This section helps you configure the Oracle-based PMDB after you install Precise. This is not a replacement of the content within Installation and Administration. The configuration recommendations help you to fine-tune the PMDB, which then results in faster and more efficient performance.
Prerequisites
Before applying the information in this section, refer to the content within Installation and Administration. We recommend that the PMDB is an Oracle-dedicated instance.
Make sure that you are creating the database with the proper NLS_CHARACTERSET. When the monitored Oracle instances use a multiple byte character set, use UTF8. Note that AL32UTF8 is not supported by the PMDB. The following table specifies the database block size prerequisite.
