Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and Hosts98
b. Click the Create button for the Database Information table.
c. In the Host IP/DNS Name box, enter the IP address or DNS name of the host running Oracle.
In the Management IP/DNS Name box, enter the IP address the listener is listening on for the
Oracle instance. The IP address can be a virtual IP or a host IP. You can find the IP address in
the listener.ora file for the monitored database. You can find the listener.ora file
in the following directory on the host of the monitored database. Do not look for the
listener.ora file on the management server for this information.
%ORA_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora (on Windows)
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora (on UNIX platforms)
d. In the Server Name box, enter the Oracle System Identifier (SID) of the Oracle database you
want to monitor.
e. In the Port Number box, enter the monitored port.
If you are not sure of the monitored port, check the listener.ora file of the monitored
database application. You can find the listener.ora file in the following directory on the
host of the monitored database. Do not look for the listener.ora file on the management
server for this information.
Microsoft Windows:
%ORA_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora
Unix Platforms:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
The port can be found in the following code:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
)
f. Select ORACLE from the Database Type menu.
g. Click OK.
6. If the conditions described in the “Discovery of Oracle RAC Instances Using One Instance”
section are satisfied, then all the other instances in the Oracle RAC will also be discovered, and
the Oracle RAC application cluster will also be constructed by the management server.
7. If the other instances of the Oracle RAC are not discovered in the previous step, repeat steps 4
and 5 for each node in the cluster.
About Discovery of an Oracle RAC Application Cluster on a Host Cluster Discovered Using Cluster
Manager
When the underlying host cluster is not discovered, the management server will be “Oracle RAC
safe,” but not fully “Oracle RAC aware.” Each instance will show up as a standalone Oracle
application, and data will be collected for each instance separately (even though both instances will
