What to do next
n
Click Administration and select Machines Manager > Additional Components > VCM for Oracle and
verify that the discovered configuration information is correct and that it includes an Oracle Collection
User. If the information about the instance does not include a valid Oracle Collection User value, see
"Edit Oracle Instances" on page 133. If the instance is not included in the data grid, see "Add Oracle
Instances" on page 134.
n
If VCM discovered your Oracle instances and the Oracle Collection User account is correctly configured,
collect data from the target instances. See "Collect Oracle Data" on page 137.
Edit Oracle Instances
You edit Oracle instance configuration to modify the discovered or added values for Oracle Home, Oracle
Software Owner, DBA Group, and Oracle Collection User.
To collect from Oracle instances, the target instances must have a configured Oracle Collection User
created on the instance.
Prerequisites
n
Add, license, and install the Agent on Solaris machines hosting Oracle instances. See "Discover, License,
and Install UNIX/Linux Machines" on page 111.
n
Collect from the target Solaris machines using the Machines - General and Oracle - Management Views
data types. The collection process discovers Oracle instances from the oratab file on Solaris machines.
See "Discover Oracle Instances" on page 132.
n
Verify that the collected configuration information is correct and that it includes an Oracle Collection
User. Select Administration > Machines Manager > Additional Components > VCM for Oracle and
review the data grid values. If the instance is not in the data grid, add the instance. See "Add Oracle
Instances" on page 134. If the information about the instance does not include a valid Oracle Collection
User value, edit the instance to update the configuration information.
Procedure
1. Click Administration.
2. Select Machines Manager > Additional Components > VCM for Oracle.
3. Select the target instances and click Edit.
4. On the Select Machines page, verify that the target Oracle instance machines are in the selected
machines list and click Next.
