Requirements for Database Monitor Users:

The Database Monitor is supported for the Oracle Enterprise Server

Version 8.0.5 and Informix Version 7.3.0. Before you begin to monitor

your database services, you must install and have executing, the

following components:

• For Oracle:

— Oracle Net8 (for networking)

— Oracle Intelligent Agent (for SNMP support) and any patches

The HA Database Monitor depends on Oracle Net8 TCP/IP protocol

adapter, the Oracle Intelligent Agent, the Oracle SNMP Master

Agent (master_peer and start_peer), the Oracle database subagent

(dbsnmp), the Oracle Listener (tnslsnr), and the values in the public

RDBMS MIB (based on RFC 1697). For more information, please

consult the Oracle 8 Enterprise Server documentation, particularly

Oracle 8 Installation Guide, Oracle SNMP Support Reference, and

Oracle Net8 Administrator’s Guide.

• For Informix:

— Informix SNMP subagent

The Informix SNMP subagent, onsnmp, can be started by issuing

the following command:

$INFORMIXDIR/bin/onsrvapd -k0 -rall

This command causes the SNMP subagent to remain up even

though the Informix database may be stopped and restarted. The

subagent must be active in order to be able to access the values in

the rdbms public MIB, on which the HA Database Monitor reports.
