Before adding an Exalytics machine target, you must meet the following prerequisites:

• A Management Agent for discovering targets must be deployed onto the physical Exalytics machine (host).

  For discovering a virtual machine, make sure that at least one of the virtual Exalytics has a Management Agent running on it. The Management Agent should be on one of the VM Guest part of the virtual Exalytics Machine deployment. However, all virtual machines that contain components that need to be monitored require a Management Agent to be deployed on.

• To identify the Exalytics machine, ensure that you have the context info file which contains the Exalytics machine ID.

• To discover and monitor ILOM for a virtual Exalytics machine, you must install IMPITOOL on the VM guest. To install IMPITOOL, follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest Hardware Management Pack compatible with the operating system on your VM guest. Instructions for downloading the Hardware Management Pack are available here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/servermgmt/downloads/index.html

  2. Extract the IMPITOOL package from the downloaded zip file and install it on the operating system on the VM guest.
