Defining the associated Oracle Precise for Storage
The procedures describes in this chapter are the same for both the Oracle and SQL servers. |
During the installation, Precise Agent Installer automatically checks if SYMAPI is installed, and which version (required is version 7.2 or higher). For more information, see the How to install and verify EMC Solutions Enabler in a Precise context technical note.
To install Precise for Storage for an Oracle instance
In the Database File field, browse for the EMC Storage Device database (symapi_db.bin) (unless it has already been auto-detected).
This step is mandatory. |
Select or enter the ASM Instance Name, ASM Instance Port, and ASM Instance Home (unless they have already been auto-detected). Enter the ASM user name and password.
The user must have system database administrator privileges. |
If CLARiiON is the attached storage media, the storage agent of Precise for Oracle or Precise for SQL Server needs to be able to run and gather storage array metrics from the CLARiiON on a periodic basis, and therefore Statistics Logging must be enabled via the CLARiiON software Navisphere.
To enable Statistics Logging in CLARiiON
For Symmetrix, Precise now supports native VMFS (VMWARE file system) for virtual storage, with the following prerequisites:
To authorize the VM for the ESX server, perform the following steps:
From the VM, execute the following command:
symcfg auth -vmware add -host <hostname> -username <username> -password <password> -namespace vmware/esxv2 -vmport 0
Where <hostname>
is the ESX host, <username>
is "ESX<root>," and <password>
is "ESX<admin>" on the ESX host.
When the authorization is complete, rebuild the EMC DB by running the symcfg discover script on the VM.
