Using Network Manager

Before beginning to define an Oracle network using Network Manager, you’ll need to collect the answers to some basic questions, including the following:

  • What protocols will be supported?

  • Will the MultiProtocol Interchange be used?

  • How will you name your Oracle services?

  • Will you use Oracle Names?

  • What are the physical or logical addresses of the servers in your Oracle network?

  • What are the SIDs (instance names) of the databases on each server?

Once this information is available, you can begin defining your network. Network Manager easily walks you through the configuration process. After starting Network Manager, choose the “new” option from the “File” menu, and answer “yes” to the prompt that asks “Would you like to walk through configuration of a network definition?” From this point on, you can simply answer questions on the screen and provide the necessary information to complete your configuration.
