Shard Director Management

You can add, edit, and remove shard directors in your deployment with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

Creating a Shard Director

Use Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to create and add a shard director to your deployment.

1. Open the Sharded Database menu, located in the top left corner of the Sharded Database target page, and choose Shard Directors.
2. If prompted, enter the shard catalog credentials, select the shard director to manage under Shard Director Credentials, select the shard director host credentials, and log in.
3. Click Create, or select a shard director from the list and click Create Like.

   Choosing Create opens the Add Shard Director dialog with default configuration values in the fields.

   Choosing Create Like opens the Add Shard Director dialog with configuration values from the selected shard director in the fields. You must select a shard director from the list to enable the Create Like option.

4. Enter the required information in the Add Shard Director dialog, and click OK.

   Note:

   If you do not want the shard director to start running immediately upon creation, you must uncheck the Start Shard Director After Creation checkbox.

When the shard director is created successfully it appears in the Shard Directors list. You might need to refresh the page to see the updates.
