HP StorageWorks P9000 Disk Array Plug-in Software for Oracle Enterprise Manager Integration Guide (5697-0837, March 2011)
2 Prerequisites
This section lists the prerequisites that are required before deploying the plug-in.
Plug-in host configuration prerequisites
The plug-in host requires the Oracle Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EMCLI) and HP
RAID Manager library.
• EMCLI installation and configuration
The EMCLI must be installed on the plug-in host. Installation and user documentation is available
from Oracle at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html
On the plug-in host, download the EMCLI client kit from the Grid Control installation. Ensure
that the host is equal to where the OMS is installed. A sample command follows:
HTTP(S)://host:port/em/console/emcli/download The emclikit.jar
The emclikit.jar file is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/jlib directory of the
Grid Control Oracle Management Server home.
NOTE: Enter the following to set up the EMCLI: ./emcli setup
-url=http://myworkstation.us.oracle.com:em_port/em -username=em_user.
After a successful installation, the Emcli Setup Successful message appears.
• RAID Manager library installation and configuration
Ensure that the latest RAID Manager library is installed on the plug-in host.
The RAID Manager library command devices must be configured and presented to this host.
The plug-in executable uses the RAID Manager library interface to gather information from
the XP disk array.
If the plug-in monitors multiple disk arrays one command device for each disk array must be
presented to the host. Only one command device must be configured from each disk array.
• Command device ownership to the Oracle agent user account must be provided for read and
write access. For example for the command device:
/dev/rdsk/cxtydz
Use the following HP-UX command to provide access:
# chown oracle:dba /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
# chmod 660 /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
Managed host configuration prerequisites
Ensure that the managed hosts have unique node names and current HP–UX patches.
• Unique node names
All the nodes managed by the Oracle Enterprise Manager need a unique node name. Use
the HP-UX command:
uname -n
on all the nodes to ensure the names are unique.
