    Hello Community Team Members,

    We have a question about installing the DAM agent on an ORACLE RAC 19c 3-node cluster. Additional information about this Oracle RAC database server is as follows:

    ORACLE RAC CLUSTER Type is : "oracle RAC 19c 3 node cluster"

    Sr. No.

    DB Server IP Address

    DB Server Hostname

    OS type with Version

    DB type with Version

    OnPrem/GCP

    1

    10.x.x.159

    lmsdb1

    RHEL 7.9

    oracle 19c

    on Prem

    2

    10.x.x.160

    lmsdb2

    RHEL 7.9

    oracle 19c

    on Prem

    3

    10.x.x.161

    lmsdb3

    RHEL 7.9

    oracle 19c

    on Prem

     

    The three IP addresses listed above correspond to a single Oracle database server that is running as a "three-node RAC cluster." However, I would like more specific information about the following:

    ~> Every database server in the cluster must have the Imperva agent installed on it(Based on information provide on this article: Imperva Documentation Portal). Alright, so after how many server groups, services, application do we need to define? Since each of the three on-prem instances mentioned above is for a single database server, how can I apply policy (security/audit) on it? 

    ~>  Is there anything else we can do to it?

    ~>  What settings should we apply to make these three instances function as a single database?

    ~>  If we define a scan on it in the future, which of the three instances listed above can we define the scan on?

    ~>  Based on information provided in this article: Imperva Documentation Portal. We need more information on how to configure connection string and more detailed steps to use this connection string into the related MX main task.

    You should be able to put everything under one server group since they represent the same DB. The audit/security policies would also be created considering the DB instead of individual nodes (unless you have a particular requirement to do so).

    Based on information provided in this article: Imperva Documentation Portal.

    We need more information on how to configure the connection string and step-by-step instructions on how to use this connection string in the associated main MX task.

    Dear Community Team Members,

    Can someone please tell us how to define the connection string for Oracle RAC in the Imperva Management Server admin task according to the article provided? Configuring connection strings in the Admin Workspace.
