3.2.2.3.1 Know the distribution of fleet across various database server configurations

Purpose: Understand the distribution of your fleet across different configurations of database servers, such as Exadata Image Version and Hardware Model Distribution. This insight helps in making informed decisions about:
  • Patch and Bug Prioritization: Target updates and fixes based on the configuration spread within your fleet.
  • Capacity Planning: Assess current capacity and plan for future needs according to the distribution.
  • Fault Tolerance: Identify potential vulnerabilities and enhance fault tolerance across configurations.
  • Resource Allocation: Optimize resource distribution based on the configuration details of your servers.

3.2.2.3.2 Identify the most commonly used operating system/version across your database servers

Purpose:
  • Optimize Performance: Ensure consistency in the operating system environment to streamline performance tuning and troubleshooting.
  • Enhance System Management: Standardize configurations across your fleet to simplify management tasks and improve security by addressing specific vulnerabilities related to common operating systems and versions.

3.2.2.3.3 Identify the most common range of memory sizes across your database servers

Purpose:
  • Performance Optimization: Ensure that memory resources are appropriately allocated to meet the performance requirements of your database operations.
  • Troubleshooting: Address performance issues by analyzing memory usage patterns and adjusting configurations as needed.
  • Cost Management: Manage costs by aligning memory allocations with your performance needs and avoiding over-provisioning.
