Add an Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure

With a private endpoint defined, you’re ready to add an Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure that uses that endpoint. You can add Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructures from the Private endpoint details page or from the Exadata fleet administration page.

1. Open the navigation menu, click Observability & Management, and then click Ops Insights.
2. In the left pane, click Administration, and then click Exadata fleet.

   The Exadata fleet administration page displays.

3. Click Add Exadata System.
4. Ensure Cloud Infrastructure is selected, and select ExaDB-D.
5. Under Exadata Infrastructure in <compartment name>, select the desired Exadata infrastructure from the drop-down menu. You can change the compartment if necessary. Changing the compartment will query that compartment for valid Exadata Infrastructures.
6. Select the VM cluster and Private endpoint from their respective drop-down menus to change the default values, if necessary. Choose whether to use an Ops Insights private endpoint or a Databases Management private endpoint.
   Note
   
   If you do not have a private endpoint setup, click on Create private endpoint to create one and then continue the steps outlined in this topic.
   You can select the type of cluster you wish to onboard:

   • Regular VM cluster: At least one Container Database must be added (if one was not previously on-boarded). It is required to pull the Exadata metrics. Cell metrics will not be available if no Oracle Databases are located within the cluster.
   • Autonomous VM cluster: Enter the Autonomous AI Database compartments where the Autonomous AI Databases are located.

   Optionally, you may add additional VM clusters or Autonomous VM clusters by clicking on + Another VM cluster, both types of clusters can be added simultaneously.

   Once the Exadata Infrastructure, VM cluster and/or Autonomous VM cluster, and private endpoint have been selected, you have the option of adding member databases now or at a later time. Member databases within the selected VM cluster appear in the Members table.

7. To enable a member Container Database for Ops Insights, you must set the credentials. Select the database you wish to set the database credentials for, click the Actions menu, and then select Set credentials.

   Alternatively you can set the credentials at the cluster level, click Set Credentials for all databases in a VM cluster to display the Set credentials for all databases in VM Cluster panel. This is an optional way to set all database credentials in a cluster in a single action, all databases MUST share the same monitoring credentials to be applied.

8. Enter the required credential information and click Set Credentials.
   Note
   
   The database user should be a common user between the Container Database and all Pluggable Databases within the Container Database. See OCI : Creating the Oracle Database Monitoring Credentials for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Management, Ops Insights and Stack Monitoring (Article ID KB57458).
9. Click Add Exadata System.

   As noted earlier, if you did not enable all member databases while adding the Exadata system to Ops Insights, you can add them on the Exadata details page.

   The newly added system will appear in the Exadata fleet administration page.
