Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console provides a user-friendly interface to view and create databases and view job activity.
Topics:
Use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console to view and create databases and to view job activity.
The Web Console assists you to deploy Oracle Databases that follow Optimal Flexible Architecture guidelines. The Optimal Flexible Architecture standard provides best practices configurations to help to ensure database deployments that are easier to support and maintain. Optimal Flexible Architecture includes the following:
Structured organization of directories and files, and consistent naming for critical database files, such as control files, redo log files, and other critical files, which simplifies database administration.
Separation of tablespace contents to minimize tablespace free space fragmentation, and maximize administrative flexibility
Stripe and Mirror Everything (SAME) deployment, which safeguards against database failures
The Web Console provides a user-friendly option to perform the following tasks:
Deploy the appliance
View existing databases
Create and delete databases
View existing database homes
Create and delete database homes
View job activity
Configure and enable Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR)
Note:
Create Oracle Databases using the Web Console or command-line interface to ensure that your database is configured optimally for Oracle Database Appliance.Configure Oracle Auto Service Request.
Topics:
Configure Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) to automatically generate service requests for specific hardware faults.
Oracle ASR is a secure support feature that can improve system availability through expedited diagnostics and priority service request handling. You can configure Oracle ASR on Oracle Database Appliance to use its own ASR Manager (internal Oracle ASR) or use Oracle ASR Manager configured on another server in the same network as your appliance (external Oracle ASR). If you already have Oracle ASR Manager configured in your environment, you can register Oracle Database Appliance with your existing Oracle ASR Manager.
Note:
With an internal Oracle ASR Manager, an alert is not sent when the server goes down. If a critical event occurs on Oracle Database Appliance with an external Oracle ASR Manager, then an alert can still be sent to Oracle.You can configure Oracle ASR as part of deploying the appliance, or you can use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console or command-line interface to configure or edit an Oracle ASR after deployment.
You need the following items to support Oracle ASR:
Oracle Database Appliance hardware must be associated with a Support Identifier (SI) in My Oracle Support.
If a proxy server is required for Internet access to Oracle, then you must also provide the name of the proxy server. You can optionally configure Oracle ASR to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 2 or SNMP Version 3.
To configure an internal Oracle ASR Manager, you need a My Oracle Support account user name (e-mail address) and password associated with the My Oracle Support account under which the server is registered.
To register with an external Oracle ASR Manager, you need the IP address of the Oracle ASR Manager.
Use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console to configure Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) in Oracle Database Appliance.
The e-mail address associated with the My Oracle Support account under which the server is registered
The password associated with the My Oracle Support account under which the server is registered
If a proxy server is required for Internet access to Oracle, then you must also provide the name of the proxy server
Use the Oracle Appliance Manager Web Console to register Oracle Database Appliance with an existing Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) Manager.
Before configuring, verify that the Oracle Database Appliance hardware is associated with a Support Identifier (SI) in My Oracle Support.
To configure Oracle ASR, you need the IP Address for the Oracle ASR Manager:
