Oracle Linux 7.5 Error- piix4_smbus 0000:00:01.3: SMBus base address uninitialized

-
Recently I have come across a strange issue while working with Oracle Linux. Below are the environment details, problem summary and solution worked for my environment-

Environment-
  • Oracle Linux 7.5
  • Architecture- x86-64
  • File System- XFS
  • Type- VM
  • VM running on - Blade Servers
  • VM Manager- OVM 3.4
Problem Summary-
There was some issue with network and hence the blade servers that caused my oracle linux startup issue, below error shown during the startup maintenance mode-
piix4_smbus 0000:00:01.3: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr

Symptoms
Server shows this message at the console at boot or in /var/log/dmesg  

Cause
The warning message is harmless and caused by the device's PCI config register 0x090 being set to 0. When the kernel module i2c-piix4 tries to read the PCI config register, it reads the 0 which causes the i2c-piix4 module's initialization to fail with -ENODEV

Solution
If you want to avoid it, you can try to backlist "i2c-piix4" module, and reboot.
# echo "blacklist i2c-piix4" >> /etc/modprobe/backlist.conf

Migration of Oracle SOA Suite Composite from 11g to 12c

Recently I have came across a scenario where I have a business requirement of  migration of Oracle SOA Suite 11g(11.1.1.7.0) to 12c(12.1.3.0). Below are the different mechanisms I have tried to do, few of them failed and one succeeded. Working in Oracle SOA Suite 11g is completely different from 12c. In 11g, we need to install the jDeveloper(11.1.1.7) then SOA extension separately to be installed either via offline file  (download available at  https://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml ) or through jDeveloper top menu >>  Help >> Check for Updates >> SOA Extension.  While working with 12c doesn't involves such tedious job. Only single installer is required for jDeveloper/SOA/Weblogic and is available as QuickStart Installer(download available at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html). Approach 1- Compress(Zip) SOA composite ...
