ORAchk Health Checks For The Oracle Stack - ORAchk 2.2.5


ORAchk replaces the popular RACcheck tool, extending the coverage based on prioritization of top issues reported by users, to proactively scan for known problems within the area of:

1. Oracle Database
2. Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
3. E-Business Suite
4. Oracle Sun Systems

ORAchk features:
=============
1. Proactively scans for the most impactful problems across the various layers of your stack
2. Simplifies and streamlines how to investigate and analyze which known issues present a risk to you
3. Lightweight tool that runs within your environment without requiring config data to be sent to Oracle
4. High level reports show your system health risks with the ability to drill down into specific problems and understand their resolutions
5. Can be configured to send email notifications when it detects problems
6. Collection Manager, a companion Application Express web app, provides a single dashboard view of collections across your entire enterprise

16 of the included audit checks require root privileged data collection . If sudo is not configured or the root password is not available, audit checks which  require root privileged data collection can be skipped.

1. Enter 1 if you will enter root password for each  host when prompted
2. Enter 2 if you have sudo configured for oracle user to execute root_orachk.sh script
3. Enter 3 to skip the root privileged collections
4. Enter 4 to exit and work with the SA to configure sudo  or to arrange for root access and run the tool later.

Please indicate your selection from one of the above options for root access[1-4][1]:- 1
 

*** Checking Best Practice Recommendations (PASS/WARNING/FAIL) ***

Collections and audit checks log file is

Running orachk in serial mode because expect(/usr/bin/expect) is not available to supply root passwords on remote nodes

NOTICE:  Installing the expect utility (/usr/bin/expect) will allow orachk to gather root passwords at the beginning of the process and execute orachk on all nodes in parallel speeding up the entire process. For more info - http://www.nist.gov/el/msid/expect.cfm.  Expect is available for all major platforms.  See User Guide for more details.
