Monitoring the Database
Oracle8i Enterprise Manager uses agents to continuously monitor database
activities and offer a graphical console allowing administrators to manage the
database. From the Enterprise Manager Console, the administrator can
administer, diagnose, and tune multiple databases. Jobs can also be scheduled,
software can be distributed, and objects and events can be monitored from the
console.
Several steps are required to properly configure the system for Oracle8i
Enterprise Manager. Additional steps are required to integrate the management
of parallel databases. For example, you must do the following:
■ Create an Enterprise Manager Repository on the console node.
■ Obtain sufficient rights on the console machine as well as on the
managed cluster nodes.
■ Install Oracle agents on each managed node.
Be sure to read through the Oracle documentation. For Oracle8i Enterprise
Manager, see:
■ Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator’s Guide
■ Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide
■ Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts Guide
■ Oracle8i Parallel Server Setup and Configuration Guide
■ Oracle8i Parallel Server Concepts
■ Oracle8i Parallel Server Administration, Deployment, and Performance
Oracle8i Enterprise Manager and its corresponding documentation are shipped
as part of Oracle8i Enterprise Edition.
Remotely Managing a Cluster
Oracle8i Enterprise Manager, Compaq Insight Manager, and Compaq
Insight Manager XE can be run from any network client machine that has
network access to the cluster nodes. They can operate on Windows NT Server,
Windows 95, or Windows 2000.
