>>> >>>We painfully made 9i OEM work...but 10g OEM kicks A$$! It >>>really does. >>>Agent auto-connecting... Built in policy violations.. that is a long list of exiting things OEM can do. But I still don't see a richness of cluster database drill down. Here's an example. Use OEM to answer this one: "I have an 8 node cluster, 3 databases (OLTP,DSS,DEV) with varying instance counts and some node overlap, I have a mix of OLTP and DSS. I need to get the average I/O latency for LGWR on a per-instance basis for the OLTP instances (database OLTP) and the aggregate of MB/s scanned with PQO only on the DSS instances (database DSS). " Ok, go...but if you can't use OEM to answer that one, I know how it can be answer with the execution of one single command. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
