6.24.1 Running Exachk in Oracle Linux KVM Environments

To perform the complete set of Exachk audit checks in an Oracle Exadata Oracle Linux KVM environment, Exachk must be installed in and run from multiple locations.

  1. Run Exachk from one KVM host.
  2. Run Exachk from one guest in each Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) cluster running in Oracle Linux KVM.

For example, an Oracle Exadata Quarter Rack with two database servers containing 4 Oracle RAC clusters (2 nodes per cluster for a total of 8 guests across both database servers) requires running Exachk five separate times, as follows:

  1. Run Exachk in the first guest for the first cluster.

  2. Run Exachk in the first guest for the second cluster.

  3. Run Exachk in the first guest for the third cluster.

  4. Run Exachk in the first guest for the fourth cluster.

  5. Run Exachk in the first KVM host.
