When you add an Exadata systems monitored by Enterprise Manager (Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Exadata Cloud@Customer or Database Machine), you'll be able to use Exadata Insights capacity planning features to optimize performance and resource usage.

Prerequisites

  • IMPORTANT: Enterprise Manager configuration (setting up the OCI Bridge) MUST be done first. See Integrating Enterprise Manager with OCI Services.
  • EM Bridge and Object Storage bucket has been set up.
  • Enable Exadata Systems for Ops Insights.
    • Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Exadata Database Machines, and Exadata Cloud@Customer deployments must be monitored by Enterprise Manager.
  • Exadata Insights is compatible with the following versions of Enterprise Manager:
    • On-premises (Exadata Database Machine): Enterprise Manager 13c Release 5 Update 10 (13.5.0.10) and greater
    • Cloud Service (Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure and Exadata Cloud@Customer): Enterprise Manager 13c Release 5 Update 10 (13.5.0.10) and greater

To enable one or more Exadata systems from a compartment for Exadata Insights, log in to OCI and do the following:

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability and Management. Under Ops Insights, click Administration.
  2. From the Ops Insights menu, click Exadata Fleet.
  3. Click Add Exadata System. The Add Exadata System to Ops Insights dialog displays.
  4. Select the Enterprise Manager telemetry.
  5. Select the Enterprise Manager Bridge that contains the Exadata System(s) you want to add from the drop-down menu. If necessary, you can change the compartment where the bridge is located.
  6. Select the Exadata System you want to add from the drop-down menu. Members of the Exadata System are displayed in the Members table.
    Note

    The database and host targets are shown in this table are the only ones which will be created as first-class OCI resources.

  8. All Exadata System members shown in the table will be enabled for Ops Insights. Optionally, you can change the Destination Compartment.
  9. By default, the list of Exadata System members will be automatically synchronized to match the member resources in Enterprise Manager. If desired, you can turn off this feature, however, you will have to manually add members via the Exadata Details administration page if new members are added to the Exadata System.
    Note

    Members will not be automatically disabled or deleted.
  10. Click Add Exadata System. The Exadata details page displays.

Available Actions

Once you've added an Exadata System to Ops Insights, in addition to enabling and disabling the system, you can also add tags and move these resources to different compartments (only Enterprise Manager databases can be moved), change the auto-synchronization settings, and add new members.
