Discovery feature in Oracle EBS Cloud Manager to register Oracle E-Business Suite environments on OCI

In this post I am sharing how we can use a discovery feature of Oracle EBS cloud Manager and check if we make a EBS environment compliant when manually migrating it to OCI.



Source environments can be environments that result from one of the following operations.

  • A manual migration from on-premises to OCI
  • A platform migration from on-premises to OCI
  • An environment initially deployed by Cloud Manager, where either EBS or Oracle Database were upgraded
  • An environment initially deployed by Cloud Manager, where any of the following configuration changes were later made:Addition of a load balancer
  • Addition or deletion of a node
  • Resizing of block volume
Pre-Req: EBS Cloud Manager is already setup




High Level Discovery Process

    1. Meet All Prerequisites
    2. Prepare For Discovery
      1. Enable SSH Connectivity -SSH connectivity must be enabled from the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager instance to all application tier and database tier nodes. To enable this connectivity, log in to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM as the oracle user and copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for the opc user on all nodes that are part of the environment to be discovered.
      2. Create Network Profile-As an Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator, use Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to create a network profile describing the network on which the candidate Oracle E-Business Suite instance is deployed.
      3. Create Stage Directory - Create a directory on the database server to use as the database node stage directory. like /u01/app/oracle/discovery
    1. Submit Discovery Request
    2. Review Discovery Compliance Report
    3. Either Confirm Compliance, or Correct Issues and Resubmit Discovery Request
    4. Register Environment

A compliance report would look like below. If the compliance is not passed we will not be able to register the environment in Cloud Manager like below.
I have done custom setup for migration to EBS cloud manager so my compliance got failed. I would need to do other way to use EBS cloud manager. I will share that in other post.
