Management Server on Database Servers

9.6.11 Management Server on Database Servers

Management Server (MS) on database servers implements a web service for database server management commands, and runs background monitoring threads. The management service provides the following:

Comprehensive hardware and software monitoring including monitoring of hard disks, CPUs, and InfiniBand ports.
Enhanced alerting capabilities.
Important system metric collection and monitoring.
A command-line interface called DBMCLI to configure, monitor, and manage the database servers. DBMCLI is pre-installed on each database server and on DOM0 of virtualized machines. DBMCLI configures Auto Service Request, capacity-on-demand, Infrastructure as a Service, and database server e-mail alerts.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine Command-Line Interface (DBMCLI) utility is the command-line administration tool for managing the database servers. DBMCLI runs on each server to enable you to manage an individual database server. DBMCLI also runs on virtual machines. You use DBMCLI to configure, monitor, and manage the database servers. The command-line utility is already installed when Oracle Exadata Database Machine is shipped.

DBMCLI provides an integrated client interface to configure Auto Service Request, capacity-on-demand, Infrastructure as a Service, and database server e-mail alerts. It also provides for monitoring of hard disks, CPUs, InfiniBand ports, as well as system metrics and thresholds.
