Add an Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure
With a private endpoint defined, you’re ready to add an Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure that uses that endpoint. You can add Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructures from the Private Endpoint Details page or from the Exadata Fleet Administration page.
- From the Ops Insights main menu, click Administration and then Exadata Fleet.
- Click Add Exadata System. The Add Exadata Systems to Ops Insights dialog displays.
- Ensure Cloud Infrastructure Exadata Cloud Service is selected.
- Under Exadata Infrastructure in <compartment name>, select the desired Exadata infrastructure from the drop-down menu. You can change the compartment if necessary. Changing the compartment will query that compartment for valid Exadata Infrastructures.
- Select the VM Cluster and Private Endpoint from their
respective drop-down menus to change the default values, if necessary.
Note
Optionally, you may add additional VM Clusters.Once the Exadata Infrastructure, VM Cluster, and Private Endpoint have been selected, you have the option of adding member databases now or at a later time. Member databases within the selected VM Cluster appear in the Members table. IMPORTANT: At least one Container Database must be added (if one was not previously on-boarded). It is required to pull the Exadata metrics.
- To enable a member Container Database for Ops Insights, you must set the credentials. Click Set Credentials to display the Set Container Database Credentials dialog. Alternatively, you can select Set Credentials from the Action menu (vertical ellipses) for a specific database member in the table.
- Enter the required credential information and click Set Credentials.
Note
The database user should be a common user between the Container Database and all Pluggable Databases within the Container Database. See Creating the Oracle Database Monitoring Credentials for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Management and Ops Insights (Doc ID 2857604.1). - Click Add Exadata System. The Exadata Details page for the new system displays.
As noted earlier, if you did not enable all member databases while adding the Exadata system to Ops Insights, you can add them via the Exadata Details page.
The newly added system will appear in the Exadata Fleet Administration page.
Enabling/Disabling Exadata Cloud Service Databases
If Exadata Cloud Service databases were previously enabled, they do not need to be enabled again. If all the Container Databases/Non-Container Databases are already enabled, simply select the VM Cluster and the Private Endpoint used when adding the Exadata system.
When disabling the Exadata system, it's highly recommended that this be done on the Exadata system itself as this will disable the databases and hosts automatically.
If you want to disable a single Container Database and its Pluggable Databases, simply disable the Container Database and all its Pluggable Databases will also be disabled as a result.
