The Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) RACDB introspection plug-in examines Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC Database components and captures their metadata.
This appendix includes the following Oracle RAC Database introspection plug-in information:
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 |
dbHome |
The |
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 |
|---|---|

The |
sysDBAPassword |
Password for the |
Reference System Prerequisites
The Oracle Clusterware stack must be running during introspection.
The following requirements apply to Oracle RAC Database:
The base system image operating system version must match the version of the reference system.
A single appliance.
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.
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).
