As a DBA, you
are responsible for adding databases to the
Oracle Enterprise Manager. You will be told
the domain name and server and then you�ll
need to discover the node to your OEM. You
are also responsible for starting and
shutting down a database.
Your tasks
are:
Discovering a
Server Node
Identifying
all of the databases

Preferred Credential Users
Accessing a
database
Changing a
user credential
Shutting down
a database
Starting-up a

Hands-on
On
the Enterprise Manager Console, expand the
nodes.
Notice that there is no node.
In the Navigator menu, click on "Discover
Nodes."
Click NEXT in the Discovery Wizard Window.
Type the node name and click NEXT to start
the discovery wizard. Notice that the
Intelligent Agent must be started in the
machine.
The node was successfully discovered. Then
click FINISH.
The LOCALHOST server was automatically
discovered. Click Okay.
Expand the
LOCALHOST machine.
Check how many databases you have on that
server. There are two.
Check the Listeners item.
Suppress the NODE item and expand the
DATABASES item.
Open the DBS4RMAN database and enter the
username and password.

On the "Configuration" menu, click
"Preferences."
Then, click on the "Preferred Credentials"
tab.
Click on the DBS4RMAN database and change
its role to SYSDBA so you can start and
shutdown the database.
Click Okay.
Suppress the SCHOOL database and expand the

able to startup or shutdown the database.
Disconnect the SYSTEM user.
