23.3.02 OEM View - RAC


The BMC Helix Continuous Optimization OEM View - RAC page is designed for presenting the capacity status of the Oracle Real Application clusters and its instances. There are two tabs Database RAC for Oracle oracle real application cluster entities and Rac instances for Rac instance entities.

Each tab has a overview table to show the status of the entities.

Database RAC

Database RAC tab shows the Oracle RAC entities. In the summary page, there's a RAC table. 

The table below summarize the information that is provided by the tab, by selecting hidden columns, you can see all the provided columns:

Column Name

Description

DB_NAME [LASTVAL]

DB Product Version

Database product version

DB_PRODUCT_VERSION [LASTVAL]

DB Total Allocated Size [GB]

The already allocated space for data, logs and control files

DB_TOTAL_ALLOCATED_SIZE [95th]

DB Total Used Size [GB]

The amount of used space within the allocated space

DB_TOTAL_USED_SIZE [95th]

DB CPU Used Pct [%]

Database RAC - Detail page

By clicking each cluster name, the database RAC - detail page is shown:

In this detail page, there are two metrics trend chart 

  • DB USED CPU (DB_CPU_USED)
  • DB TOTAL VS USED SIZE (DB_TOTAL_USED_SIZE, DB_TOTAL_ALLOCATED_SIZE)

There's a link "RAC Instance list" to RAC Instance summary pages which shows all database servers that are in the cluster.
