Before you discover Exadata Infrastructure in Database Management, you must:
The Exadata Infrastructure discovery process includes the following main
operations:
- Selecting a previously discovered External Database System (DB
system) in the on-premises Exadata Database machine.
- Configuring the connectors to the storage servers that you want to
monitor using Database Management.
- Reviewing the associated DB systems and the storage servers that
will be monitored using Database Management, and
creating the Exadata Infrastructure resource.
To discover an Exadata Infrastructure resource in Database Management:
- Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.
- At the top of the page, ensure that the region in which you want to discover
the Exadata Infrastructure is selected.
Note
Cross-region monitoring and
management of Exadata Infrastructure is not available.
- Open the navigation menu, click Observability &
Management. Under Database Management,
click Administration.
- On the left pane, select the compartment in which the associated DB system is
discovered and select External in the
Deployment type drop-down list.
The registered External Databases in the compartment are
listed on the Managed databases page along with the link
to the associated DB system in the Database System
column.
- Click Discover system and then click External
Exadata infrastructure.
- On the Select DB systems page of the Discover
Exadata infrastructure panel, specify the associated DB systems
in the Exadata Database machine, and click Next.
By default, the compartment selected on the Managed
databases page is displayed, however, you can select another
compartment in the drop-down list and select the DB systems in that
compartment.
- On the Add connectors page of the Discover
Exadata infrastructure panel:
- Review the Exadata Infrastructure details in the
Exadata infrastructure information section,
and edit the name and the compartment of the Exadata Infrastructure, if
required.
Note
- The compartment cannot be edited for previously discovered
Exadata Infrastructure resources.
- The license type is taken from the license type selected for
the associated DB system.
- Review the list of storage servers and DB systems
associated with the Exadata Infrastructure, and add connections to the
storage servers that you would like to monitor using Database Management. To add a connection to a single storage
server, click Configure connector in the
Connector column or to add a connection to
all storage servers, click Configure all
connectors. For information, see Add Connections to Storage Servers.
If you do not want to monitor a
storage server using Database Management,
then deselect the storage server. Note that to proceed with the
discovery process, a connection to at least one storage server must
be added.
- Optionally, click Show advanced
options to add free-form or defined tags to the Exadata
Infrastructure. If you have the permissions required to discover the
Exadata Infrastructure, then you also have permissions to add free-form
tags. To add a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag
namespace.
Note
It's
recommended that you set values for the Oracle-Standard tags as
these tags ensure consistency across your tenancy.
For information on:
- Click Next.
- On the Review page of the Discover Exadata
infrastructure panel, review the External Infrastructure
details, the tags added to the Exadata Infrastructure, if any, and the
components that will be monitored by Database Management, and click Submit.
On the Managed databases page, a link with the
name of the Exadata Infrastructure is displayed in the Exadata
column for the External Database and External Database System with which it's
associated.
