I have two assets hosting a database cluster:Server 1 hosts DB01 which load balances to 4 database servers Server 2 hosts DB02 which load balance to 4 database serversI ran a scan on both servers. The results showed that Server 1 discovered 0 databases, while Server 2 discovered DB02.How can I confirm whether this behavior is expected?Additionally, I have a few questions:How can I verify that there is already a link/relationship between the two cluster nodes without performing a failover test? From the database side, there is supposed to be a floating hostname that redirects connections to the active node. However, during discovery, we only detected the hostname of one of the databases instead of the floating hostname. Is this the expected behavior? How will password rotation be handled in this clustered setup?

Oracle DB Cluster Onboarding

I have two assets hosting a database cluster:

I ran a scan on both servers. The results showed that Server 1 discovered 0 databases, while Server 2 discovered DB02.

How can I confirm whether this behavior is expected?

Additionally, I have a few questions:

How can I verify that there is already a link/relationship between the two cluster nodes without performing a failover test?

Hi @AlaaKH ,

The scan wouldn’t be the method to onboard these databases. The following KB discusses what is needed to set up an Oracle DB Cluster: https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0018594.
