Registering or Dropping SAN Servers in the Oracle Audit Vault Server

You can register or drop a storage area network server for Oracle Audit Vault.

Registering a SAN Server

To register a storage area network (SAN) server to the Oracle Audit Vault server, complete this procedure.

In a high availability environment, you can use this procedure to register a SAN server to the primary or the secondary Oracle Audit Vault Server. Note that while you can register the same SAN server to both the primary and secondary Oracle Audit Vault Servers, they must not share (read or write to) the same SAN disks.

Note: Multipath is not supported with ISCSI storage.

To register a SAN server in the Audit Vault Server:

  1. If you plan to use Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) as a target, then ensure that it is not shared with other systems. The iSCSI target must be exclusive to the Audit Vault Server.

  2. Log in to the Audit Vault Server as a super administrator.

  3. Select Settings, and then select SAN.

  4. Select Register, and provide the following information:

    • Register to - (High Availability Only) Select the Primary or Secondary Audit Vault Server.

    • Storage Name - Name for this SAN server

    • IP Address - SAN Server IP address

    • Port - SAN Server port

    • Method - The data transfer method

    • Authentication - If sendTargets is the transfer method, this specifies no authentication, or CHAP (one way). Using CHAP (one way), the Oracle Audit Vault Server is authenticated by the SAN server.

  5. Select Submit.

Dropping a SAN Server

To drop a storage area network (SAN) server from the Oracle Audit Vault Server, complete this procedure.

You can drop a SAN server if none of its disks are in use for storage in the Oracle Audit Vault Server repository. Otherwise, you must first drop the disks from any disk groups that use this SAN server.

To drop a SAN server from the Audit Vault Server:

  1. Log in to the Oracle Audit Vault Server as a super administrator.

  2. Select Settings, and then select SAN.

  3. Select the SAN servers that you want to drop, and then select Drop.
