Audit Vault Agent Installation issue

Hi All,
I have installed the following things
1) Audit Vault Server (10.2.2.0.1) on a Windows 2003 Server
2) I completed the post-installation tasks
3) I am trying to install Audit Vault agent (10.2.2) on HPUX (11.11) machine.
I start the AV Agent runInstaller, and fill the details like AVAgent name, Username, connect String etc, then click on next , it throws the following error:
"error1: the AV server is expecting an agent with the given name to be installed on another machine"
I am able to ping from Windows to HP machine and Vice versa (By IP Address and Hostname).
Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong and how to solve it.
Please mail to my email address ([email protected])
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

REG:Oracle Audit Vault Agent Installation fails at the last step .

Hi ,
I am installing Audit vault agent 10.3 and it is failing at the last on solarisis 10 sparc 64 bit .
The error is
OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed/cancelled. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
I have tried the Doc ID 1058184.1 but it fails at the end saying cannot update av.properties , If we create the the directories manually and create the av.properties file then the agent will start but it is not stopping until you kill the agent .
Moreover if i am continuing with this agent after registering the collectors i am not able to start them as i am facing the http 404 error .
So i think i need to install the audit agent successfully first .
can anybody help me please as we are on client side and it is critical deliverable .
Regards

In case you're still dealing with this issue:
I hit this problem when the OS user I was installing with was not in the proper OS group. I don't have the documentation in front of me right now, but make sure your user is in the DBA and/or OINSTALL group.

Installation audit vault agent with RAC configuration

Hi at all,
I have a question about the installation of the agent on the RAC configuration. Where must I install the Audit vault agent, on all RAC nodes or is there a properly configuration?
Thanks
Vincenzo

By default when you install the agent on any single node the installation recognizes that it is a cluster and presents you with a list of available nodes from which to select.
With a RAC cluster you have one database and multiple instances. All instances will write to one, and only one AUD$ and FGA_LOG$ table so if you are using database auditing one node will suffice. Which node that is though depends on knowing which node is up at any one time so you could potentially choose a node that is dropped from the cluster or is down for patching and maintenance while the cluster is still running. With respect to REDO collection each node has its own redo thread so you definitely need to be collecting from every node.
Audit Vault has not been out long enough that I can tell you from experience what might be defined as "best practice" and often what we really need to study is "worst practice" to know what not to do. But in the case of RAC my instinct would be to first determine the collection type(s) and then decide. Erring on the side of collecting from all nodes makes a lot of sense.

Audit Vault Agent sizing (harware requirements)

Hi, I need to provide my customer an estimation of the disk space needed for the Audit Vault Agent, size of archivelog files of the source database so that REDO collector could work without problems, and other demands of source side (audit vault agent) versus audit vault server?
Is there any document like "audit vault configuration best practice" related with hardware requirements (size of disk space, size of archivelog files, aud records...)???
Thank you all in advance..
Edited by: user10600747 on Jan 4, 2011 5:21 AM

Hi Elmin,
I was doing implementation on Audit Vault with around twenty source databases. These were hardware requirements:
Server:
HP-UX 11.31, 2 CPUs, 16 GB RAM, 1TB of storage for database
Agent (these are from the installation guide):
- At least 512 MB of available physical memory (RAM)
- Swap space of 1024 MB or twice the size of RAM
- 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory
- 1.6 GB of disk space for the Oracle Audit Vault collection agent software (but if you apply patches you need actually more than this).

Sve

Audit Vault Agent account creation

Hi, I just installed the AV Server and about to configure the agents. The Oracle AV agent installation document suggests creating AV agent user by logging into the database as AVAdmin user(Section 3.1.1.c). However, the user creation fails with ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. Other database accounts (sys, system..etc..) are locked. Any clue how to resolve this ussue?
Thanks in advance.

1. Where in the OP's post do you see the word Windows?
2. Your advice is totally irresponsible in all respects. The proper way to administer the product is in compliance with the documentation. There is no rational reason to do what you suggest.
Were you an employee of mine, working on an audit vault project, you'd be terminated tomorrow morning when you walked through the door.
Again: your advice is misguided and totally irresponsible.

Audit Vault Agents

Hi,
I have three hosts two with windows server and oracle database 10g on each server and the third is a linux server with 11g database i want to colect informacion about operative system, database audit and redo log in this tree hosts. How is the license? How many licenses of
Audit Collection Agent must I purchase?
How would the installation of agents in this environment where and how would I install?
Thanks a lot !!.
Medalith.

Contact your salesperson with respect to licensing. It would be inappropriate for any of us, in this forum, to attempt to speak on behalf of Oracle.
It isn't Q4 yet so they don't bite. <g>
As to where agents should be installed ... it is well documented if you look here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/audit-vault/index.html
or read the installation docs.
But again contact your sales person. They have a sales engineer on their team that can advise you.

Audit Vault server Installation taking days.

Dear DBA's
This is my First Implementation of Database Vault.
I am installing Audit Vault 12.1 on Linux 5 update 8 in VM Where.
but in the middle of the installation it will ask for reboot--Install Complete.
after rebooting it is showing installing oracle and not changing the screen last 2days.
is Oracle Vault support VM Where?
How much time will it take to finish the Installation?
Common issues while installing Oracle Vault?
Kindly help me on above queries.
Regards,
SG

It is always best not to force install an Oracle product, or any product for that matter, into an environment where you don't have installation instructions and where support will be essentially non-existent as few others have that environment.
Audit Vault is a security product and belongs in the most secure, stable environment you can provide. Why not install based on Oracle's documented instructions?

Audit Vault Agent DB2 AS /400

Hi
Any body know if Audit Vault can support DB2 running on AS/400 ?
Regards

I'm not sure I understand your follow-on query. There is no such thing as an "Agent for DB2". Audit Vault only has one agent, and it can collect audit trails from all supported types of sources, including Oracle , SQL Server, Sybase, and DB2 LUW databases. The agent runs on several platforms - Linux on Intel (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants), Solaris on SPARC, AIX on POWER, HP-UX on PA-RISC and Itanium, and 32-bit Windows on Intel. It does not run on the AS400 at this time.
Regards.

Audit Vault agent on another server cannot read OS audit files on source

We have very highly secured database running on node1, we don't want to install agent on that server, so we installed it on node2. We want to use OSAUD collector to audit sys operations. But OSAUD collector is failing because it cannot read audit_trail_dest folder on the source database, network admins don't want to enable SSH from node2/oracle to node1.
Please suggest what are the options I have in this case.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the clarification on versions and architecture. In the future do not use the term "node" unless you are referring to RAC as it will cause very substantial confusion. You don't have two nodes ... you have two servers.
Throw it back at management. Ultimately they need to decide whether enabling secure communications makes sense in an environment where they wish to implement Audit Vault's very considerable capabilities.
I think your network admins need to be sent off to a re-education camp. One that reminds them that their purpose is to support the organization. I doubt your business model shows substantial revenue generation from network administration.

Audit Vault Server Installation

Hi,
I downloaded Audit Vault setup for Linux -- for Linux x86-64
I have Oracle prebuilt VM.
When I invoke ./runInstaller , it fails with error message " ./runInstaller: line 205: /usr/share/server.linux.x64/av/Disk1/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file"
Any suggestions?
Below is output of uname -a on the VM.
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-194.17.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 15:40:03 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
There are no other error messages.
Whats going wrong here?
regards
Nikhil

Hi:
Your VM is running 32-bit Linux, whereas your Audit Vault Server is intended for use on 64-bit only.

Oracle 10gR2 Grid Management Agents installation issues

I have downloaded the Grid Management Agent from the oracle downloads website and installed on one of my AIX servers but after running through the installation the server does not show up in Grid Control.
Our Grid Control is running on RH4 server.
The platform of host server i am attempting to install the agent on is AIX5.3
I unzipped the following file
AIX_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_3_0.zip
I ran the installer and it all seemed to work ok
I have checked the dbconsole is running,EMCTL STATUS DBCONSOLE
I have checked the agent is running EMCTL STATUS AGENT
I have checked the listener is running LSNRCTL STATUS
I have checked the database is up by CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
I can conect to the http://myserver:1158/em
The local enterprise manager works fine however as i say the server does not appear in my Grid Control console.
I have restarted al the afforementioned listeners, agents etc.
Can anyone give me a pointer as to why after what would appear to be a succesfull install the serevr does not appear in Grid Control console.

yingkuan again thanks for the reply
I have read the installation readme and it says i have these installation methods
1 - Methods for mass deployment
2 - Using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to install agent
3 - silent installation
4 - NFS Mounted agent installation
I am running the runInstaller method (2) from the list above
Like i say i basically downloaded the following file from Oracle Downloads:
AIX_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_3_0.zip
I FTP'd the file from my PC to the server i wish to be the agent.
I then ran the runInstaller from AIX_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_3_0/aix/agent/install.
However at no point was i asked to insert the OMS server or any other details.
I have read a couple of different readme files and followed what i believe to be the installation instructions. Could you or anyone else possibly throw any light on what i am doing wrong.
again any assitance greatly appreciated

SCOM Agent installation Issue

Dear all,
We have SCOM 2012 r2 , when we install agent through discovery . We got the below error
The Operations Manager Server cannot process the install/uninstall request for computer xxxxx due to failure of operating system version verification.
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: XXXXX
Error Code: 80070035
Error Description: The network path was not found.
Any idea what would be the issue here ?
Gone through some forum , but no luck

Hi
Kevin Holman has a great blog on troubleshooting agent install issues here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/01/27/console-based-agent-deployment-troubleshooting-table.aspx
The error you state has "Manual Agent Install" as the "fix".
Could you confirm:
1. The agent is in the same domain as the SCOM Management Server?
2. Can you do an NSLookup from the Management Server to the agent FQDN?
3. If you try and install the agent manually, do you get an error or does it complete?
Cheers
Graham

Could Audit Vault Agent Support Multiple Source Database?

Hello,
May I use one agent for two or more source database?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Tony

I had the same error, On the OUI log there was an error on the instalation of the Database Vault (although the installation finished OK), check if you have the same error output:

Looks like the problem was that I changed sys and system password on the dbca final windows, that maybe wronged the instalation scripts.
When re-installed the AV Server I just press ok on that window without changing any password and it worked.
Hope that Helps.

Hi,
it looks like the network error I had in the past. Doe haave a firewall between Client and Proxy ?
Is your client connected to more than one network ? If so it can be helpful to use the -a option.
I would check firewall andd routing.
