Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) Software Requirements

You need root access to install the software and to configure Oracle ASR Manager.

  • Oracle ASR Manager: To install Oracle ASR Manager on a standalone server that is running either Linux or Solaris, refer to "Installing and Registering Oracle ASR Manager Software" in Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) Manager User's Guide.

  • Database Server: Oracle Exadata System Software release 11.2.1.3.1 or later.

  • Oracle Exadata System Software:

    • Release 12.1.2.1.1 and later

    • Release 11.2.1.3.1 and later

  • To configure trap destinations, use one of the following options:

    • Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA): OEDA prompts you for information used to configure Oracle ASR. OEDA configures the traps and activates the Oracle ASR assets.

    • dcli Utility: Refer to the dcli utility chapter in Oracle Exadata System Software User's Guide for instructions about enabling SSH for the dcli utility.

  • Port 162 Availability: Port 162 is the SNMP port. Use the SNMP port to configure fault telemetry destinations. You can assign this port to a different port address based on your network requirements. In a managed environment, you may need to must the port from the default port assignment for Oracle ASR to work correctly.

  • The dcli Utility: While not required for Oracle ASR, the dcli utility enables you to simultaneously configure all of the servers. You can also use dcli to configure the storage servers at the same time.

Refer to the topic "Setting User Equivalence" in Oracle Exadata Database Machine Extending and Multi-Rack Cabling Guide for instructions about enabling SSH for the dcli utility. Depending on your environment restrictions, it is possible that the dcli utility is not configured. See Oracle Exadata System Software User's Guide for more information about the dcli utility.

The dcli utility commands in this document run commands that require equivalency with the root or celladmin user, depending on the command. Ensure that the user account that runs the dcli utility command is configured with the correct equivalency.
