike the V480, I was never given IPs or usernames (anyway to reset that without video output?).

I am able to confirm my keyboard and mouse work, I have a 2nd X2200 that works fine with output, as does a Dell Poweredge 2950.

The X2100 is a 2.8 GHz Opteron (unknown if Dual or Quad core yet) with 12 gigs ram, no hard drives. Already tried clearing CMOS.
The X2200 is Dual 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Opterons, 32 gigs ram, no hard drives. Tried clearing CMOS on it as well.

Dude!

You should be able to open the vi utility by simply giving the absolute path:

# cd ~


# /bin/vi .bashrc

There isn't really much in .bashrc

# cat .bashrc

# .bashrc




# User specific aliases and functions




alias rm='rm -i'


alias cp='cp -i'


alias mv='mv -i'




# Source global definitions


if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then


    . /etc/bashrc


fi

Actually  when i logged in with root user  then i am not able to use vi command

[reema@reema Desktop]$ vi /etc/oratab

[reema@reema Desktop]$ su

Password:

[root@reema Desktop]# vi /etc/oratab

bash: vi: command not found

[root@reema Desktop]#

But  with normal user i am able to use vi command

why ?

Dude!

When you type "vi", the command line interpreter attempts to locate the path to the executable by walking through the directories defined by the PATH environment variable. If your PATH does not contain the directory where the program resides, you will have to specify the correct path instead, e.g.: /bin/vi. The PATH environment variable and other things are defined in the login scripts, such as .bashrc, /etc/profile, etc. and read depending on your type of shell. Note the difference between "su" and "su -". The later will perform a login and reset the current environment. You obviously screwed up the root login environment.

[root@localhost ~]# ls -al

export PATH

Is it my Path clashing am i right

in .bash_profile and .bash_rc

Dude!
Answer

Pretty much everything there is wrong. What you probably want to set is the following:

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle


export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1


export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

or better:

$ . oraenv

Enter your oracle SID and all your Oracle environment variables will be set.
