Issue
Prior to 5.2, Delphix requires 32-bit version of glibc to be installed on Linux source Environments. As a result of periodic updates from Oracle for Exadata source Environments, the 32-bit libraries may be removed therefore affecting Delphix operations. This document details methodology for restoration of these libraries.
Although Delphix provides details on restoring required libraries for toolkit operations, there is no warranty expressed or implied for altering Exadata configurations. Oracle Technical Support should be consulted for any questions or concerns beyond the detail provided in this document, or for concerns regarding warranty coverage, etc. Delphix assumes no liability for violation of contract terms or conditions with any third party in offering restoration of libraries to the Exadata operating environment.
Troubleshooting
In instances where the 32-bit library dependency issue is encountered, the following events may be observed.
Hostchecker
error "/lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter
or
During Environment refresh, Delphix UI may return:
Error: Missing 32 bit glibc libraries on host <hostname> Action: Install the missing 32 bit glibc libraries on host <hostname>
Resolution
Assumptions:
1. OS installed is Oracle Linux Server release 6.7
Procedure:
1. Login to one of your database nodes in Exadata as root
2. Install wget rpm needed to download the public repository repo file (since it does not come by default in Exadata in the rpms installed)
To do so, we need to download an ISO from the proper OEL version we have installed and these are the steps followed:
2a) Create folder to mount the ISO
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# mkdir -p /var/OSimage/OEL6.7
2b) Mount the ISO to the folder previously created
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# mount -o loop,ro /software/LINUX/OEL/6.7/V77197-01.iso /var/OSimage/OEL6.7 [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]#
2c) Create OEL6.7 repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d to specify that the ISO will be a local repository
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# pwd /etc/yum.repos.d [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# cat OEL6.repo [OEL6.7] name=Oracle Linux 6.7 x86_64 baseurl=file:///var/OSimage/OEL6.7 gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]#
2d) Install wget rpm in the system
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# yum install wget Setting up Install Process OEL6.7 | 3.7 kB 00:00 ... OEL6.7/primary_db | 3.0 MB 00:00 ...

3. Once wget is installed, configure wget to use the proxy to be able to download the yum repo config file from the Oracle Public Yum repository
[root@dm01db08 etc]# pwd /etc [root@dm01db08 etc]# cat wgetrc |tail -5 # Force the default remote server encoding #remoteencoding = UTF-8 #Enable Proxy http_proxy=http://<proxy>:80 [root@dm01db08 etc]#
4. Download yum repo config file from the Oracle Public Yum repository (make sure you are positioned in /etc/yum.repos.d)
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# pwd /etc/yum.repos.d [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo --2016-06-15 16:00:59-- http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo Resolving <proxy>... x.x.x.x Connecting to <proxy>|x.x.x.x|:80... connected.

5. Edit public-yum-ol6.repo to configure the first repository listed to point to the latest 32 bits repository (baseurl parameter)
[ol6_latest] name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch) baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/i386/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
6. Edit /etc/yum.conf to add the GE Proxy to be able to communicate with Public Oracle Yum repository for OEL 6.7 (last 2 lines of output below added to file)
[root@dm01db08 ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf # generated by Exadata - [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 # Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this. metadata_expire=1h # Default. # installonly_limit = 3 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d # Never update kernel and kernel-uek installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-bigmem kernel-enterprise kernel-debug kernel-unsupported kernel-uek exclude=up2date enableProxy=1 Proxy=http://<proxy>:80
7. Validate that you can see the public repository you configured (ol6_latest) from Oracle public site
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# yum repolist OEL6.7 | 3.7 kB 00:00 ... ol6_UEK_latest | 1.2 kB 00:00 ol6_UEK_latest/primary | 26 MB 00:08 ol6_UEK_latest 554/554 ol6_latest | 1.4 kB 00:00 ol6_latest/primary | 53 MB 00:19 ol6_latest 28786/28786 repo id repo name status OEL6.7 Oracle Linux 6.7 x86_64 3,800 ol6_UEK_latest Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Linux 6Server (x86_64) 471+83 ol6_latest Oracle Linux 6Server Latest (x86_64) 22,072+6,714 repolist: 26,343 [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]#
8. Search the glibc 32bits rpm that you is needed by Delphix, and once you locate it, look for the subversion needed.
[root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# yum list |grep glibc glibc.x86_64 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7 installed glibc-common.x86_64 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7 installed glibc-devel.x86_64 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7 installed glibc-headers.x86_64 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7 installed compat-glibc.i686 1:2.5-46.2.0.1 ol6_latest compat-glibc.x86_64 1:2.5-46.2.0.1 OEL6.7 compat-glibc-headers.i686 1:2.5-46.2.0.1 ol6_latest compat-glibc-headers.x86_64 1:2.5-46.2.0.1 OEL6.7 glibc.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest glibc-common.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest glibc-devel.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest glibc-headers.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest glibc-static.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest glibc-utils.x86_64 2.12-1.166.el6 OEL6.7 glibc-utils.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest [root@dm01db08 yum.repos.d]# yum --showduplicates list glibc.i686 Available Packages glibc.i686 2.12-1.7.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.7.el6_0.4 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.7.el6_0.5 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.25.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.25.el6_1.3 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.47.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.47.el6_2.5 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.47.el6_2.9 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.47.el6_2.12 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.47.0.2.el6_2.12 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6_3.3 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6_3.4 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6_3.5 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6_3.6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.80.el6_3.7 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.107.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.107.el6_4.2 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.107.el6_4.4 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.107.el6_4.5 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.132.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.132.el6_5.1 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.132.el6_5.2 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.132.el6_5.3 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.132.el6_5.4 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.149.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.149.el6_6.4 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.149.el6_6.5 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.149.el6_6.7 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.149.el6_6.9 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.166.el6 OEL6.7 glibc.i686 2.12-1.166.el6 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.166.el6_7.1 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.166.el6_7.3 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.166.el6_7.7 ol6_latest glibc.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 ol6_latest

Solution
If reinstalling a 32-bit glibc proves to be problematic, Delphix 5.2 and higher supports both 32 and 64-bit glibc, so the requirement for 32-bit glibc no longer exists.
