Imperva Cyber Community

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"

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).

Hi Rukmal,

Thanks for the reply.

I still have questions about lines #4 and #5 above. Therefore, I would appreciate your reply as well.
