is listening on TNS port LP2, then it is possible to automatically discover SID2, provided that
TNS port LP2 is part of the default port list in the Application Setup page.
To discover Oracle RAC:
1. Install the CIM extension on each node in the cluster.
2. If the cluster is not automatically discovered by the management server, create the cluster using
Cluster Manager. For more information about Cluster Manager, see ”Host and Application
Clustering” on page 341.
3. Create the APPIQ_USER account on any one node in the cluster. See ”Step A — Create the
APPIQ_USER Account for Oracle” on page 304.
4. Discover the host for the first node in HP SIM. See ”Step A — Set Up Discovery for Hosts” on
page 299.
5. Discover the first Oracle node as follows:
a. Select Options > Protocol Settings > Storage Essentials > System Application Discovery
Settings.
To select a target, you must have at least one element designated as a server,
workstation or desktop. If you see the message “No Targets Currently Selected,”
change your element from unknown to either a server, workstation or desktop.
Select a target, and click Run Now.
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
