Exadata Discovery

[Rick Mann]

Hello Community

Has anyone successfully implemented discovery of Oracle Exadata equipment and environments (http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/exadata/overview/index.html)?

I'm able to discovery the physical computer nodes and classify them as a Linux server, but I'm unable to discovery other components of the environment (storage cells, infiniband switches, PDUs). I've tried looking at the SNMP probe payload when discovering a storage cell, but the only useful information I get back if the name of the cell.

If anyone else is tracking Exadata environments in their CMDB, how are you representing the data? For example, did you set up a new class for storage cells and relate them to a parent physical exadata node? Does it even make sense to have storage nodes, infiniband switches in the CMDB?

Thank you for any help

The answer is what would you do with the data if you had it and how much value is that?

Hello,

i am a newbe, but have a similar question: where in the CMDB do you position the exadata (half or quarter rack) and the dababase servers linked to it. I think I should not see those database servers as "normal" servers, right?

Thanks for feedback.

Anybody have any info on this?

Anyone have success discovering Exadata infrastructure (Compute nodes, switches, storage, etc...)

Hi Rick,

We are planning to bring in the exadata appliances into our CMDB as well. Since you have been working on this, did you find answers to your question? Any suggestions on how to go about this would be very helpful. Thanks
