Explanation/Reference:
The Management Service for Grid Control has a high availability feature called the Shared Filesystem
Loader. In the Shared Filesystem Loader, management data files received from Management Agents are
stored temporarily on a common shared location called the shared receive directory. All Management
Services are configured to use the same storage location for the shared receive directory. The
Management Services coordinate internally and distribute among themselves the workload of uploading
files into the Management Repository. Should a Management Service go down, its workload is taken up by
surviving Management Services. You must choose a shared receive directory that is accessible by all the
Management Services using redundant file storage.
Note:
Oracle strongly recommends you to configure a shared file system loader so that a common location is
maintained to store all the metric data files uploaded by the Management Agents.
