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.

dashboard, and notice how there are tabs on the top with different types of
information in them.

Uploading and Registering a Server Template
Server templates contain the configuration of an individual
vServer with its virtual disk. Templates
can have the extension or format of .tgz, or .tar, or other file types. In order to upload a server template from a
network you can use HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP network protocols. The network types that the template was on
could include EolB networks, as long as this network is available to the Ops Center Enterprise Controller VM.
You can follow these steps to upload a Server template to
Exalogic Control.
1. On the left navigation pane, click on “vDC
Management”. Then you move to “vDC
Accounts” and click on the name of your account, for example it could have been
“Dept1”. You will see th vDC dashboard
displayed.
2. On the navigation bar at the top. Click on “Server
Templates”. The server templates in
account “Dept1” will be displayed.
3. Under Server Templates, click on the “Upload Server
Template” icon. As an alternative you
could have clicked on “Upload Server Template” below “Operate”, which would be
available on the “Actions” pane.
The Upload Server Template wizard is displayed.
4. Bring the “Identify Server
Template” screen up. On this screen you
can enter a name for the template, as well as a description. It would make sense to add tags as well, to make
it easier to find later on.
5. Click on the “Next” button,
the “Specify Server Template Details” screen is displayed.
6. Next to “Image SubType” click on the “Template” radio
button.
7. Next to the “Upload Source” click on the “URL” radio
button. Then you can go down to the
“Server Template URL:” and enter the URL where the template is located. When you are finished you can click on the
“Next” button.
8. The Summary screen is displayed. Review the summary, when you are satisfied,
you can click on the “Upload” button.
You will see the Server Template listed with the others, on the left
navigation pane under “Server Template”.
9. You can also click on “Server Templates” on the top
navigation bar. You will see the Server
Templates listed, and the one you have just uploaded should also be there.
Making a Server Template Public
The server template is then available to the Cloud Users,
that are assigned to the account that it was loaded into. If you want to make it available to all the
accounts, in the vDC, then you must make it into a Public Template.
1. From the left navigation pane, select “vDC Management”.
2. Under “vDCs”, expand “MyCloud”.
3. Now you can expand “Accounts”, and then select your
account.
4. Now you can click on the “Server Templates” tab.
5. Click on the server template that you want to work
on. Then click on the “Register Server
Template” icon.
6. Clicking on
“Register Template Server” is what changes the value of “Public” to Yes, A
confirmation screen will come up, click on the “OK” button.
7. There should
now be a “Yes” under the “Public” field.
9. If you decided to make this template private again, then
you would select the template, and clidk on the “Unregister Server Template”
icon, after this you just need to follow the recommendations to change it.
