Versions Supported

This plug-in supports Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2).

Oracle RAC Database Introspection Parameters

Table C-1 lists the introspection parameters for the Oracle RAC Database introspection plug-in:

Table C-1 Oracle RAC Database Plug-in Introspection Parameters

Parameter	Description
asmHome	This parameter is required if Oracle Automatic Storage Management is used as the storage type and it is installed in a separate Oracle home.
crsHome	The `ORACLE_HOME` of the Oracle Clusterware to be introspected.
dbHome	The `ORACLE_HOME` of the Oracle Database to be introspected.
globalDbName	The global database name of the Oracle Database to be introspected.
shutdownDBOK	This flag that must be passed to approve the database reboot.
sysDBAUserName	Database account with SYSDBA privileges. This parameter is required only if operating system authentication is disabled for the current database.

Oracle RAC Database Introspection Password Parameters

Table C-2 lists the introspection password parameters for the Oracle RAC Database plug-in. When performing introspection using the abctl tool, a prompt is shown to enter values for these parameters. Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder Studio provides password fields for these parameters.

Table C-2 Oracle RAC Database Plug-in Introspection Parameters (Prompted During Introspection)

Parameter	Description
rootPassword	The `rootPassword` parameter is required only if you want to change the permissions of the `ORACLE_HOME` files to make capturing of file sets possible.
sysDBAPassword	Password for the `sysDBAUserName` user. This parameter is required only if operating system authentication is disabled for the current database.

Reference System Prerequisites

The Oracle Clusterware stack must be running during introspection.

Requirements

The following requirements apply to Oracle RAC Database:

The base system image operating system version must match the version of the reference system.

Resulting Artifact Type

A single appliance.

Wiring

For an Oracle RAC Database 11g release 2 (11.2), a single input is created on the Oracle RAC Database appliance.

For an Oracle RAC Database prior to 11g release 2 (11.2), inputs are created on the Oracle RAC Database appliance for each listener or port directive found in the configuration.

Wiring Properties

For an Oracle RAC Database 11g release 2 (11.2), the input endpoint has two editable properties—scan-name and global-db-name—and two non-editable properties—protocol and port—which indicate what sort of output can be connected to the input.

For an Oracle RAC Database prior to 11g release 2 (11.2), the input endpoint has a editable property—global-db-name—and two non-editable properties—protocol and port.

Oracle Database Appliance Properties

Assemblies with an Oracle Database appliance have user properties (Table C-3) and system properties (Table C-4).
