+# Configure & Validate Notifications for Monitoring ECPU Scaling changes
+
+
+## Introduction
+
+This lab walks you through the steps to configure & validate notifications for monitoring ECPU Scaling changes.
+
+**Estimated Lab Time:** ***15 minutes***
+
+**How Notifications Work?**
+
+The OCI Notifications service communicates when something happens with your resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
+
+The Notifications service lets you to set up communication channels for publishing messages using topics and subscriptions. When a message is published to a topic, the Notifications service sends the message to all of the topic's subscriptions.
+
+
+
+**Notifications Concepts**
+
+The following concepts are essential to working with OCI Notifications Service:
+
+***Notification*** - A configuration for sending messages, such as an alarm or event rule. Each message is sent to subscriptions in the specified topic.
+
+***Subscription*** - An endpoint for a topic. Published messages are sent to each subscription for a topic.
+
+ You can get human-readable messages through supported subscription protocols:
+
+ * **Email**
+ * **Function**
+ * **HTTPS (Custom URL)**
+ * **PagerDuty**
+ * **Slack**
+ * **SMS**
+
+***Topic*** - A communication channel for sending messages to subscriptions. Each topic name is unique across the tenancy.
+
+***Event Rules*** - When triggered, an event rule sends an event message to the configured topic. Notifications then deliver the message to active subscriptions.
+
+***Database Service Events*** - Database Service Events enables you to be notified about health issues with your Oracle Databases or other components on the Database Cloud Service.
+
+**Create Events Rule to Create Notification Automation for Database Service Events**
+
+The Database Service Events feature implementation generates events for Data Plane operations and conditions and Notifications by leveraging the existing OCI Events service and Notification service. Users can subscribe to the Database Service Events and receive notifications. To receive notifications, subscribe to the Database Service Events and get notified using the Oracle Notification service.
+
+### Objectives
+
+- After completing this lab, you should be able to configure notifications and events rules for monitoring ECPU Scaling changes for Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+This lab requires completion of the following:
+
+* Completion of **Lab1**
+* Required IAM Policies for [**Managing Topics and Notifications**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Security/Reference/notifications_security.htm#iam-policies) and [**Managing Events**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/policyreference/cloudeventspolicyreference.htm)
+
+## Task 1: Configure Notification Topic and Subscription for Enabled ECPU change
+
+1. Open the navigation menu and click **Developer Services**. Under **Application Integration**, click **Notifications**.
+
+ 
+
+2. The **Topics** page is selected by default, select your Compartment and Click **Create Topic**.
+
+ 
+
+3. Provide the Topic name. For this lab, use ***MyExaDBXSTopic*** for the Topic name.
+
+ 
+
+4. Click **Create**.
+
+ 
+
+ Once the Topic has been created, you will see the created Topic with the state of ***Active***.
+
+ 
+
+5. Click the name of the Topic you created to open the **Topic Details** page.
+
+ 
+
+6. On the Topic Details page, click **Create Subscription**.
+
+ 
+
+7. In the Create Subscription panel, for **Protocol**, select ***Email***. Provide your ***Email Address***, then Click **Create**
+
+ 
+
+ >**Note:** Notifications creates the email subscription and sends a confirmation URL to your assigned email address.
+
+ The subscription is ***pending*** until confirmation is received.
+
+ 
+
+8. Open your assigned Email, Check for the ***OCI Notifications Service Subscription Confirmation*** email, and Click the ***Confirm subscription*** link.
+
+ 
+
+ By clicking the confirmation link, it will launch a browser displaying that the subscription has been confirmed and that you have subscribed your assigned Email to the Topic you selected.
+
+ 
+
+ You can now see that the subscription is ***Active***.
+
+ 
+
+
+## Task 2: Create Events Rule to Create Notification Automation for Enabled ECPU Change
+
+1. Open the navigation menu and click **Observability & Management**. Under **Events Service**, click **Rules**.
+
+ 
+
+2. Select your ***Compartment*** and Click **Create Rule**
+
+ 
+
+3. In the Create Rule panel, provide the Rule name. For this lab, use ***MyExaDBXSEventsRule***.
+
+ 
+
+4. Configure **Rule Conditions**:
+
+ * In the **Rule Conditions** section, For Condition, Select ***Event Type***.
+ * For **Service Name**, select ***Database***
+ * For **Event Type**, Select ***Exadb VM Cluster - Update Begin*** and ***Exadb VM Cluster - Update End***
+
+ 
+
+5. Configure **Actions**:
+
+ * In the **Actions** section, For **Action Type**, Select ***Notifications***.
+ * For **Notifications Compartment**, select your ***Compartment***
+ * For **Topic**, Select ***MyExaDBXSTopic***
+
+
+ 
+
+6. Click **Create Rule**
+
+ 
+
+## Task 3: Validate the Current VM Cluster Resource Allocation and Scale up the Enabled ECPUs using the Console
+
+1. Open the navigation menu. Under **Oracle Database**, click **Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure**.
+
+2. Select your ***Compartment***, and Select your **VM Cluster**.
+
+ 
+
+ The VM Cluster Details page displays information about the selected VM cluster. Under the **Resource allocation**, pay attention to the number of ***Enabled ECPUs:***
+
+ 
+
+3. In the VM Cluster Details page, Click **Scale VM Cluster**.
+
+ 
+
+ 
+
+ Scale Up the number of ***ECPUs enabled per VM*** from ***8 ECPU*** to ***12 ECPU***
+
+ 
+
+
+4. Click **Save Changes**
+
+ >**Note:** ECPU scaling activities are done online with no downtime. Once the scale up operation is complete, the VM Cluster status changes from ***Updating*** to ***Available***.
+
+## Task 4: List VM Cluster Configuration using CLI
+
+>**Note:** To use OCI CLI for this lab, we will be using the ***OCI Cloud Shell tool***.
+
+1. In the VM Cluster Details page, Copy the VM Cluster OCID by clicking on the ***copy*** button in the ***OCID*** field under the **General Information** section.
+
+ 
+
+ Paste the VM Cluster OCID to a text editor.
+
+2. Click the **Developer tools** icon in the console header and select ***Cloud Shell*** from the drop-down menu.
+
+ 
+
+ This displays the Cloud Shell in a "drawer" at the bottom of the console:
+
+ 
+
+3. Run the OCI CLI Command to get the VM Cluster Configuration.
+
+ >**Note:** Replace ***{VMClusterId}*** with VM Cluster OCID copied from *(Task 4 Step 1)*
+
+ ```
+
This will launch the **Exascale Storage Vault Details** page.
+ 
+
+
+3. On the **Exascale Storage Vault Details** page ***Discover the following Exascale Storage Vault Information***
+ * On the **Exascale Storage Vault Details** page, you can see a list of actions that can be performed, such as scaling the storage vault or moving the Vault to another compartment.
+ * In the **General Information** Section of the **VM Cluster Information** tab, you can find the following key items:
+ * The Lifecycle state of the Exascale Storage Vault.
+ * What Compartment the Exascale Storage Vault is in.
+ * The Availability Domain of the Exascale Storage Vault.
+ * The OCID of the Exascale Storage Vault.
+ * In the **Exascale Database Storage** Section you will find:
+ * The amount of Exascale database storage that was allocated and how much is free.
+ * On the left side of the page, under the **Resources** section:
+ * You can click on the **Associated VM Clusters** link to see a list of VM Clusters that are using this storage vault.
+

+
+### **Oracle Exadata Exascale: World’s Only Intelligent Data Architecture for Cloud**
+
+Users can now provision Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure on Oracle Database@Azure. Exascale is a multitenant, hyper-elastic intelligent data architecture that delivers all the advantages of Exadata with all the benefits of modern clouds. The Exascale intelligent storage cloud and a pool of Exascale database-optimized compute provide scalable shared resources in the cloud while still meeting even the most demanding workload requirements. You can start with a small VM cluster and small amount of storage and easily scale as needs grow. With the introduction of Exascale infrastructure, the benefits of Oracle Exadata Database Service are now available for workloads at any scale.
+
+Exadata Exascale is Oracle’s revolutionary multitenant architecture that combines the intelligence of Exadata with all the benefits of modern clouds. This loosely-coupled architecture incorporates the Exascale intelligent storage cloud and a pool of Exascale database-optimized compute to provide hyper-elasticity while meeting even the most demanding workload requirements.
+
+
+
+When running Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, you have access to its intelligent capabilities across your application portfolio. Database-optimized intelligent infrastructure runs AI, analytics, mission-critical OLTP, and developer workloads faster and more efficiently, reducing overall IT costs. Some of these capabilities include:
+
+* Intelligent AI: The combination of AI Smart Scan with Exadata System Software 24ai offloads key AI Vector Search operations to the Exascale intelligent storage cloud, enabling massive amounts of vector data to be searched up to 30X faster.
+
+* Intelligent analytics: The combination of intelligent columnarization and Smart Scan make hundreds or thousands of processing cores in the Exascale intelligent storage cloud available to process any SQL query.
+
+* Intelligent OLTP: Exascale’s intelligent architecture automatically tiers data between DRAM, flash, and disk enabling low-latency, high-throughput Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to frequently accessed data and delivers the performance of DRAM, the IOPS of flash, and the capacity of disk.
+
+* Database-aware intelligent clones:The Exascale intelligent storage cloud uses redirect-on-write snapshot technology to instantly create space-efficient database clones from read-write sources.
+
+Starting today, you can enjoy Exadata Database Service benefits at a lower entry cost for smaller, but no less critical, databases. Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure bridges the gap between dedicated Exadata infrastructure and virtual machines on shared commodity infrastructure. It extends Exadata’s advantages to every organization in every industry, regardless of size or workload.
+
+You can start small using virtual machine (VM) cluster configurations with as little as 8 ECPUs and 22 GB of memory per VM, and 300 GB of intelligent database storage. You can easily scale up the number of ECPUs and number of VMs in the cluster, and then shrink them when you don’t need them. To ensure ECPU capacity is available when you need it, you can reserve ECPUs at a nominal cost.
+
+You may now **proceed to the next lab**

+ * **Time zone:** The default time zone is UTC. There is also an option to select another time zone.
+ * **Oracle grid infrastructure release:** Select the Oracle Grid Infrastructure release.
+ * **Oracle grid infrastructure version:** Select the Oracle Grid Infrastructure version.
+
+ 
+
+ * **Exascale Database Storage Vault:**
+ * **Choose:** Select either ***Create new vault*** or ***Select existing vault***. If you select an existing vault, then select the database storage vault from the drop-down menu.
+ * **Vault name:** Enter the vault name for the new Exascale vault.
+ * **Storage capacity for Databases:** The amount of usable disk storage capacity that will be available for storing databases that is desired. Specify the size in gigabytes (GB).
+ * ***(Optional)*** **Add smart flash and memory cache options:** Enter the amount of smart flash cache. It is based on a percentage of storage capacity.
+ * **Security:** The SSH public key source can be selected to ***Generate new key pair***, ***Use existing key stored in Azure***, or ***Use existing public key***.
+ * If you select ***Generate new key pair***, you must give your newly generated key a unique name.
+ * If you select ***Use existing key stored in Azure***, you must select that key from a drop-down menu of defined key for your subscription.
+ * If you select ***Use existing public key***, you must provide an RSA public key in single-line format (starting with `ssh-rsa`) or the multi-line PEM format. You can generate SSH keys using `ssh-keygen` or Linux and OS X, or PuTTYGen on Windows.
+
+ 
+
+5. In the **Configuration** section, enter the following information and click **Next**.
+ * In **VM Cluster allocation**, select resources for the VM cluster.
+ * **Number of VMs in the cluster:** Specify the number of the VMs that you want to configure for the cluster, between 2 and 10.
+ * **ECPUs enabled per VM:** Specify the number of ECPU cores that you want to enable for the VM cluster. The minimum is 8 ECPU. The value you select must be a multiple of 4.
+ * ***(Optional)*** Add reserve additional ECPU**
+ * **ECPUs additional reserved per VM:** _(read-only)_ Indicates the additional reserved ECPUs
+ * **Total additional ECPUs reserved across VM Cluster:** _(read-only)_.
+ * **Total ECPUs per VM:** Enter the total number of ECPUs to allocate per VM. The total must be between 8 and 200.
+ * **Total ECPUs enabled across VM Cluster:** _(read-only)_.
+ * **Memory per VM (GB):** _(read-only)_ Displays the amount of memory allocated to each VM. Memory is calculated based on 2.75 GB per ECPU.
+ * **Total memory across VM cluster (GB):** _(read-only)_ The total memory across VM cluster (GB) field is automatically updated to provide you with the total amount of memory allocated across the VM cluster.
+
+ 
+ * **VM file system storage capacity per VM (GB):** Specify storage capacity per VM in gigabytes (GB).
+ > **Note:** Enter how much storage you want for the VM filesystem. The VM filesystem storage includes `/u02` capacity, where your database homes will be created, along with all the other VM file systems. The extra capacity selected beyond system minimum will expand `/u02` file system.
+
+ 
+
+6. In the **Networking** section, enter the following information to configure the network settings and click **Next**.
+ * **Virtual network:** Select the virtual network (VNet) in which you want to create the VM cluster.
+
+ > **Note:** The drop-down menu will only list virtual networks that are located within the subscription and resource group that you have selected in the **Basics** section. If the drop-down menu is empty, you may need to specify a different subscription or resource group, or create a virtual network within the selected resource group.
+
+ * **Client subnet:** Select the client subnet.
+
+ > **Note:** The drop-down menu will only list delegated subnets that are contained within the virtual network that you have selected above. If the drop-down menu is empty, you may need to specify a different virtual network, or create a delegated subnet within the selected virtual network.
+
+ * **Backup subnet:** Leave this field blank as Oracle will automatically assign it. This is the subnet to use for the backup network, which is typically used to transport backup information to and from the backup destination, and for Oracle Data Guard replication.
+
+ * **Hostname prefix:** Enter a hostname. The prefix forms the first portion of the Exadata VM cluster host name. Recommended maximum: 12 characters.
+
+ * **Host Domain Name:** _(read only)_ Displays the host domain name for the VM cluster.
+
+ * **Host and domain URL:** _(read only)_ This read-only field combines the host and domain names to display the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the database.
+
+ > **Note:** If custom DNS is selected, this field is composed of the entered hostname and selected private zone. If custom DNS is not selected, this field is composed of the entered hostname, selected subnet, and selected virtual network.
+
+ * **SCAN Listener Port (TCP/IP):** Assign a SCAN listener port (TCP/IP) in the range between `1024` and `8999`. The default is `1521`. If you do not assign the port, then the Exadata VM cluster is created with the default port.
+
+ * **Add additional network ingress rules:** Add additional network CIDR ranges (such as application or hub subnet ranges) to the Network Security Group (NSG) ingress rules for this VM cluster. The selected virtual network's CIDR is added by default.
+
+ 
+
+7. In the **Diagnostics Collection** section, select all to enable diagnostics collection and click **Next**.
+
+ 
+
+ > **Note:** Enabling diagnostics collection and notifications allow you and OCI operations to identify, investigate, track, and resolve guest VM issues quickly and effectively.
+
+8. In the **Consent** section, you must agree to the **terms of service**, **privacy policy**, and agree to **access permissions**. Select **Next** to continue.
+
+ 
+
+9. In the **Tags** section, you can define Microsoft Azure tags and click **Next**.

+# Scale Exascale Storage Vault Resources
+
+
+## Introduction
+
+This lab walks you through the steps to Scale the Exascale Storage Vault Resources using the OCI Console.
+
+**Estimated Time:** ***10 minutes***
+
+
+### Objectives
+
+- After completing this lab, you should be able to scale the Exascale Storage Vault Resources using the OCI Console.
+- List Exascale Storage Vault configuration using **OCI CLI**
+
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+This lab requires the completion of the following:
+
+* Completion of **Lab1**
+
+
+## Task 1: Scale an Existing Exascale Storage Vault
+
+1. Go to the **Oracle Exascale DB Storage Vault** **Overview** page. In the OCI Storage vault URL, click the ***Go to OCI*** link.
+
+ 
+
+2. In the **Exascale Storage Vault details** page, select **Scale Storage Vault**.
+
+ 
+
+3. In **Scale Storage Vault**, enter a value for the desired storage capacity for databases. This number should be the value for the total storage that you want to have provisioned after the scaling operation completes.
+
+ 
+
+ Click **Save Changes**.
+
+ 
+
+ The **Exascale Storage Vault details** page is now displayed. While the scale storage vault process is running, the lifecycle state of the Exascale storage vault shows ***UPDATING***.
+
+ 
+
+ When the scale storage vault process completes, the state of the Exascale storage vault changes to ***AVAILABLE***.
+
+ 
+
+ The **Exascale Storage Vault details** page displays information about the new allocated Exascale database storage.
+
+ In the Exascale Storage Vault Details page, Copy the Storage Vault OCID by clicking the ***copy*** button in the ***OCID*** field under the **General Information** section.
+ Paste the copied ***Exascale Storage Vault OCID*** to a text editor.
+
+ 
+
+## Task 2: List Exascale Storage Vault Configuration using CLI
+
+ >**Note:** For this lab, we will be using the ***Azure Cloud Shell tool*** with an **OCI CLI** configured.
+
+1. Click the **Azure Cloud Shell** icon in the console header.
+
+ 
+
+ This displays the Azure Cloud Shell in a "drawer" at the bottom of the portal.
+
+2. Run the OCI CLI Command to get the Exascale Storage Vault Configuration.
+
+ >**Note:** Replace ***{ExascaleVaultID}*** with the Exascale Storage Vault OCID copied from *(Task 1 Step 4)*
+
+ ```
+
