Grid Control Repository

How to find that which database is having the Grid Control repository?
I have a server SAFLO1 on which there are around 20 database instances running.
I know the Agent Home but not able to find the repository database.

Look up file:
$OMS_HOME\sysman\config\emoms.properties
Where you find this line:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=hostconnect)(PORT\=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SID\=SID)))SID=Name of your rep. database.
Im sure its a better way to do this, maybe not. :)

Database limits for Grid control repository?

Document "Oracle® Database Licensing Information / 10g Release 2 (10.2)" [Part Number B14199-10] discusses the restricted use license of database for grid control repository and rman repository use.
nfrastructure Repository Databases A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Recovery Manager (RMAN) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the Oracle databases managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This repository database may also be used for the Oracle Enterprise Grid Control repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (OEM Grid Control) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the targets (databases, applications, and so forth) managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This database may also be used for the RMAN repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
There is no discussion of licensing requirements for options of the database (RAC, partitioning, etc) when the database stays within these repository use restrictions. Therefore it is unclear whether the Grid Control can be configured to provide appropriate monitoring without additional licenses.

This is the reply I received from release
management:
If they have deployed an EE edition of the database
as an OEM repository, and then want to protect that
with RAC or Data Guard, or make more Secure with ASO
or Database Vault, or indeed get any of the
additional benefits any of the options provide, then
they will need to license the option.
Let me know if that is still not clear, and I'll go
back again.Thanks.
There is a minor inconsistency in their response ... they say "if deployed on EE". However, as far as I know OEM repository required VPD, which is available only on Enterprise Edition (see http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10953/pre-installation_req.htm#CHDGIEAD)
However, it is quite clear that 'they' are telling us that the RAC option is not inherent in the "Special Use Licensing" as described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ .
The implication (not necessarily a topic for this forum) is that the OEM is not guaranteed to be able to provide basic monitoring and reporting functionality without additional license fees to make OEM more highly available than the targets being monitored.
It would be nice to have the information about which Oracle products (database and app server) have included licenses with a basic Grid Control install and which require additional licenses as part of Chapter 1 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b40010/toc.htm (That document goes into excruciating detail about the extra packs, but ignores the basics.)
For that matter, since OEM Grid Control can not be purchased, it would be nice to have a list of products that provide license to install Grid Control, again in Chapter 1 of the Grid Control Licensing document listed above.
I appreciate your time in having dug into this.

Cleaning up the Grid Control Repository Database

Our Grid Control Repository database has grown large over time and we need to free up some space. When we remove targets, is all the data related to the target cleaned out?

Double check your partition maintenance is working.
Deleting targets will delete the underlying data, but you may have to do some general database cleanup to reap the benefit in space terms.

Purging the Grid Control Repository database

Our Grid Control Repository database has grown large over time and we need to free up some space. When we remove targets, is all the data related to the target cleaned out?

When you remove targets, related data is removed. However, it is advisable to use the emd_maintenance package to clean up and reclaim space.

Database componentes required/excluded for RMAN and Grid control repository

I'm planning creation of a centralized 10gR2 RMAN repository for my production/dev environment, and needed a basic, barebones database. We may also use that same database as a repository for 10g OEM Grid Control in the future, so I wanted to ensure I was prepared for that.
None of the documentation says anything about particular required components for RMAN, only that a database is needed. So am I allowed to deselect all items from the following DBCA list? I didn't expect any problems with the optional components, but wanted to make sure that RMAN or Grid control would function, were I to disable Oracle JVM or XML DB. My standard loadout (for better or worse) is to include everything in my production/dev databases, and I didn't want that to be the case with this one.
Database Components:
Oracle Data Mining
Oracle Text
Oracle OLAP
Oracle Spatial
Enterprise Manager Repository
Standard Database Components:
Oracle JVM
Oracle XML DB
Oracle Intermedia

Thanks. For that matter, do DBA's in the general population install those standard oracle components? I have them there in my default installs just because of the message 'Oracle recommends you have these installed.' in the DBCA screen.

Replicating Grid Control Repository

Is it functionally possible to replicate the SYSMAN schema to a remote database for the purpose of managing the grid in a DRP scenario?
Specifically, I have a Data Guard environment (unable to use multi-master replication for this environment because of lack of primary keys... PeopleSoft) for two production databases with two remote sites. I'd like to use multi-master replication for the Data Grid Repository so that in the event of total loss of the primary site a secondary site can be quickly brought online (through Data Guard Failover) while using the Grid Control from the remote site.
Thanks

It will work only if the remote server have the same name as the local server. This scenario is same as moving the repository to a new server or changing the server name

Move information from one grid control repository to another

I have two Grid Control repositories. Is there a pain free way of moving users, metrics, and other metadata from one repository to another?
Thanks

Hi there,
Since GC 10.2.0.4.0 you can Export/Import just "Monitoring Templates" between multiple OMSs using EMCLI.
We hope we will see more features regarding this topic in 11g GC.

Repository Database shows at wrong version in Grid Control

Hi all,
I have successfully installed Grid Control and have upgraded the repository database to version 10.2.0.3. When I log into sqlplus to check the version number fit shows 10.2.0.3, but when I look at the database in Grid Control it is displaying as 10.2.0.1.
Does anyone have any idea why that would happen? Where does GC get its information from?
Thanks,
Paula

It is also worth mentioning that when I used DBUA to upgrade the repository database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 the EM config part failed. Having googled this it seems that this is fine for a Grid Control repository database, as it does not have an EM db console element to it anyway and therefore it cannot be upgraded, but I thoguht I best mention that in case it has a bearing on this issue.
thanks,
Paula

10.2.0.5 Database is in extended support. Make sure to purchase the licensing.
You need to download the software by logging an SR with Oracle support to get delivered as DVD or through e-delivery.
But I would suggest you to upgrade to 11.2.0.3.
Upgrading 10g Grid Control repository database is doing a normal database upgrade.

Linux OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.1.0 installation issue

Just a heads up to anyone installing Linux OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.1.0
If you are doing a full install, the "product specific prerequisite checks" page will show an error on the following packages even if you have them installed.
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 (failed)
libstdc++devel-3.4.3-22.1 (failed)
openmotif-21-2.1.30-11 (failed)
Note that the installation works fine if you ignore the "missing" prerequisites. I believe the check itself is flawed. The openmotif check should be openmotif21-**** (extra hyphen incorrect in check - the old install was openmotif, now openmotif21), the libstdc++ needs a hypen added before the devel, and the compat-libstdc++ has yet another issue.
This is something the developers at oracle will have to fix.
Steve

Yes, you must download and install the 10.2.0.1 version and then patch it up to the 10.2.0.4 version.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gem/install/index.html
The above link shows you the install routine when using a new database, the steps for the existing database are only slightly different, all you need are the connection details for that existing database and you should be ok.
As for taking full backups of the Grid Control repository, I know many choose not to, space is always a big concern, but this depends on how critical your repository is to you. If you need it for the auditors, well then I'd suggest acquiring some more hard disks to up your space.

Grid Control and Ora-12557 error

Hello, I'm trying to install the Oracle DataGuard in my work. I have two server with these features:
2 Processors Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz
4 GB Ram
6 SATA hdd 250GB (Raid 5)
for each server. Actually, only one server have the database production, and the another server I have for testing purpose. I must be have a high availability system. I want to build an Oracle RAC system, but I think that I need an external storage (something like SAN, or fibre channel or iSCSI). Well, I assumed that I don't create a Oracle RAC because I do not have the hardware requirements. Then, I thougth use Oracle DataGuard. For that, I have one server in one building and another server in another building like a standby database. If a server fail, then I use the another.
I decided to create Oracle DataGuard configuration. I installed windows 2003 server standard edition in my server for test purpose, and then I installed the Oracle Database 10 g with my database. After I installed the Oracle Grid Control with a new database for repository. Well, when the installation of Oracle Grid Control was completed, I didn´t connect to my database because sqlplus show me an error (Ora-12557). Before I install the Oracle Grid Control I can connect perfectly with my database, but after that I can not connect any time.
Anyone can help me, please????

After formatting (clean server)
1. Install grid control Repository and Management Server
2. Patch it to the latest version (10.2.0.3)
3. Install agent on your other server ,see that you should be able to communicate, check for propert username/password settings.
4. Install your first database , lets say you install it on the same machine with grid
Check for ports/etc and see its in a working order
5. From Grid control ,create your standby on another machine , grid required no interfearance from user once some pre-requisits (you should be able to ping/ftp) on the host.
there are number of possibilites for meeting your requirements, keep refering installation guide where possible.

Migration Methods for Grid Control

Is there any way to migrate a separately installed 10.2.0.3 64-bit GC Repository Database with OMS version 10.2.0.4 to a new characterset? Also wanting to migrate to 11.1.0.6 (or 11.1.0.7) for the database version?
Subject: How to Move a Grid Control Repository to a 10.1.0.3 Database
Doc ID: Note:285087.1
From the above doc on Metalink: "You cannot export the repository to a 10.1.0.3 database
the export is not supported because there are many references to the hosting database in the Grid Framework.
Many functionalities will be broken and the Grid Framework can be considered as corrupted."
The quote above and the lack of further documents on Metalink leads me to believe that using standard migration methods such as exp/imp and datapump won't work with GC.
I know that it is possible to migrate to 11g for the database and there are instructions for doing so but....not for migrating to a new characterset (AL32UTF8) as well. We are just wanting to reduce the proliferation of charactersets.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Edited by: user593520 on Oct 14, 2008 9:16 AM

I found the answer...according to Metlalink Note 388090.1...changing charactersets won't work.
Looks like a reinstall or keep current characterset and migrate to 11gR1 for the database.

EM Grid Control - Licensing

Hello,
I've read the licensing and understand that the grid control/repository is free. What I did not find is how one can use this.
In example, if I have several clients who have production database. Can I setup a grid in my company and just setup the agents to my clients database servers and have them feed my grid control? As in the scenario is there a difference between a 1 man company(consultant) and a service company with many dba?
Or is the licensing orientated around the concept of 1 company, many internal database,1 internal grid control?
Thanks
/Jan

I believe the use of Grid Control itself is free, but you have to buy the extra packs if you use them (e.g. change management, configuration management and tuning packs).
As for the repository:
A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (OEM Grid Control) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the targets (databases, applications, and so forth) managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This database may also be used for the RMAN repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#BABDJGGI
In your case, the orientation is on the company for which the Grid control is monitoring the databases for (in your case per customer).
When you choose the setup you describe, you end up paying for your own Oracle Database Enterprise Edition license for using OEM (as this is your 'property').
You might also consider good firewalling in this, as i don't think customers like it when they can see each others servers / network... ;)
