Exalogic Managing Machine - Part 4

Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 

I will make a deal with you:  If you refer me to a company that needs database support, from a few hours per week to full time, and I am able to sign a contract with them.
Then I will give you 10% of the monthly contract or deal price every month.  When the contract ends, and we re-sign the contract, I will again give you 10% of the monthly contract price.  This will go on until the company no longer employs or contracts me or my agents to look after their databases.
I can do this, because that 10% is my marketing budget.  When we re-sign the contract, in the future, it may depend on you giving the thumbs up again, and that is worth 10% of the monthly contract price, to be given to you as commission.


Exalogic Managing Machine  -  Part 4
Infrastructure Networks
If you click on the Networks tab, then you will get the information for the infrastructure networks that are used in the Exalogic machine for communication between the different Exalogic Control Components, and vServers in the Exalogic vDC.

For each infrastructure network you will find the following information:
-> Network Name: This displays the name of the managed network
-> Network CIDR: This displays the type of asset.
-> Partition Key:  This displays the partition of the port.
-> IP Range: This specifies the minimum and maximum boundaries of the IP addresses assigned to the network.
-> Roles: This displays the role.
-> Network Connectivity Table: The network connectivity section displays the infrastructure networks with IPs assigned to the individual hardware components of the Exalogic system.
-> Network Name:
-> Asset Type:

Viewing Unassigned Incidents and Alerts
You can click on the final Tab on the center pane, the Incidents Tab.  On this page you can view all the unassigned incidents and alerts in your Exalogic system.
  



You can view all the incidents from this screen.  You can also take actions to resolve them from this screen.

Viewing the Exalogic Machine Rack
You can view the Exalogic System Rack, the visualization of the rack or the physical layout, aggregated rack components.  You can look at energy data, and other rack details.  As the Exalogic system admin, you can drill down to any asset contained in the rack, such as a compute node, a storage node, a switch, a PDU, and then you can drill down further from that component.

To get to the view of the Exalogic System rack, you need to complete a few steps.
-> On the Navigation pane, under Assets, select Exalogic Systems.
-> Then you must select one of the racks that you want to view.  You will see displayed the:
. rack ID
. Description of the rack
. Schematic view of the assets with the rack.

-> Then you can select one of the displayed components of the asset in the rack and view the asset details.
