2.10 Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control

Use Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 10.2.0.5 or later to configure your entire high availability environment. Grid Control is Oracle's single, integrated solution for managing all aspects of the Oracle Grid and the applications running on it. Grid Control couples top-down monitoring for applications with automated configuration management, provisioning, and administration. This powerful combination provides unequaled management for any size Oracle data center.

Using Enterprise Manager Grid Control you can perform any configuration task. For example, you can:

  • Migrate to Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

  • Migrate a single-instance Oracle Database to Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC)

  • Create Oracle Data Guard standby databases

  • Configure backup and recovery

  • Configure Oracle Streams

  • Use the MAA Advisor to implement Oracle's best practices and achieve a high availability architecture
