Find out how to discover and manage storage area network (SAN) targets for Oracle Database Security Central.

About SAN Targets and Disks

To make storage area network disks available to Oracle Database Security Central, you must discover storage area network servers, and then log in to available targets.

After you have registered SAN servers in the Audit Vault Server, to make SAN disks available for storing Audit Vault Server data, you must discover and log in to the available targets on the SAN server.

When you log in to a target on the SAN server, a number of storage disks are made available to the Audit Vault Server, corresponding to the number of LUNs available on the SAN server for that target.

Discovering Targets on a SAN Server and Making Disks Available
