Introduction• Speaker• Provisioning and Automated Patching Pack

Use Case “Out of Box” Procedures Customizing Q & A


Working with Oracle Technology since 1985• Oracle 3/ Oracle11g• DBA, Developer (Designer, Forms, Reports, PL/SQL,

Portal)• Last 6 years

Oracle Consulting Services (Netherlands) Oracle10g RAC / ASM OEM GRID Control

As independent Rabobank Netherlands – Implementation of OEM GRID Control

10.2.0.5 (Monitoring, Configuration Management, Provisioning) Shell – OEM GRID Control Currently ING Bank – Amsterdam – Implementing OEM GRID

Control OEM GRID Control Trainer

Software Library


Use Case is based on experiences at

Rabobank - Netherlands


Let’s say we have a configured Stack Cluster

• n Nodes• CRS Software installed and configured on all

Nodes• ASM Software installed on all Nodes• ASM Instance created on all Nodes• DB Software installed on all Nodes



OEMSoftware Library

DB

Server 1 Server n

Shared Storage

Cluster 1

Server 2

CRS ASM

Clonesfrom OEM Software Library

Next, we want to create a Database Requirements

• RAC Database • ASM Managed Storage Enter Disk Group to be used at runtime

• Use TCP/IP Port 39000 (instead of 1521) – One Listener per Server

• Create default RAC Services• Apply CPU• Register with OID Database, Instances, Services


Requirements (continued…)•Create Target in OEM• Include Target in several Groups (for

monitoring)•Assign access privileges via Role to

Administrators•Apply Monitoring Templates (< 10.2.0.5)•Configure the Tape Management System•Perform 1st Backup


Out of Box Procedures to create Database• Oracle Database Provisioning

Single Instance Database• Oracle Clusterware – RAC Provisioning for

Unix Starter Database Created starter database was to “basic” for the

project’s requirements


As the created “Starter” database did not meet the project’s requirements 100%, we needed to start customizing the “Out of the Box Procedure”

Oracle Clusterware – RAC Provisioning for Unix


2 Types of Procedures (Database Deployment)1. RAC Provisioning Procedures2. Patch Procedures

RAC Provisioning Procedures• Not possible to modify (in the current

release) Patch Procedures

• Not possible to modify (in the current release), except for one….

Patch Oracle Database


As in the current Release Procedure “Patch Oracle Database” gives us most flexibility, we used it as the Base for the Custom Procedure…


Software Library


Custom Procedure focus• Components

Files, Baselines, Golden Images (Ingredients)

• Directives Logic Scripts (Shell, Perl) What to do with… (Recipes)


Create custom Procedure:Create RAC Database

Based on “Patch Oracle Database”• Type 2, so customizable GUI

Create like… Need one Directive

• Related to Script that will create the Database


Need one Directive• From scratch or,

Based on existing Script runDatabaseConfigTools.pl (Out of Box)


Upload the custom Perl Script to the Directive


Activate the Directive


Next we need to create the custom Procedure• Based on “Patch Oracle Database”• Include a Step that will call the created custom Directive


Create like…


Delete all steps…


Insert new Step…


hostForCustomSteps


Insert new Step…


DB_HOME_LOCATION – RAC Database Oracle Home Location – Enter RAC Database Oracle Home Location – Ask User at Run Time

DB_ORACLE_HOME_NAME – Set ValuePUB_NODELIST_ALIAS_VALUE – Node List – Enter comma seperated Node List – Ask User at Run TimeAGENT_HOME – Set Value - %emd_root%DB_TYPE – Set Value – RACIS_ASM_SELECTED – Set Value – trueDB_SID – Database Name – Enter Database Name – Ask User at Run TimeASM_DISK_STRING – Set ValueASM_DISK_LIST – Set ValueASM_RED – Set ValueCLUSTER_ENABLED – Set ValueORACLE_BASE_FOR_DB – Set Value - /u01/app/oracleCRS_ORACLE_HOME_LOC – Set Value - /U01/app/crsORACLE_BASE – Set Value - /u01/app/oracleTEMPLATE_FILE – DBCA Template File – Enter DBCA Template File – Ask User at Run TimeADD_PARAMS – Set Value IS_RECOVERY_FILE_SYSTEM – Set ValueREPONSE_FILE_LOC – Set ValueRECOVERY_AREA_LOC – Set ValueENABLE_BACKUP – Set ValueBACKUP_USERNAME – Set ValueNOTMAL_PASSWORDS – Set Value – trueDG_NAME – Disk Group Name – Enter Disk Group Name – Ask User at Run TimeDBA_ROLE – DBA Role – Enter DBA Role – Ask User at Run TimeDB_UNIQUE_NAME – Database Unique Name - Enter Database Unique Name – Ask User at Run TimeORCL_ADM_USER - Set Value - ORCLADMINOID_HOST - Set Value – <oid server>


That’s all there is… Created a customized Deployment

Procedure• Based on existing (Out of Box)• Created custom Perl Script (taking care of

Business)• Created custom Directive• Created custom Procedure

Next, we can execute the Procedure


Out of the Box Procedures • YES, they do work• They do allow you to use DBCA Template

Files Allows you to control the process

• You might however have some reasons to customize: To meet Organization's Requirements

Disk Groups, Security, Identity Management, Monitoring Templates, etc.

Fully automate tasks


Start using 10.2.0.5• Contains many fixes in the Provisioning area• Several new Deployment Procedures• Default Monitoring Templates• And many other New Features…

Start • Figure out your Requirements• Working with Out of Box Procedures• Training• And…


Gaining enormous benefit, while using the “Provisioning and Automated Patching” Management Pack…


During the Rabobank Project• Instead of a 2 week Procedure to install and

configure the OS, configure and install the Oracle Software and (manually) create ASM Instances and finally creating the RAC Database and manually configure it, perform several manually tasks within OEM, with high risk of Human Errors…


During the Rabobank Project (cont)• Setup of a multi Node Cluster, installation of

OS + OMA (Bare Metal Provisioning) installation of CRS, ASM, DB + setup of ASM Instances on each of the Cluster Nodes, full RAC Database creation and configuration, full configuration of the new Targets within OEM, ending up with full Company Standards compliance in just 4 Hours….

During the Rabobank Project we gave our input to an independent study conducted by Forrester Consulting


Oracle Enterprise Manager Delivers 124% ROI

An independent multi-customer study conducted by Forrester Consulting reveals customers gain significant benefits and cost savings from Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Management Pack and Oracle Enterprise Manager Provisioning and Patch Automation Pack.


The sample organization in Forrester Consulting's study was shown to achieve the following benefits (all figures are risk-adjusted, over three years): * Positive 124% ($4,916,781) return on investment (ROI) * 20% ($862,500) reduction in capital spending on servers * Business productivity savings of $2,555,556 from a reduction in system downtime avoidance and a corresponding increase in availability.
