SuperCluster Tools

In addition to the full compliment of Oracle Solaris OS and Oracle Database software features, SuperCluster provides additional tools and utilities that help you manage the system.

The Python programming language is used to create SuperCluster-specific utilities such as the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant. The SuperCluster 2020 Q2 Quarterly Patch Update (SuperCluster software version 3.0.0.1875 or later) provides utilities that are based on Python 3. Prior to the 2020 Q2 update, the utilities were developed using Python 2. To determine your software version, see Identify the SuperCluster Software Version.

This table lists the additional tools and utilities.
