Requirements for Database Monitor Users:

The Database Monitor is supported for the Oracle Enterprise Server

Version 8, Release 0, Modiﬁcation level 5 or higher. That is, for Oracle

Version 8.0.5 or any later 8.0 version.Before you begin to monitor your

database services, you must install and conﬁgure the following Oracle

components:

• 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

Requirements for Disk Monitor Users:

There are two cases where the Disk Monitor has software requirements:

• NIO Bus: To use the Disk Monitor with disks connected by an NIO

bus, you must conﬁgure the SCSI pass-thru driver, spt0, into the

kernel.

rebuild the kernel, and reboot.

— For HP-UX 11.0, add spt0 to the /stand/system ﬁle, rebuild the

kernel, and reboot. (The SCSI passthru driver is already part of

the 11.0 operating system.)

• Fibre Channel: To use the Disk Monitor with disks connected by ﬁbre

channel, you must already have the SCSI passthru driver installed,

as described in NIO Bus, above. Then, follow the directions below:
