Current Approach for managing the Oracle stack

Operating System is the anchor/association point between Cloud Control and Ops Center

• Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages operating system, database, middleware and applications

• Enterprise Manager Ops Center manages operating system, virtualization, server and storage

Performance Management

• Enable cross-tier management, examples:

• Top-down diagnostics: drill down into storage issues in context of database

• Bottom-up impact analysis: what applications will be impacted if the storage is patched

• Support for Exa, Supercluster, T5-8, M5-6, ZFS Storage Appliance, LDOMs, Zones, etc

• Engineered Systems Patching

• Infrastructure Management to benefit from unified security, software library, job system

Exachk Integration

Exachk proactively scans for the most impactful problems across the various layers of stack in Oracle Database and Exadata

Install, setup, upgrade & schedule Exachk utility from EM

EM shows Exachk results as EM Compliance Standard violations

Customer benefits with Exachk best practices

For more details on Exachk refer to ORAchk/Exachk Master Reference, MOS Doc ID: 1969085.1

Exachk Compliance Results

Enterprise Compliance Results Event is generated for compliance violation

Event type is “Compliance Standard Rule Violation”


Provides ASR capability for Exadata

One emcli command to turn on ASR

View ASR Incidents in EM Incident Manager

Auto create SRs for faults & update SR# to EM

Works for all Systems qualified for ASR

18

Auto Service Request (ASR) Integration: Fault Telemetry


Example of Viewing ASR Incidents in Enterprise Manager


• Virtualized Exadata provisioning involves reliable, automated, and scheduled mass deployment of RAC Cluster

– Includes VMs/DB/GI/ASM

• Create / delete RAC Cluster including VMs/DB/GI/ASM

• Scale up / down RAC Cluster by adding or removing VMs

– Includes DB/GI/ASM

EM Support for Exadata Virtualization Provisioning

Increase Operational Efficiency by Deploying RAC Cluster Faster on Virtualized Exadata

Lessons from Oracle Public Cloud

Enterprise Manager used to monitor entire public cloud

infrastructure

Largest Monitored Site

• Over 2.5 Million Targets

• 51 Exadata, 11k Databases, 150K WLS servers, 900K SOA Composites, 1350 Business Applications, 5k Beacons, 24k Agents

• 3.4 million events processed per day

Leverage groups for everything

• Group of group hierarchies aligned with how they manage targets. Largest group: over 200k targets

• Use System Dashboard to monitor top level groups

• Provides summary counts of target down, critical and warning incidents for each top level group

Set Lifecycle Status for the most important targets

• Guarantees rapid delivery of notifications & creation of incidents/tickets for the most important events

Tight control over metrics & thresholds

• Disable unused metrics

• Put meaningful thresholds on metrics they care about

• Create incidents on important events.

• Use templates to deploy metric settings.

Blackouts at group level, control who sets the blackouts

Over 2.5M targets & 3.4 Million Events per Day
