Monitoring a 9.2.0.3 database instance in Grid Control 11gR1

Hi,
we configured EM Grid Control 11gR1 for monitoring some database instances. The monitoring works fine for the versions 9.2.0.1, 10.2.0.4 and 11gR2 , but we cannot configure it for version 9.2.0.3 and version 9.2.0.6.
The main page of 9.2.0.3 and 9.2.0.6 instances reports "Metric Collection Error" and every configuration (with Statspack or without, enable metrics or disable them) gives the same message.
I know that EM 11R1 is certified only for 9.2.0.8 but it seems strange that it works for version 9.2.0.1 (even if most features are disabled) and it don't works for the others 9.2 versions.
Someone has the same issue? Any suggestion ?
Thank you for your help.
Alex

Hello,
can you verify if the DBSNMP account is accessible (e.g. account is not locked).
Please have a look at Note:340158.1 for some debugging information around this error.

Alert Log File Monitoring of 8i and 9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g

Is it possible to monitor alert log errors in Oracle 8i/9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g and EM 10g agents? If yes, is it possible to get some kind of notification?
I know that in 10g Database, it is possible to use server generated alerts, but what about 8i/9i?
Regards,
Martin

Hello
i am interested in a very special feature: is it possible to get notified if alerts occur in alert logs in an 8i/9i database when using Grid control and the 10g agent on the 8i/9i systems?
Moreover, the 10g agent should be able to get Performance Data using the v$ views or direct sga access without using statspack, right?
Do you know where I can find documentation about the supported features when using Grid Control with 8i/9i databases?

Monitoring of Standby Instance via Grid Control

Hi DBAs,
I have setup the Data Guard single instance to single instance in Oracle 10.2.0.4. Is it possible that if I install the agent on standby database server, can I monitor these server using Grid Control. Also is there any other tool for monitoring of standby databases (database is applying the archives, latency or any other issue) ?
Thanks
-Samar-

Hi; Yes u can. Check the following:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/gui.htm#DGBKR400
You can also use some scripting to monitor your dataguard status.

After adding a logical standby database through Grid Control for a RAC database, I noticed sometime later the Data Guard configuration disappeared from Grid Control. Not sure why but it is gone. I did notice that something went wrong with the standby creation but i did not get much feedback from Grid Control. The last thing I did was to view the configuration, see output below.

Specify standby database name and Oracle home location

At the end am presented with a review of the selected options and then the standby database is created
Has any body come across a similar issue?
Thanks,

Any resolution on this?
I just created a Logical Standby database and I'm getting the same warning (WARNING: No credentials available for target ...) when I do a 'Verify Configuration' from the Data Guard page.
Everything else seems to be working fine. Logs are being applied, etc.
I can't figure out what credentials its looking for.

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.

Creating a new Oracle Database using 10G Grid Control

Hi
Is it possible to create a new database using the 10g Grid COntrol.

The way to create a database with EM, is by using Provisioning procedures. For instance with the Oracle Clusterware / RAC Provisioning For UNIX, you can provisioning Clusterware, ASM + ASM instance creation and DB Software. Then by provisoning you would create a database. There are also procedures to extend a cluster.
So, provisoning is the way to go!

Adding Database in OEM Grid Control 11g

Dear All,
I have install silently oem agent 11g in a solaris system. The installation was successful and agent is up and running.
But the thing is I can't add this client and its database in my OEM Grid Control interface. When I try to add the target it shows the bellow error
Information
You cannot add a host target from Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
To add a host target, install the Oracle Management Agent on the host computer you want to manage. When the Management Agent begins communicating with the Oracle Management Service, the Management Agent target and the Host target will appear in the list of targets.
My Question is how i can the target's agent can communicate with OMS agent? and How this target can be incorporated?

You install management agents on the host and point the URl to the grid control OMS and it will automatically discover the host and databases
It is in the documentation.

I can`t configure database target in GRID CONTROL

hi
i have grid control 10.2.0.4 on linux red hat 5. the installation are correct and i discover the first node that have a oracle database.
But when i try to configure the database , not appear the configuration page and only give me a error
The metalink team say to me the problem is that the nslookup not working, and this not there is comunication between the oms and the agent
its necessary a dns server??
how to make the configuration for nslookup working

Hi Andrea.
Yes. Only it's necessary to add the full qualified name and IP adress in /etc/hosts and to check that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file resolve in the order file hosts .
It was the Metalink Team that saw to me : "it's necessary to working the nslookup correctly to work good the communication between the oms and the agent"
But its not true. Not its necessary.
Thanks Andreas

Physical database creation using Grid Control fail

I have tried several times to create a physical standby using Grid Control. Everytime, the job failed at the step "DBClone -> Destination Preparation". The log file indicated the following error message:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized.
When I check the spfile, I find that an extra word "PuTTY" was inserted into the spfile as shown in the following spfile, therefore, the instance cannot be started. In addition, everytime when issuing the command "cat spfilermslag.ora", the word "PuTTY" will automatically appear in the command line after the "cat spfilermslag.ora" command.
$ cat spfilermslag.ora

What is going on here? How can I fix the problem?
Thanks!

You might just have to do it the old fashioned way. At least it will be a good learning experience.

Non Database Column to Grid Control

Hi,
How do I add a Non database column to a Grid Control which is
based on a Rowset. I want the similar functionality of a
multirow Block in D2K Forms, which is based on a Database query
and to which another item is added which is non Database item
and it is also displayed as any another item in the same
multirow block. The updatable and queryable property for this
item is set to false.
How do I get similar functionality in JDeveloper using InfoSwing
GridControl. Thanx in advance.

The GridControl does not have built-in support for this
functionality. However, the GridControl source code is provided
so you can extend the control to provide this functionality.
In 3.0, the Oracle Business Components for Java will provide the
ability to create objects that can mix db and non-db attributes.
The GridControl can then be bound to this object to provide the
functionality you seek.

Hi.
I am facing issues to configure "for monitoring" the standby instance of a 10g database. If someone on this forum have experience, please share, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
/SKH

FYI we have a tar open on this "standby databases not monitored correctly" ie grid is trying to collect metric from a sb db when it can not b/c its only mounted. The fix will be in 10.2.0.4. We are pushing for a back port to 10.2.0.3 b/c we missed a corruption in our sb db b/c we could not monitor the values and apply different templates.

Snapshot report showing wrong instance on grid control!!!

Hi
On one of the cluster environments, Even though I run snapshot report on instance 2, report shows instance 1. This i happening on one set of cluster environment. Other cluster instances are working fine.
Let me know if you have seen such behavior and fix...
Thanks,

It does not matter how many instances you have running in a RAC cluster ... you have one and only one database.
Define your use of the term "snapshot." We have no idea to what you are referring.

Ent. Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. ORA-12541

Hi
I have installed and configured Oracle 10.2.0.1 on a Microsoft Cluster with Windows 2003 Server.
Database instance and listener are running OK on both cluster nodes.
On one of the nodes (pwmssrv1) I configured Enterprise Manager to monitor and control the database.
At the beginning it worked fine, but after making a reboot on this server the Enterprise Manager cannot see the database instance and listener anymore.
I already recreated/reinstalled EM and the problem persists.
When I try to access the Oracle EM I get the errors (it do not show the login page):

You need to do some troubleshooting to find exact issue...

Error Configuring Database Instance Properties on Grid Control

Hi All,
My Grid Control is 11.1.0.1.0. I have installed and configured agents on other nodes and the OMS and the monitored Hosts are able to communicate. My problem is when I go to targets/Databases, when I select any database and click configure, I get an error "Error occurred while getting information for the specified target. Possible reasons include: the target doesn't exist; connection to the target failed."
I do not know why I'm getting this error because the agent on the OMS server is running, the agents on the monitored targets are all running and when I check the status, I see the agent is uploading data to OMS. Also When i go to targets/hosts, all the hosts are up.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thank you.

Eric S,
Could be a Firewall issue. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11857_01/install.111/e16847/firewalls.htm#i1005951
Firewalls Between the Grid Control and a Managed Database Target
When you are using the Grid Control Console to manage a database, you must log in to the database from the Grid Control Console in order to perform certain monitoring and administration tasks. If you are logging in to a database on the other side of a firewall, you will need to configure the firewall to allow Oracle Net firewall proxy access.
Specifically, to perform any administrative activities on the managed database, you must be sure that the firewall is configured to allow the Oracle Management Service to communicate with the database through the Oracle Listener port.
You can obtain the Listener port by reviewing the Listener home page in the Grid Control Console.
You can check if Listener port 1521 (if that's the port you are using) is open by:
OMS_HOME/bin/tnsping "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))"
If the database in a DMZ runs on Windows you may want to check note: Oracle Connections and Firewalls [ID 125021.1]
From the OMs-server you can ping the target server by FQDN and short name?
