Oracle Health Checkup Validity Engine/ Remote Diagnostic Agent (HCVE / RDA)

Health Checkup Validity Engine/ Remote Diagnostic Agent (HCVE / RDA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About: RDA HCVE report:
Oracle RDA is a remote diagnostic agent, which is a tool that oracle usually asks you to run in order get a detailed view of your system and oracle configuration. I don't know what the -T hcve parameters do without checking the documentation, but from what I understand RDA just verifies and displays your current configuration and apparently found an issue with your account ulimits that are not set according to oracle recommendation.

I noticed that many DBAs are not aware of the need to run a prerequisite system check before installation of an oracle product. I wil suggest all DBA should run rda report and verify all reports as pre-check.

A) To generate RDA report
=============================
Step-1:  Install RDA software and keep in a mout point (min 1GB space required)
step-2:  Unzip RDA software          >> unzip rda.zip
Step-3:  give execute permissions     >> chmod chmod -R 775 xxx/xxx/rda
Step-4:  run rda.sh             >> ./rda.sh

Note: Read the requests, apply required option as per your availability and licencing. Nearly 60 to 70 options will be asked. if perl available, run perl script: rda.pl; perl -v to check perl is available or not

B) To generate HCVE report
=============================
 Enter into rda directory where rda.sh is available and run the following:

$ ./rda.sh -T hcve








Hope this will help a lot.
