11G Grid control - Target is temporarily in status pending state.

Hi,
I'm using 11G OMS, where at a point of time I can see many unknown targets with message "Target is temporarily in status pending state."
There are different databases running on different hosts are showing the same error.
Thanks
KSG

KSG,
Can you try below commands on agent to get status & upload/reload , last upload time & target being monitored
Also have check in /etc/hosts of agent host should be in below format
<IP> hostname.domainname hostname
Check ping telnet for connectivity between agent & OMS
HTTP Console Port : 7789
HTTPS Console Port : 7800
HTTP Upload Port : 4890
HTTPS Upload Port : 4900
Agent Port : 3872
Repository Port : 1521
Enterprise Manager Central Console Port = 4889
Enterprise Manager Central Console Secure Port = 1159
emctl status agent
emctl upload
emctl reload
emctl config agent listtargets Thanks,

11g Grid Control - Host Configuration Collection Problems

Hi Guys,
I just installed Oracle 11g Grid Control and it has been running for 2 weeks until I recently tried to walk through the parts of it.
My intention was to clear off all the error messages, critical warnings, alerts, and policy warnings.
When I arrived at the development summary box, on the home tab, I can see that there is 1 collection problem.
When I clicked it, I saw that apparently the problem is with the host where I installed the grid control.
Problem type: Warning during collection of Oracle Software
message: Unknown WLS Home Location or WLS Version in Middleware Home /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware
I tried clicking on the "Refresh Host" button, but it didn't solve the problem at all.
I have also tried to take a look at the targets.xml however it seems the configuration in there are already pointing to the correct path to the weblogic home.
Please let me know if anyone has a suggestion for this.
Searching from google doesn't really return anything closely matched to this.
Thanks,
Adhika

What is the intent/timeline for fixing this bug? On MOS, it appears to have a status of "Status 33 - Suspended, Req'd Info not Avail". We are encountering this bug also and I would glady provide information from our systems in order for the issue to be resolved.
Thanks.
PostScript: FWIW, Google yielded a blog referencing this error and Doc ID 1433113.1. I am unable to access that document (as was the blogger). Because of this, and another major caveat (our machines with this collection error do not have WLS installed on them), I'm thinking this probably needs to be an SR rather than a forum discussion.

OEM 11g grid control - Question

Dear DBA's,
I'm using 11g grid control, RDBMS - 11.2.0.2 on RHEL 5.0
My current setup : I have 4 node RAC database running on (node1, node2, node3, node4). My RMAN backup job in EM runs from node1.
Preferred setup : I need to modify this job or create a new one (whichever is feasible) so that my backup job runs from (node3 or node4) instead of node1.
Can you kindly suggest How can I modify the setup to meet my requirement?
Thanks

I made these changes in the RMAN script (In OEM JOB Parameters) and still see backup running from node1.
I have recreated jobs (Changed ownership of these jobs from SYMAN to a different ID, which was also part of my task) and during Job creation, while adding targets (I chose target type as Database instance of node4 instead of Cluster database) This fulfilled my request. Thanks again for your reply.

Grid Control 에서 새 target node를 추가한 이후에 기존OMS와 새 Agent 간의 HeartBeat fail 해결방

Grid Control 에서 새 target node를 추가한 이후에 기존OMS와 새 Agent 간의 HeartBeat fail 해결방법
=========================================================================
다음은 Grid Control 을 설치한 이후에 node를 관리해 오다가 새로운 관리할 Target node를
추가한 이후에 Grid Control 이 있는 node의 OMS와 새로 추가한 node의 Agent가 HeartBeat 통신
실패 시에 해결책을 소개하고 있습니다.
Problem Description
Grid Control 에서 새로운 node를 추가한 다음에 그 새로운 node 에서
emctl status agent 명령 수행 시 다음과 같은 에러가 발생합니다.
Environment :
mesdev01 : 새로 추가한 Agent가 있는 node명
mesdev02 : 'Central Grid Agent' 존재 & 'Repository database가 존재하는 node'
새로 추가한 node에서 아래와 같이 emctl status agent 명령을 수행합니다.
그런데, OMS에 대한 HeartBeat fail 이 발생했음을 알 수 있습니다.

에러 증상
emctl status agent 수행 시 Last successful heartbeat to OMS : unknown
또는 agent 에서 OMS의 Status를 알 수 없다는 아래의 에러가 보이는 경우임.
Note: "The OMS status is Unknown"
Explanation
이러한 에러는 주로 agent가 node에 새로(newly) install 된 경우 발생합니다.
원래 communication 이 정상적으로 보인다면 다음과 같이 수행 결과가 나와야 합니다.
다음은 Repository database가 존재하는 mesdev02 node에서 emctl status agent를 수행한 결과

Agent is Running and Ready
원인
이 에러가 발생하는 원인은 새로 추가한 database의 Agent process가 GRID Control 이
install된 main server의 OMS와 연결되지 않기 때문인데, 이렇게 새로운 node를 추가한 이후에
수행해줘야 할 절차가 있습니다.
OMS_HOME/sysman/log 의 secure.log 를 확인해 보면 OMS is "secure locked" 라는 에러가 보입니다.
The OMS is "secure locked", then the agent also needs to be secure.
[ 사전 check 사항 ]
1. 두 node 모두 DNS server에 등록되어 있는지 확인한다.
2. 두 node 모두 쌍방 간에 /etc/hosts file에 서로의 ip address와 hostname을 넣어준다.
위 두가지 check 사항이 충족된 경우에도 발생한다면 새로 추가한 node 쪽에서 자신의 정보를
OMS(즉, Repository node) 에게 정보를 upload하지 않았기 때문입니다.
Upload를 하는 방법은 간단하게 아래와 같은 emctl upload agent 라는 명령으로 가능합니다.
emctl upload agent
Upload를 하게 될 때 그 정보는 XML 형태로 중앙 Repository에 저장됩니다.
Solution Description
아래 절차 중에 1번만 Grid Control이 설치된 OMS server에서 수행을 하고,
2번~7번까지는 새로 추가한 Agent node에서 수행합니다.
1. On oms server: (Grid Control 이 설치된 서버에서 수행)
<OMS_HOME>/bin/emctl status oms -secure
OMS node인 mesdev02 node에서 우선 emctl status oms -secure 를 수행합니다.

3. Verify no residue emagent processes running:
이와 같은 명령으로 남아 있는 emagent process가 있는지 확인합니다.
ps -ef|grep emagent
[mesdev01:/oracle/app/oracle/product/agent10g/bin]ps -ef|grep emagent
oracle 4353 3125 0 16:19:34 pts/tb 0:00 grep emagent
4. If running secure please resecure agent on :
<AGENT_HOME>/bin/emctl secure agent
emctl secure agent 를 수행하는 목적은 모든 agent에 대해서 secure communication 을
하기 위해 필요합니다.
[ 주의사항 ]
emctl secure agent 명령은 Grid Control installation 과정에서
--> 'Specify Security Options' 단계에서
--> Management Service Security 항목에서
--> OMS와 함께 Secure Communication을 하고자 하는 agent에 password 설정을 하는데,
--> Require Secure Communication for all agents 를 check 표시하였다면
install 이후에 아래와 같이 emctl secure agent 명령을 수행하여야 합니다.
(기본적으로 Require Secure Communication for all agents는 enable되어야 함).

Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version

Hi,
Just curious to know when Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version will be released. If already released, can you post the link?
Regards,
Manohar

What is the best installlation document to follow for the latest EM Grid control ?The latest Grid Control is available for download at http://download.oracle.com (Scroll down to "Enterprise Management"). There is a README beside the download link. THAT README PROVIDES INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.
In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

Also, can GRID discover PeopleSoft and Siebel application software ?
That can be found using the self-help portal: http://otn.oracle.com -> Products : Enterprise Management (left edge menu). In the 'Product Focus' area, you will notice 'Application Management' which will lead you to the appropriate data sheets and supporting information.

Download problem with EM 11g Grid Control Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0)

Hi all,
I have problem with Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 (64-bit) downloaded archives.
Actually with GridControl_11.1.0.1.0_Linux_x86-64_2of3.zip (1,589,671,704 bytes) (cksum - 535544209)
I successfully downloaded all archives but cksum for this file (...2of3...) is invalid.
Even it is invalid I tried to install. Installation starts ok, but it breaks after few moments.
Regards

Here is cksum from file that I downloaded 3966614633 and on download page is 535544209.
It's obvious that something is wrong!
Oracle personal should fix this issue.
Anyhow, there is another way... Download from different location. See this thread:
Re: Invalid Software Download from OTN for Grid Control 11g on Linux x86_64

Disk 1 of Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control not downloading correctly

Hello, I'm downloading Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control.
The first disk, of three, does not download correctly:
GridControl_11.1.0.1.0_Linux_1of3.zip
On the web page, its size is listed to be around 1.3 GB.
However, when downloading, it thinks its actual file size is only around 643 MB.
So only that much gets downloaded.
But after downloading, this .zip file cannot be opened, it does not appear to a valid .zip file.
Please investigate and fix this.
Thanks
Eugene

Please check from edelivery.oracle.com . You need to unzip all the zips under one dir.

Weblogic license required for 11g Grid Control?

Weblogic is a pre-requisite for installing 11g Grid Control.
if you do not have weblogic already, and your only requirement for it is to use for Grid Control, is a license for Weblogic required?
I have raised an SR on this - and have been told a license is required.
I'm staggered by this - the packs in Grid have always been licensable, but the very basic functionality has always been free - including the use of an 'infrastructure' database to house the repository.
I'm interested to hear other peoples' experiences and whether this is a 'known' fact.

I've already asked Oracle sales staff about it, but I don't want to mislead you.
Could you remind them their restricted-use license?
Grid Control includes a restricted-use license for the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server components required to deploy Grid Control. Refer to Section 1.3.3,
"Restricted-Use Licensing," for details on the restricted-use licenses
This is the URL of the document: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14860.pdf
I would be happy to hear from their answer.

How to add new host to 11g grid control

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?

Hi,
the host and agent targets should show up right after installation of the agent, if securing was successful. I assume the error happened somewhere there.
Can you please paste the output of following command:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl status agent
where ORACLE_HOME is set to your newly installed agent?
Also, please check if you see any errors in $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/log/emagent.log and emagent.trc about communication between the agent and your OMS.
Best regards,
Robert

OEM 11g Grid Control installation for 10g R2 database

Hi ,
I am new with oracle enterprise manager grid control ,

1. My customer is using windows server 2008 with oracle 10g R2 database , can I install OEM 11g R2 to monitor all the 10g databases ?
2. I found only 32 bit installers for windows , where as they are using 64 bit OS , is it fine to install 32 bit OEM in a 64 bit OS ?
3. Do they require any separate license for OEM 11g , they have license for oracle 10g database ?
I will really appreciate if someone can help me with these details , thank you.

Oracle 11g Grid Control failure at database credentials

Hi ,
I have the environment like Windows 2008 64bit machine. I have installed oracle database in one machine and in second machine , installed weblogic server then trying to install Grid control but
I'm facing the issue when i give the database credentials , its throwing message like check that listener is up and running or not.
I have checked everything is working.
Error is : There was a problem connecting to the database on the host and port specified. Check to make sure the host is up or that the database listener is running on that host
i have verified in the forums . but nothing worked for me. Could any one please help me out

If you have not tested a sqlplus connection to the database as user sys from the host where you want to install Grid Control, then try it.
Ex:
sqlplus sys/<PASSWORD>@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<HOSTNAME>)(PORT=<PORT#>)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<SID>)))" as sysdba
where:
<PASSWORD>: the password of user sys as entered in the UI
<HOSTNAME>: the host name as entered in the UI
<PORT#>: the port number as entered in the UI
<SID>: the SID as entered in the UI

11g Grid Control in a cluster?

Hi All,
I am trying to find some official doc on how to setup an MAA architecture for 11g GC.
I have already done the following:
- installed 11.2.0.1 RAC database
- installed wls 10.3.2 on both nodes
- installed OMS on one node
- added the second OMS instance on the second node
Now, in WLS console I can see that there are 3 servers created (1 Admin + 2 OMS servers).
However, there is no cluster setup in WLS.
I am also planning to use a load balancer before the OMS instances.
Are there some notes on how to set this up? All I could find was stuff about 10g which is still based on iAS so that's not any use.
Also, where can I find notes about how to setup load-balancer for an 11g OMS clustered?
Regards,
Pawel.

Thanks !
However, I have a problem on deciding how to create the shared filesystem for the loader... In your example there is the following statement:
■The second thing to consider is shared storage, for both the XML file loading, and the software library (used for patching and provisioning). So make sure you can add a good shared storage solution to the OMS machines when needed to handle the shared files
What is the best way to do that?
- OCFS2
- GFS
- NFS (I don't like this solution as it is not HA - if primary server goes down - so does the shared folder in all attached nodes)
- ASMCF (installing a whole Grid Infrastructure with ASM sounds way too much overhead to accomplish a simple task of sharing a directory between to nodes)
Currently we have FC interfaces installed on both machines and attached to a disk storage matrix. In other words we have the same device /dev/raw1 visible from both OMS nodes.
Which approach is best keeping in mind we want High Availability maintaned?

Time Based Corrective Action-11g Grid Control

I need a corrective action that is based on time. There are some databases that we take cold backup (we cannot convert to hot backup for reasons beyond our control). So the backup script
shuts down the database
mounts the database
backup the database
opens the database.
For some reason, if the backup fails the database is left in mount state. I was trying to get a corrective action that will kick off at the MOUNTED state and open the database, only if the time is after 8 AM in the morning. I do not want the corrective action kicking off when RMAN is running at night for backup.
I was trying out the PL/SQL code
DECLARE
local_date DATE;
BEGIN
SELECT SYSDATE INTO local_date FROM dual;
IF local_date > trunc(sysdate)+9/24 THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter database open';
END IF;
END;
This script runs once reports as successful. It may or may not open the database depending on the time. Depending on the time it will leave the database in OPEN or MOUNTED state. It does not run again.
I needed it to run as follows:
The backup fails at 6 AM in the morning,
The script should keep checking the time and open the database only when it is 9 AM.
Is there a way to do that, or am I going about in in a wrong way.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Radhak

Got it to work by correcting the code
