Which two statements are true regarding the use of Auto Service Request (ASR) with an X6 Database
Machine?
A.
The database server ILOMs must use SMTP over the management network for notifications to ASR
Manager.
B.
The database server ILOMs must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for
notifications to ASR Manager.
C.
The storage server ILOMs must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for
notifications to ASR Manager.
D.
The database server MS process must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for
notifications to ASR Manager.
Explanation:
B: Database Server ILOM plug-in
Monitoring databases and their instances, ASM environments, the Grid Infrastructure, and the host software environment are done by Enterprise Manager in the usual way as these are standard targets. But monitoring the hardware for the database servers requires the ILOM plug-in, as there is no Management Server (MS) on the database servers to receive SNMP traps from the ILOM. The plug-in will receive sensor state and availability data from the ILOM including alerts based on pre-set ILOM thresholds.
C: Exadata Storage Server plug-in extends the monitoring of exadata cells in addition to providing a GUI interface. The plug-in uses an SSH connection to the cellmonitor user on the cells and uses list commandsonly. This is for interactive monitoring. One may also set thresholds using the plug-in which are distinct from any thresholds set using cellcli utility as the celladmin user. For alerts to be sent to the plug-in, SNMP traps are used as follows:
Cell ILOM alerts are sent to the cell Management Server (MS) via an SNMP trap. The MS then send SNMP
notifications onward to the plug-in.
Cell alerts flagged by MS itself, such as cell thresholds being exceeded, or ADR software alerts, are sent to the plug-in using SNMP.
