Oracle Appliance Manager Tools for Configuration Auditing and Disk Diagnosis

Oracle Appliance Manager provides access to a number of sophisticated monitoring and reporting tools, some of them derived from standalone tools that require their own syntax and command sets. The following list briefly describes the ORAchk command and the disk diagnostic tool:

  • ORAchk

    The ORAchk Configuration Audit Tool audits important configuration settings for Oracle RAC two-node deployments in categories such as:

    • Operating system kernel parameters and packages

    • RDBMDS

    • Database parameters and other database configuration settings

    • Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS)

    • Oracle Grid Infrastructure

    • Oracle ASM

    ORAchk is system-aware and checks best practices, (for example, best practices that are specific to Oracle Database Appliance when ORAchk is run by Oracle Appliance Manager). To explore ORAchk on Oracle Database Appliance, use the oakcli orachk -h command. Find more details about ORAchk at https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1268927.2.

  • Disk Diagnostic Tool

    Use the Disk Diagnostic Tool to help identify the cause of disk problems. The tool produces a list of 14 disk checks for each node. To run the tool, enter the following command:

    # oakcli stordiag resource_type
