The management software for Oracle provides deep visibility into each component that makes up
the Oracle application including Oracle configuration, host configuration, switch configuration,
and storage system configuration. This detailed information is provided at every level.
The management software for Oracle is built on CIM, Web-Based Enterprise Management
(WBEM), and the Storage Management Initiative (SMI) industry standards for heterogeneous
storage network management. The implementation of these standards allows the management
software for Oracle to support all your heterogeneous storage needs and ensures your investments
in infrastructure can be leveraged in the future.

Changing the Oracle TNS Listener Port
The software uses port 1521 by default to communicate with the TNS Listener service on the Oracle
server. If your port is different or you use multiple ports, you can assign a new port number.
IMPORTANT: The hosts should recognize the management server by name, as a reverse look-up is
required by operating system security as well as the Oracle Transparent Network Substrate (TNS).
To change this port number or to add ports:
1. Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > Global Application
Discovery Settings.
2. To assign a new port, click the Create for the Oracle Information table.
3. Type the new port number and click OK.
4. If necessary, click the button to remove the old port number.
5. Run discovery for the elements.
