Attribute definition for the ASMDG agent
The ASMDG agent attributes are classified as required, optional, and internal.
You must assign values to the following required attributes.
Table: Required attributes for ASMDG agent
Required attributes | Type and dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
DiskGroups | keylist | The ASM disk groups, where you store the Oracle database files. |
Sid | string-scalar | The variable $ORACLE_SID that represents the ASM instance. The Sid is considered case-sensitive by the ASMInst agent. |
Owner | string-scalar | The Oracle user who has privileges to mount or unmount the ASM disk group. The agent also supports LDAP users as Oracle user. |
Home | string-scalar | The $ORACLE_HOME path to Oracle ASM binaries and configuration files. For example, you could specify the path as /opt/ora_home. Note: Do not append a slash (/) at the end of the path. |
You can configure the following optional attributes if they are necessary for your configuration.
Table: Optional attributes for ASMDG agent
Optional Attributes | Type and Dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
DBAUser | string-scalar | The ASM user who has sysasm privileges to start or stop the ASM instance. |
DBAPword | string-scalar | Encrypted password for DBAUser. Encrypt passwords only when entering them using the command-line. Passwords must be encrypted using the |
EnvFile | string-scalar | The full path name of the file that is sourced by the entry point scripts. This file contains the environment variables set by the user for the Oracle database server environment such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, NLS_DATE_FORMAT, and so on. The syntax for the contents of the file depends on the login shell of Owner. File must be readable by Owner. The file must not contain any prompts for user input. |
Encoding | string-scalar | Specifies operating system encoding that corresponds to Oracle encoding for the displayed Oracle output. Default is "". |
The following attribute is for internal use only. Arctera recommends that you do not modify the value of this attribute.
Table: Internal attributes for ASMDG agent
Optional Attributes | Type and Dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
AgentDirectory | static-string | Specifies the location of binaries, scripts, and other files related to the ASMDG agent. Default is /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/ASMDG. |
