7.3 About the Grid Infrastructure Management Repository

The Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR) is a multitenant database with a pluggable database (PDB) for the GIMR of each cluster.

Every Oracle Domain Services Cluster contains a Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR). However, GIMR configuration is optional for Oracle Standalone Cluster. The GIMR stores the following information about the cluster:

  • Real time performance data that Cluster Health Monitor collects

  • Fault, diagnosis, and metric data that Cluster Health Advisor collects

  • Cluster-wide events about all resources that Oracle Clusterware collects

  • Workload performance and CPU architecture data that Quality of Service Management (QoSM) collects
