One Console Management of RAC Clusters
The Voltaire Grid Control Plug-in enables users to monitor and analyze InfiniBand fabric performance in an Oracle RAC environment, create reports, and set alerts for exception conditions from the Grid Control console. By integrating into existing Grid Control deployments, the Voltaire Grid Control Plug-in lowers operations costs and eliminates the need for new management tool training.
Oracle database administrators can now reduce downtime and shorten time to resolution of I/O issues and their impact on database instances from one central location.
The Voltaire Grid Control Plug-in provides:
Central I/O and Interconnect Management: The Voltaire Grid Control Plug-in provides InfiniBand-specific information, obtained from the InfiniBand Subnet Manager, showing fabric availability, performance and health. All fabric devices in the fabric are managed as part of the same Grid Control “Target”, using an efficient central mechanism that gathers and aggregates information without exiting the Grid Control interface.
Efficient Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Voltaire's Grid Control Plug-in polls the ports of all switches and hosts in the fabric, and provides detailed information on traffic load and potential bottlenecks, as well as port errors and device health information.It also deisplays traps generated by device-oriented SNMP alerts due to physical failures and critical fabric events.
History and Detailed Reports: Using Grid Control data management capabilities, Oracle database administrators can obtain detailed historical information and produce management-level reports on fabric performance and health.
Voltaire's Grid Control Plug-in was developed with support and validation by Oracle.
