Before you can monitor or manage an Oracle FS System in Oracle Enterprise Manager, you must add the system as a target. When you add an Oracle FS System as a target, you also create a Monitoring Credential account. The Monitoring Credential account is used to monitor the Oracle FS System and generate reports.
- Prerequisites:
-
-
Host name for the Oracle FS System target
-
Login credentials for the Oracle FS System target
These credentials are for an administrator account on the Oracle FS System.
Your Oracle FS System administrator can provide this information.
You add targets from the Targets tab at the top of the Oracle Enterprise Manager page.
- Select .
All available targets are listed.
- Locate Agents in the Type column and click the corresponding fully qualified domain name link in the Name column.
The list of existing Oracle Flash Storage Systems displays.
- From the Add drop-down list, select Oracle Flash Storage System.
- Click Go.
- Enter a name for the target in the Name field.
- Enter the fully qualified domain name (for example: coaxm013.us.oracle.com) of the Oracle Flash Storage System in the Host field.
- Provide login credentials for the Oracle FS System administrator account in the Login and Password fields. This creates a Monitoring Credential for the target.
Important! Take extra care when providing login credentials because the plug-in does not verify the credentials. If you enter an incorrect name or password, the system locks you out without the opportunity to re-enter the credentials and a login failure event is generated every two seconds in the Oracle FS System. The plug-in has no management capabilities; therefore, it is best practice to always use Administrator 2 privileges when performing plug-in tasks.
- Click OK.
A target is added as well as a Monitoring Credential for that target. You can monitor and run reports for that target.
