RAC RDA Setup on AIX
Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) is a Oracle utility used to collect information on RAC configurations. It collects a wealth of information that would otherwise be tedious to collect manually. This includes operating system, network, hardware, database, cluster configuration and logs . This is useful for troubleshooting RAC issues such as node evictions. Once collected this information can then be uploaded to My Oracle Support (MOS) as part of a SR. It also complements Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) which is used to proactively do health checks and help with the speedy resolution of SRs. RDA can be downloaded from MOS.
