4.3 clorapass - Register Password for Monitoring

User: Super user

Format: /opt/FJSVclora/sbin/clorapass

Function

clorapass registers the Oracle SYSTEM user password for PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for Oracle. The detector monitors Oracle instances using the SYSTEM user privileges, so it requires the SYSTEM user password.

If the password is not registered, the detector will use “manager” as the SYSTEM user password.

Execute the command on any one of the nodes. In scalable operation (RAC) with multiple Oracle instances, execute the command for each Oracle instance then set the Oracle SYSTEM user password.

Parameter: None.

Exit status

0: Normal termination

Non-0: Abnormal termination

Execute the command twice then register password for ora1 and ora2 respectively.
