Configuration Management
Cloud Control collects configuration information for all managed targets across the enterprise. Collected configuration information is periodically sent to the Management Repository over HTTP or HTTPS, allowing you to access up-to-date configuration information for your entire enterprise through Cloud Control.
Cloud Control enables you to view, save, track, compare, search, and customize collected configuration information for all managed targets known to Enterprise Manager. Additionally, the Configuration Topology Viewer provides a visual layout of a target's relationships with other targets; for example, you can determine a system's structure by viewing the members of a system and their interrelationships.
Table 23-1 provides a snippet of configuration information collected for a small sampling of target types as an example.

vCPU is a Engineered Systems Management Framework having Virtualization enabled on it to gather data about maximum VCPU used by products or license editions deployed on the system. It reports maximum-vcpu consumed by individual engineered-systems and all engineered-systems of a type for 3 time periods hourly, daily, and monthly. Engineered Systems currently registered with ECM VCPU are:
To enable collection of VCPU data for an Engineered System integrator for the system needs to register with ECM VCPU. Registration happens via MRS using xml. |
