Alarm SMS messages and emails are being sent by the performance monitoring system to the production DBA team and the development team alerting everyone that the latest release of a critical business application and the underlying databases are grinding to a halt.

  • The developers, QA team, and DBAs all point fingers at each other.
  • The developers say "My code is perfect. It passed all of the unit, system and load tests".
  • The QA team says "we tested and certified the code, the SQL, and the database".
  • The DBAs say “the production servers are configured according to the specifications and have all of the latest updates.”

IOUG Oracle EM SIG Techcast: Managing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c with Oracle Clusterware
Tuesday, January 28, 2014
12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m. CST

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c provides a complete monitoring framework for applications, middleware, and infrastructure. Configuring it for high availability is recommended to ensure continuous monitoring. A level-2 HA configuration provides this ability while reducing costs. Such a configuration has multiple management service hosts with a shared file system. The management service can fail over to any available host. Oracle Clusterware is the glue that enables seamless failover of not only databases but also applications.

This presentation details the steps required to configure virtual host names and create an Oracle Clusterware resource for Oracle Enterprise Manager to provide seamless failover and improved high availability levels.

Featured Speaker: Leighton Nelson, Associate Principal Database Administrator/Oracle ACE
