Promoting Targets

To promote targets so they can be managed:

  1. Log in to Enterprise Manager.
  2. Choose Setup, and then Configure Auto Discovery.
    The Setup Discovery window opens. Go to the Targets on Hosts tab.

    Figure 4-7 Setup Discovery window

    Start promoting target systems by navigating to the Setup Discovery window.
  3. For the host on which the discovery was run, click on the number that is in the Discovered Targets column.

    Figure 4-8 Choosing a target

    Navigate to the list of discovered target systems that are not yet promoted.
  4. A list of targets that were discovered but not yet promoted is displayed. Select the target you want to promote, then click the Promote button.

    Figure 4-9 Promoting the target

    Choose the target system to be promoted.
  5. All related members of the target system are shown and promoted at the same time. Click the Promote button.

    Figure 4-10 Unmanaged system targets

    Initiate the promotion and management of the selected target system.
  6. A confirmation dialog appears when the promotion is successful.

    Figure 4-11 Confirmation dialog

    Confirm the successful promotion of the selected target system.
  7. Click Close to dismiss the confirmation dialog.
  8. If any changes are made to the environment configuration using the command-line utilities (e.g., configureEnv.sh/cmd), the corresponding changes must also be made to the target properties. The quickest way to do this is to remove the target and perform the discovery and promotion process. You can also make changes by choosing Target, and then Setup, and then Monitoring Configuration and making the appropriate updates on the UI page.

    Navigate to the Monitoring Configuration page to make changes to the target properties if command line utilities were used to update the environment configuration.
