Fiber Channel Based Multipath in Oracle DBSecCentral

Learn about support for multipath in Oracle DBSecCentral.

Oracle Database Security Central supports fiber channel based storage with multipath. The redundant paths in multipath can enhance performance and utilize features like dynamic load balancing, traffic shaping, automatic path management, and dynamic reconfiguration. The connection to the disk can be made through two fiber channel ports.

Here are some important aspects of multipath in Oracle DBSecCentral:

• It is not supported with ISCSI storage.

• It does not support the device xvd*.

• Multipath is supported only for Audit Vault Server installation.

• Multipath is not supported for Database Firewall installation.

• It does not support removable block devices. Check for removable block devices in the system as they can lead to installation failure.

Note:

In case there are removable block devices in the system, the following error may be encountered during Audit Vault Server installation:

ERROR: Failed to check if the disk is in multipath
