Register FPP Server and Client

Once the FPP server and client are provisioned, register them in Oracle Enterprise Manager. These steps are for the existing FPP servers and clients that are not yet registered in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Note:

If you provisioned your FPP server and client using the steps outlined in Provision an FPP Server and Client, you can skip the below steps since the server and client are already registered.

Discover the FPP Server host/cluster as well as all the clusters where the FPP client will be deployed as host/cluster targets in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

You can discover targets in Oracle Enterprise Manager by configuring auto-discovery, or by using either a guided or a declarative discovery process. See Discovering and Adding Host Targets in Enterprise Manager Monitoring Guide.
