Perform the following steps to configure monitoring for Oracle on a virtual machine using the High Availability Configuration wizard.
To configure monitoring for Oracle
You can use the Search box to search for the Oracle application.
For each listener, you can review the following details:
If you want to remove a listener from the displayed list, select the listener and click Remove.
Cluster systems lists the systems included in the cluster configuration. Application failover targets lists the systems to which the application can fail over. Move the required systems to the Application failover targets list. Use the up and down arrow keys to define the priority order of the failover systems. The local system is selected by default for both, the cluster operations and as a failover target.
To add a system to the cluster, click Add System. In the Add System dialog box, specify the following details of the system that you want to add to the VCS cluster and click OK.
On the Network Details panel, select the type of network protocol to configure the VCS cluster network links and then specify the adapters for network communication.
The wizard configures the VCS cluster communication links using these adapters. You must select a minimum of two adapters per system.
Select Use MAC address for cluster communication (LLT over Ethernet) or Use IP address for cluster communication (LLT over UDP), depending on the IP protocol that you want to use and then specify the required details to configure the VCS cluster communication network links. You must specify these details for each cluster system.
To configure LLT over Ethernet, select the adapter for each network communication link. You must select a different network adapter for each communication link.
To configure LLT over UDP, select the type of IP protocol and then specify the required details for each communication link.
Depending on the IP protocol, specify the following:
By default, one of the links is configured as a low-priority link on a public network interface. The second link is configured as a high-priority link. To change a high-priority link to a low-priority link, click Modify. In the Modify low-priority link dialog box, select the link and click OK.
Note: |
If the application does not use a virtual IP address, you must remove the auto-populated subnet mask entry before proceeding to the next step. |
In the Virtual Network Details panel, specify the IP protocol and virtual IP address for the application.
Depending on the IP protocol, specify the following:
If you want to add another virtual IP address for your application, click Add virtual IP address.
If you want to remove a virtual IP address, click the Remove icon.
If you select multiple instances for the same virtual IP address, those instances are configured in the same service group.
On the Storage HA Inputs panel, specify all the ESX/ESXi hosts to which the virtual machines can fail over. Each ESX/ESXi host must be able to access the required shared datastores that contain visible disks. Enter the administrative user account details for each ESX/ESXi host and click Next.
To specify the ESX/ESXi hosts, click Add ESX/ESXi Host and in the Add ESX/ESXi Host dialog box, specify the following details:
The wizard validates the user account and the storage details on the specified ESX/ESXi hosts.
If the network contains multiple clusters, the wizard verifies the cluster ID with the IDs assigned to all the accessible clusters in the network. The wizard does not validate the assigned ID with the clusters that are not accessible during the validation. recommends you to validate the uniqueness of the assigned ID in the existing network. If the assigned ID is not unique or if you want to modify the cluster name or cluster ID, click Edit. In the Edit Cluster Details dialog box, modify the details as necessary and click OK.
The wizard displays the status of each task. After all the tasks are complete, click Next.
If the configuration task fails, click Diagnostic information to check the details of the failure. Rectify the cause of the failure and run the wizard again to configure application monitoring.
This completes the application monitoring configuration.
If the application status shows as not running, click Start to start the configured components on the system.
