Storage Plugins for Ops Center Storage Discovery

Oracle VM provides for several vendor storage plugins when connecting to iSCSI storage.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center allows for discovery profiles but only has a SunZFS Storage Appliance SCSI plugin in its drop down, not even the Generic iSCSI plugin OVM uses.
Can the Oracle VM plugin be used with Ops Center?
What are the plans to support vendor specific storage plugins for Ops Center?
Is there a development guide for writing a storage plugin for Ops Center?

We had some discussions along the same lines in our organization, and it came down to SA's and DBA's requiring different toolsets and their comfort level with them. Of course, a lot of this was inherited from the hardware being Sun before it was merged into Oracle, but the situation remains. Also, the SA's came to the conclusion to use Ops Center before the DBA's got around to installing their management interface (we came from a script-based management environment) -- that has something to do with it as well.
If you get to start from the ground up, that's a slightly different matter.

Ops Center 12c - discovery of OVM Manager fails

Ops Center 12c - discovery of OVM Manager fails
I am trying to discover OVM Manager and the OC job fails, I noticed that its trying to connected using port 54321 which only listens to localhost.
is there any way to change Ops Center discovery to use port 54322? I followed this process to enable port 54322 (port 54321 will only listen to localhost) http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27308/html/vmiug-manager-tcps.html.

Did you get an answer to this? I am in the similar situation

EM12c , Ops Center plugin missing ?

I recently installed EM12c and I'm following the manual to get the plugin for "Ops Center Infrastructure Stack".
The problem is that there is no "Ops Center Infrastructure Stack" in the list? Is there something I need to do first ? Is there a way I can download the plugin from somewhere else ?
From the manual
Download the Plug-in From the Enterprise Manager Store
This procedure assumes that you are connected to the Internet and describes how to download the plug-in immediately. Alternatively, you can choose to schedule the download to occur at a specified time.
From the Setup menu, click Extensibility, then click Self Update to get the list of updates.
Click Plug-in from the list.
Select Ops Center Infrastructure Stack from the list, then click Download.
Select Immediately, then click Select to start downloading the update.
When the download is complete, plug-in deployment page is displayed.

thanks, I found it !
Also, this morning, the plugin is suddenly available for download in the extensibility > plugins page. This after the auto-update job ran successfully last night (there's a large number of new plugins available). So it does seem that when the manual says the plugin is included with 12c, they meant to say, the plugin is available with 12c after running the auto update job.

Can Ops Center forward or generate SNMP traps?

It's not clear to me what the enterprise controller for Ops Center 11g can do with SNMP traps. The Advanced User Guide says the EC can use "SNMP to discover assets" but that's about the most useful bit of information I can find. Can the EC receive and act on traps from agent hosts? Can it generate its own traps and send them on to a different managment host? If the EC can't do this by default, has anyone tried using any scripts?
Thanks,

the last answer I received was to use the plugin with Oracle enterprise manager grid control / cloud control.
what they didn't say, but it is in the documentation, is that only critical events are shared between ops center and oem. Yes you can see the database targets in ops center, and you can see the infrastructure targets in oem, but notification wise, only criticals. An of course you need to install both the OEM and the ops center agent on the target/asset. I have found that the plugin for ops center 12c and oem 12c doesn't actually send through any information at all, it will probably be fixed in update 1, but who knows.
There is a 3rd party product, Halcyon, that can apparently integrate with ops center. I think they wrote an api.

Ops center SDK

hello, for OEM OC i found this document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27363_01/doc.121/e27340.pdf for tuning monitoring rules. On page 5 the author is mentioning a SDK for ops center, which should be on the EC server e.g. SUNWxvmoc-sdk.pkg, but i can not find this file on my ec. does anybody know where to find/download this package?

Hi 2708924,
I assume your EC is on Solaris Environment and any command is executed by root (or root role).
Try to move in "/var/opt/sun/xvm/update-saved-state" :
For example on my EC
root@myEC # ls -la /var/opt/sun/xvm/update-saved-state
total 25
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     root           7 Mar 31 19:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 30 root     sys           60 Jul 26 04:00 ..

drwxr-xr-x   8 root     root          10 Dec 17 2012 update_satellite_bundle_12.1.1.2076
root@myEC #
Move to latest installed distribution bundle packeges version path:
For example on my installation:
root@myEC # cd /var/opt/sun/xvm/update-saved-state/update_EC_minor_bundle_12.2.0.2663/distribution/xvmoc_update_bundle/packages
root@myEC # pwd
/var/opt/sun/xvm/update-saved-state/update_EC_minor_bundle_12.2.0.2663/distribution/xvmoc_update_bundle/packages
root@myEC # ls -lah SUNWxvmoc-sdk.pkg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     sys         117M Mar 31 19:51 SUNWxvmoc-sdk.pkg
root@myEC #
If you don't find can try executed "find /var/opt/sun/xvm -name SUNWxvmoc-sdk.pkg -print". Go to step 2 at document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27363_01/doc.121/e27340.pdf

Oracle Ops Center blog?

Does anyone from Oracle write a blog on Ops Center? I see the OEM blog (https://blogs.oracle.com/oem/) has occasional references to OC but I can't find a blog for just OC. And are there any third-party blogs on OC?
Thanks,

Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center is part of Oracle Enterprise Manager family . Oracle Enterprise Manager Blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/oem/ covers Ops Center as well. Oracle Enterprise manager Ops Center VP Steve Wilson has a Ops Center specific blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/stevewilson/ . Some already mentioned the facebook page for Ops Center .

Plugin for EMC VMAX fibre channel storage

I am new to Oracle VM and VM Manager. After reading the documentation, I believe that I need a plugin for VM Manager to discover our EMC VMAX Fibre Channel SAN LUNs. As it is now, discovery on its own does not show the LUNs. Where can I get this plugin? I contacted EMC and they know nothing about a plugin.

It will use the Unmanaged FC Storage Array functionality. If you are not seeing your VMAX luns, check that multipathd is started on your Oracle VM Server and that multipath.conf has the correct device {} stanza for the VMAX.

NetApp plugin for OEM 12c - DB is not on NFS mounted storage. DB Storage Perf Report empty

Hi, I have installed NetApp Plugin for OEM 12c (12.1.0.3.1) for a Netapp vFiler used for SMO. "Database Storage Utilization" and "Consolidation Database Storage Performance" empty. "Database is not on NFS mounted storage. Hence, no views available." - a. We are using ASM lun created on NFS. Does this means it will not appear in the plugin report ? - b. If point a. is true, is there a way to make the data appear ? I had already verified the BELOW. Only for point 4, I observed MGMT$DB_DATAFILES."OS_STORAGE_ENTITY" is NA (even though the ASM disk is actually on a NFS mount) : 1. Database discovery is done in EM12c . 2. Go to the database “HOST” target in EM 12c and click on the host target on which database resides. From host target drop down, click on “Host-> StorageDetails”. It will launch the “Storage Details” page. Please refer attached screenshot. There is a table displayed on bottom of screen and click on “File Systems” tab and check that your discovered database storage mount point is shown there. (Please note that whenever you define new mount point on host, this list should reflect the change.), otherwise, Database Performance views will not work. This mount point discovery is updated periodically. (It might be possible that DB views are not working because this discovery might not have finished) 3. Please click on NetApp Storage Target type and go to “Target HomePage drop down ->All Metrics”. Please click on “Volume List” metric and confirm if the volume is listed there on which database resides. 4. If all above steps holds good, please execute the below query on EM 12c repository and send the result: SELECT V2.TARGET_NAME, V1.FILESYSTEM, SUBSTR(V1.FILESYSTEM,INSTR(V1.FILESYSTEM,':')+6, (CASE WHEN (INSTR(V1.FILESYSTEM,'/',1,3) > 0) THEN INSTR(V1.FILESYSTEM,'/',1,3) - INSTR(V1.FILESYSTEM,'/',1,2) - 1 ELSE 100 END)) "VOLUMENAME" FROM MGMT$STORAGE_REPORT_NFS V1, MGMT$DB_DATAFILES V2 WHERE V1.MOUNTPOINT = V2.OS_STORAGE_ENTITY and V2.TARGET_NAME=''

Hi Aik, Change in SQLs will not work. There is lot of code for data discovery.We need to have discovery mechanism integrated in our plug-in for ASM LUNS.ASM LUN based database discovery has been planned to support in future release of plug-ins. Can you please share following details about OEM plug-in usage:1. Company Name2. ONTAP OS (cDOT / 7-mode which version)3. Nature of Databases (Only ASM or NFS based)4. Are your currently using this plug-in for NFS databases? If yes, how it helps to simplify your database administration. We will share your feedback to Product Management for support of ASM.

External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link

We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.
Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
Many Thanks
Claire Crosby-Clarke

Hi,
>Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable >of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.
In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.
We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.
>If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC >Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.

Olivier

OVM 3 Generic Storage Plugin. Acess Group configuration causes server crash

Our iSCSI management is currently entirely done manually at the servers console, because we still don't have a SAN Equallogic storage plugin.
At OVM Manager interface, what we thought being just useless in our case (SAN Access Group), is the actual iSCSI connection (and disconnection..) management for servers.
Following the upgrade to 3.2.1, setting up the SAN did nothing more than what we do manually. But undoing part of it caused the crash.
All over OVM Manager, any operation/setup that could impact running VMs is denied... Except there, at the real root of everything.
Removing a iSCSI initiator from that panel disconnects abruptly the iSCSI disk, !!!! without warning !!!!.
Then, after the 60s timetout, the physical server reboots.
It is still not clear if we get a benefice to setup that "Access Group" of the SAN or not. At least, once setup, we know that we'd better keep it...

Updating OVM 3 host to use "brbond0" vs "xend" managed bridge to allow direct hosting of OVM Manager VM.

i've paid for my icloud storage but now need a vat receipt, where can i get one?

Usually Apple sends an invoice to your mail 1-2 days after your purchase.
You may even search the invoice yourself, but I'm not sure if you will find it before 1-2 days.

Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive ?

Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME. There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.

Sir, We have around 500 items as Insurance Spares in the stores. These spares are checked once in 6 months for their healthiness, storage, etc with a special checklist. We want this checklist an schedule in SAP ( MM). How to do it? Please help.
