Using the Interpreted Cluster

Using the Interpreted Cluster

With the new interpretation type named interpreted cluster, you can define the cluster name to form a relationship between cluster nodes and the respective target database instances. The cluster discovery information, by default is available for Oracle 11g Database Instance (UNIX) and Oracle 10g Database Instance (UNIX) blueprints on AIX and RedHat cluster platforms.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a network profile which includes AIX cluster nodes, service hostname or service IP with the correct credential vault details associated to it.

   Credential Vault of target AIX cluster nodes is not required as SNMP can get the required cluster relationship information.

2. Run the network profile.

   You can get the Cluster nodes and Service Hostname added in the Servers section and Cluster information is available in the Clusters section.

3. Create management profile by selecting the required blueprint pair:
   • Oracle Database 11g (UNIX), Oracle 11g Database Instance (UNIX)
   • Oracle 10g Database (UNIX), Oracle 10g Database Instance (UNIX)
4. Assign this management profile to both the Cluster nodes which are added in Servers section.

   The discovered Oracle 10g or 11g components displays the configuration relationships with the new cluster name added in the Cluster Name column. You can export this relationship to CA CMDB using the catalyst server.
