Discovering the Recovery Appliance

After discovering the Recovery Appliance cluster and cluster database targets, the Recovery Appliance target itself can be discovered. As part of discovering the top-level Recovery Appliance target that will include all Enterprise Manager Recovery Appliance software and hardware management functionality, a separate Recovery Appliance hardware target will also be discovered.

Perform the following steps to manually discover the Recovery Appliance target. These steps apply to Recovery Appliance not in TLS mode.

From the Setup menu in Cloud Control, choose Add Target, then select Add Targets Manually.

The Add Targets Manually page appears.
Select Add Targets Using Guided Process.
From the Target Types drop-down list, choose Recovery Appliance, then click Add Using Guided Process...

The Recovery Appliance Hardware Discovery page appears.
Select Discover new Recovery Appliance hardware components as targets, and click Discover Targets.

The Recovery Appliance Hardware Discovery page appears.
Select the Discover new Recovery Appliance hardware components as targets option and click on Discover Targets.

The Recovery Appliance Hardware Discovery: Infiniband Discovery page appears.
Follow the detailed instructions in all subsequent pages of the Recovery Appliance Hardware Discovery wizard, supplying all requested credentials for hardware components. On the Review page, review all hardware component details, then click Submit. The Database Machine target representing the Recovery Appliance hardware will be created, along with targets for all hardware components.

The Target Creation Summary page appears, showing a summary of all hardware targets created, including the Database Machine target representing the Recovery Appliance hardware and all member targets for all hardware components.
Click Continue With Recovery Appliance Discovery.

The Recovery Appliance Discovery: Properties page appears.
Select the Target Name for the Recovery Appliance. The Recovery Appliance Hardware target name is already filled-in with the target name discovered in a previous step.

(If the Recovery Appliance hardware discovery was completed without completing the full Recovery Appliance discovery process, that may leave one or more Recovery Appliance hardware targets in a state where they are not associated with a Recovery Appliance target. In this case, when Recovery Appliance discovery is re-initiated from the Add Targets Manually page, the discovery process will not automatically go in to the Recovery Appliance hardware discovery wizard. Instead, the process will go directly to the Properties page to allow selection of an unassociated Recovery Appliance hardware target. In this case, the hardware target name will not be pre-filled. Click the Select Target icon to launch the Search and Select Targets popup, which shows a list of Recovery Appliance hardware targets that have not yet been associated with a Recovery Appliance target. Select the correct Recovery Appliance hardware target.)
In the Recovery Appliance Monitoring Credentials section, specify the database user credentials that will be used to monitor the Recovery Appliance.

This can be a named user with the RA$ADMIN role or a named user that has the RA$MON role.

Click More Details to see detailed information about the credentials.
In the Host Credentials section, provide the credentials for a user that has permission to access the Oracle Home of the Recovery Appliance database.
Click Next.

The Recovery Appliance Discovery: Oracle Secure Backup Domain page appears.
If Oracle Secure Backup is installed on the Recovery Appliance, enter /usr/local/oracle/backup in the Installation Home field and specify the monitoring credentials for the Oracle Secure Backup domain. Otherwise, select Skip Oracle Secure Backup Domain Discovery.
Click Next.

The Recovery Appliance Discovery: Review page appears.
Review the target discovery selections, and click Submit.

The Recovery Appliance target is created.
