Since 2004 to early 2006, I was involved with this project as the Senior
Database Consultant in the Database Technologies team. We were the first in the world to use Oracle 10g Grid Control Release 1 in production (now on Release 4). Case study link: http://www.oracle.com/customers/snapshots/telstra-em-bbs-case-study.pdf A friend wrote: >Porus: Thank You. What Server Platform [Hardware/Software] Sun-Solaris, >Dell-Linux, HP-Linux, other. Are you able to disclose more detailed >architecture characteristics: number nodes, number instances/database, >load-balancing assignments, memory region allocations, etc We used HP-Red Hat Linux for all 32-bit servers. We had 3 management servers, with 4 CPUs each, and 8 GB RAM. We had 1 database server and 1 Dataguard standby server with the same configuration. We had a pair of Big-IP load balancers, one live, one standby. The load balancers handled the console requests as well as the agent uploads. This configuration was able to achieve the management and monitoring of more than 600 servers and databases at that time, and still growing. Scale-out possible by just adding more management servers and moving the database to RAC. The configuration was fully certified by Oracle who were working with us on-site since it was the first production Grid Control in the world. Another friend wrote: > Thanks - now only if we can convince our clients! Sure you can convince your clients. Just tell them how much automation Grid Control can achieve with its "manage many as one" philosophy. DBAs can achieve a lot more instead of being tied down with the nitty gritty.

Grid Control is a great tool to manage multiple databases in large corporates
and I have been recommending it internally in Telstra in Australia, and to large Oracle clients in India and South East Asia. Some clients require to fully capture all actions performed in the Grid Control console browser window. This is because currently at the unix level they login as the specific user and then sudo to oracle, at the same time a piece of unix software in the background captures all of their actions. They want to do the same in Windows. There curently exists an Auditing system for Enterprise Manager as explained in Chapter 4.5 of the Enterprise Manager Advanced Configuration 10g Release 2 (10.2) guide (B16242-01) but this auditing is only for the purpose of creating new users/jobs in Grid Control and will not audit browser actions, including point and click actions by DBAS on target databases. Even if Grid Control keeps a small log of what the console login is doing, that should be ok. I have heard this security concern voiced by a number of Dbas in the past few years, they are wary of what a junior Dba would be able to do using the point and click.This is why they are loathe to move to Grid Control. So auditing their point and clicks would go some way in allaying their fears. Until Grid Control itself keeps a log, is there any suggestion from anyone as to what can be done to audit browser actions in conjunction with the use of Grid Control?
