Add the Details of the RAC Cluster

After you add the Oracle RAC targets, follow these step to add details of the RAC cluster such as listener, ASM and database instances to the EM12c agent running on the target hosts/Oracle Solaris zone.

1. Choose Setup -> Add Target -> Add Targets Manually.
2. From the Add Targets Manually window, select the Add Non-host Target Using Guided Process, choose Oracle Database, Listener and Automatic Storage Management as the Target Type, then Click Add Using Guided Discovery.
   
3. Select the magnifying glass icon to find the Oracle Solaris zone that is part of the RAC cluster.

   Highlight the appropriate host and click Continue.

4. Specify that EM12c should look for listener, ASM and database targets by clicking on all hosts in cluster and click Continue.

   The discovery window is displayed and RAC cluster instances and ASM details are shown.

5. If there are databases in the cluster, click the Configure icon in the Cluster Databases panel.

   In the following example two databases instances are discovered by EM12c, however it is possible that there are no databases created on the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 at this point of the setup and this field would be empty. The example assumes that there are databases, so in the cluster databases panel click the configure icon.

   
   

   The Configure Cluster Database : Properties wizard is displayed.

   1. In the Credential window, type the dbsnmp password, and then click Test Connection.

      The dbsnmp account must be unlocked. Click Next.

   2. In the Review window, review the cluster details and click OK.
      

      Notice that the wrench icon on the configure panel for the database instances is now a solid blue color, indicating that the database targets of the RAC instances are now successfully configured to be managed and monitored by EM12c.

6. In the Discovering Targets on Cluster window, select the wrench icon for the Cluster ASM.
7. In the Configure Cluster ASM : Properties window, type the asmsnmp password and click Test Connection.
   

   A confirmation of the successful connection is displayed.

8. When a confirmation of the successful connection appears, click OK.
9. In the Discovering Targets on Cluster window, click Finish.
10. In the Summary window, click Save.

    The targets are saved and a confirmation window is displayed.

    
    

    At this point the EM12c is now able to manage and monitor the RAC cluster and its components. Repeat these steps for each RAC cluster configured on the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 that the cloud administrator will make available to the Database Cloud end-users.
