You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager with a client browser to monitor the status of both Oracle Clusterware and the Oracle RAC environments. Monitoring can include such things as:
Notification if there are any VIP relocations
Status of the Oracle Clusterware on each node of the cluster using information obtained through the Cluster Verification Utility (cluvfy
)
Notification if node applications (nodeapps
) start or stop
Notification of issues in the Oracle Clusterware alert log for OCR, voting disk issues (if any), and node evictions
The Cluster Database Home page is similar to a noncluster Database Home page. However, on the Cluster Database Home page, Oracle Enterprise Manager displays the system state and availability. This includes a summary about alert messages and job activity, and links to all the database and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) instances. For example, you can track problems with services on the cluster including when a service is not running on all of the preferred instances or when a service response time threshold is not being met.
