2.6 Discovering Components on Clustered UNIX Computers

NOTE:The following sections apply only to Oracle UNIX Knowledge Scripts. They do not apply to Oracle RAC UNIX Knowledge Scripts.

For both Oracle RAC and non-RAC clustered environments, the database you monitor should be active on a node at the time you configure the Oracle module and when you run discovery on that node. The following instructions assume that you have already installed the UNIX agent on the host and the module on each node in the cluster.

To discover components on Oracle RAC clusters:

  1. Ensure each node is active.

  2. Run the netiq_oracle_configuration script and the Discovery_OracleUNIX Knowledge Script on each node.

  3. Run the SetMonitoringOptions Knowledge Script on each node.

To discover components on non-RAC clusters:

  1. Run the netiq_oracle_configuration script and the Discovery_OracleUNIX Knowledge Script to discover all available Oracle RDBMS resources on the active node.

  2. Fail over the active node to the passive node.

  3. Repeat step 1 for the currently active node.

  4. Run the SetMonitoringOptions Knowledge Script on the nodes in the cluster.
