Place Databases Under MxDB-Oracle-HiAv

Control

The Solution Pack includes a demonstration database called PILOT that

you can use to become familiar with the process of placing a database

under MxDB-Oracle-HiAv control and with managing the database via

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv.

Create the Demonstration Database

The Configuration GUI is used to create the PILOT demonstration

database. To invoke the GUI, execute the following command from an

xterm session. You must be the Oracle user or a member of group DBA.

# /opt/polyserve/mxdb_oracle_ha/bin/mxdb -c

The Configuration GUI then appears. The GUI has a certain number of

populated fields. It uses /etc/oratab to offer known

ORACLE_HOME

locations and uses the calling processes’ UID and GID as the presumed

ORACLE_OWNER and group information.

To create the PILOT database under a given Oracle Home, select or enter

the Oracle Home path in the Oracle Home box and then open the

Database Name pull down. Select Create Demo Database Service.
