Monitoring the System Using EM Exadata Plug-in

Starting with SPARC SuperCluster 1.1 and later, you can monitor all Exadata-related software and hardware components in the cluster using Oracle Enterprise Manager Exadata 12.1.0.3 Plug-in only in the supported configuration described in the note below.


Note -  Only Oracle SuperCluster with software Version 1.1 with Database Domain on Control LDOM-only environments are supported. Earlier versions of SPARC SuperCluster can be made compatible if you update to the October 2012 QMU release. You can confirm this requirement by looking at the version of the compmon pkg installed on the system (using either pkg info compmon or pkg list compmon commands to check). You must have the following minimum version of compmon installed: pkg://exa-family/system/platform/exadata/compmon@0.5.11,5.11-0.1.0.11:20120726T024158Z

Known issues:

  • The pre-requisite check script exadataDiscoveryPreCheck.pl that is bundled in Exadata plug-in 12.1.0.3 does not support the catalog.xml file. Download the latest exadataDiscoveryPreCheck.pl file from My Oracle Support as described in the “Discovery Precheck Script” section of the

  • If multiple database clusters share the same Exadata Storage server, in one Enterprise Manager management server environment, you can discover and monitor the first DB Machine target and all its components. However, for additional DB Machine targets sharing the same Exadata Storage server, the Oracle Exadata Storage Server Grid system and the Oracle Database Exadata Storage Server System will have no Exadata Storage server members because they are already monitored.

  • If the perfquery command installed in the Oracle SuperCluster has version 1.5.8 or later, you will encounter a bug (ID 15919339) where most columns in the HCA Port Errors metric in the host targets for the compute nodes will be blank. If there are errors occurring on the HCA ports, it will not be reported in Enterprise Manager.

    To check your version, run the following command:

    perfquery -V
