Mr. Greens Challenges

• User requests for more capacity • Reports on existing capacity • Storage • Memory • CPU Utilization

If a build process can’t be repeated exactly the same

each time, is it reliable? - A Smart Man

Mr. Greens Challenges

Our Mr. Green is an IT Manager at Acme, Inc. whose day is usually… !

• Filled with Meetings • Has to Services Requests from Customer Base (Internal or External) • Customers who want

To  onboard  more  applications

Need  more  CPU  Power

Agenda

LICENSES !Provisioning, in addition to a Database License, requires the Database LifeCycle Management Pack.

Pieces for Provisioning

A SERVER New or existing server Already an EM12c Managed and Monitored Target

If yes, then great! If not, then deploy an agent to it

Pieces for Provisioning

SOFTWARE LIBRARY !One of the core features offered by Enterprise Manager Cloud Control

A repository which stores Software Entities • Virtual Appliance Images • Reference Gold Images • Application Software • Associated Directive Scripts

!In addition • Maintain Versions • Maturity Levels • States Of These Software Entities

Pieces for Provisioning

Privilege Delegation Settings • Allows you to run Deployment Procedures using

authentication utilities such as • SUDO • PowerBroker

Advantages? • flexibility to use either SUDO or PowerBroker • Can run PowerBroker in a password-less/password-

protected mode. • Create a template with these Privilege Delegation • Can be used for Jobs in EM • Privilege Delegation can read passwords from both

STDIN and TTY.

Pieces for Provisioning

CREDENTIALS !Identity information stored in Cloud Control • Used to access targets • Users can save username/password with a unique name called Named Credentials • Oracle • Root

!Named User Credentials • Privileged Credentials

Pieces for Provisioning

ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNTS

Designer • Designers are lead administrators • Designers are responsible for performing all the design-time activities like:

• Creating the provisioning profiles • Creating components, directives, and images • Customizing the default deployment procedures • Creating patch plans and patch templates.

Operator • Have restricted privileges • Operators use the infrastructure to perform run-time activities like:

• Accessing the provisioning profiles • Launching software deployments • Patching software deployments !

Or just use Super Admin/SYSMAN account!

Pieces for Provisioning

PROVISIONING PROFILES !Provisioning Profile is an entity that contains software bits and configuration. • Can be created from existing installations • Clone Grid Infrastructure • Oracle Database • Create Database Templates

!Create one-time, and use for mass deployments!!

Provisioning plays a large part in EM12c !Other useful features include • Baremetal Provisioning • Middleware Provisioning • Self Service Portal • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) • Database as a Service (DBaaS) • Schema as a Service • Platform as a Service (PaaS)

!These features leverage templates and profiles for consistent builds.
