This Presentation…

• Is pretty technical
• Includes several (many) Screen dumps
• Covers OEM 10.2.0.4 – 10.2.0.5
• Gives you an insight overview of: How to … / How it
works
• Is about how we do this at Rabobank

2
Agenda

• Previously at Rabobank…
• Requirements Database in ECO
• Out of the Box procedures
• Customize Directive
• Customize Deployment Procedures
• In the meantime, think about…
• Q&A

3
Previously at Rabobank
• “Manual” Database creation
• Run Database creation script
• Configure TSM – File System
• Discovery of Database in OEM
• Assignment to Monitoring Group
• Assignment of Monitoring Templates
• Assignment to Role
• Configure Backup
• Include in Backup Job

4
Previously at Rabobank
• 2 – 3 Hours to complete
• High risk of Human Errors
• Very hard to force Standards

5
Requirements Database in ECO
• On pre-configured Stack
• Provisioning of Clusterware – ASM – DB
• 1..n Nodes
• Standardized – 1 Preferred – 2 Available
• Specific Disk Group to be used
• Development – Test
• 1 “Large” Disk Group
• Production
• Based on Security Category
• 1 per Application

6
Requirements Database in ECO
• Application of EM Monitoring Templates
• Cluster Database
• Database Instance
• Assign access Privilege – Role
• All necessary Target Privileges are assigned to Role
• Inclusion in Backup Job
• By assignment to Group
• Creation of 2 default RAC Services
• SRV<DatabaseName>ORA
• SRV<DatabaseName>RMN

7
Requirements Database in ECO
• Registration with OID
• Database Unique Name
• Database Instances
• RAC Services
• Listeners were registered in earlier phase
• Registration with OMS
• Cluster Database
• Database Instances
• RAC Services

8
Out of Box Procedures
• Oracle Database Provisioning
• Single Instance Database
• Hard to customize / to modify GUI
• (Use EMCLI to execute DP)
• Oracle Clusterware – RAC Provisioning for Unix
• Starter Database
• Not very efficient
• Hard to customize / to modify GUI
• (Use EMCLI to execute DP)

9
Customize Deployment Proc

• 2 Types of Procedures (Database Deployment)

• RAC Provisioning Procedures
• Patch Procedures
• RAC Provisioning Procedures
• Impossible to modify GUI
• Patch Procedures
• Impossible to modify GUI, except for one….
• Patch Oracle Database

10
Customize Deployment Proc
• General Structure
• Software Library
• Components
• Deploy Software Library Component and associated
Directive
• Directives
• Logic
• Scripting
• Shell
• Perl
11
Customize Deployment Proc
• Create custom Directive
• Upload customized script
• Start with Patch Oracle Database Procedure
• Delete all Steps
• Create „Rolling‟ type Phase
• Creation Database initiated from 1st Node
• Create Step within the Phase
• Create RAC Database and Instances
• Map Properties
• Run Procedure
12
Customize Directives

• Contains
• Arguments
• Static value
• Entered by User at runtime
• Script
• Containing the actual logic

In the meantime, think about…
• Development / Test Environment
• Production Environment
• Deployment of Deployment Procedures ;-)
• $ORACLE_HOME/bin/PARDeploy -action export -guid

“Rabo - CRS / ASM / DB Provisioning - v1.0" -description "This
procedure assists in installing/cloning and configuring a cluster
database (a Real Application Cluster - RAC database) on a selection
of hosts as specified by the Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and
Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide.“

• Perl knowledge

Wrap Up

• Creation of RAC Database and completion of all

necessary tasks in 20 Minutes instead of 2-3 Hours
• Task automation
• Fully standarized
• Multiple executions at the same time
