Oracle Grid control 11gR1 : emctl start oms gives OMS version 11.1.0.1.0 is

Hi, I have installed grid control 11gR1 on OEL 5.6 64 bit env. The repository db is oracle 11.1.0.7.0 with WLS 10.3.2
My install of the Grid contol was a fresh install on a db and weblogic. Whenever i start the emctl start oms, i get the following error
OMS version 11.1.0.1.0 is not compatible with repository version 10.2.0.4.0 Repository needs to be upgraded
Eventhough my db is 11, which is the emctl giving the above error? Its starting the EMGC admin and OMS server ( i can see them running in weblogic console), but my EM console is not coming up, saying either WLS or OMS is down.
i have tried to recreate repos db, droped and created it, but no luck.
Appreciate any pointers. Also, if there is a sequence of steps to follow the grid contol uninstall and install, pls let me know.

thx for the post. I had a successful install and I then logged on to the EM console and configured it to monitor the db instances. After a few days, the server restarted and after which i wasn't able to start the OMS and hence unable to logon to EM console.

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.

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.

Grid Control 11GR1 and Weblogic Server

Am looking doing a new install of grid control 11gR1 on windows server 2008. I'm not all that familiar with the weblogic server. Can this be installed on the same server that Grid Control is running from?

Hello,
I'm not all that familiar with the weblogic server. Can this be installed on the same server that Grid Control is running from?Yes, you can. For OEM Grid Control 11gR1, you'll have to install WLS 10.3.2 and apply the Patch WDJ7.
You'll have more details on the following Notes of My Oracle Support:
How to Install Web Logic Server 10.3.2 for Installing 11g Grid Control [ID 1063762.1]
How to Download and Apply recommended WLS patch (WDJ7) on WLS home for 11g Grid Control Install/Upgrade [ID 1072763.1]Hope this help.

Installing Grid Control 11gR1 - certified component combinations

I'm reading through the various requirements and certifications and am a bit confused. I am working to install EM Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 (can't use 12c as I need to monitor a PeopleTools version not yet certified with 12c). I also should say that I am looking to run all of this on Windows-based machines.
As I read through the various certifications for Grid Control 11, I find that EM itself needs to be on a Windows 32 bit machine but it seems that its corresponding infrastructure apps (Weblogic and Oracle DB Repository) require x64.
So it would seem I could run the backend pieces (web and db) on a Windows 2008 x64 box and just put Grid Control on a Windows 2008 32 bit box? Is that correct?
My goal is to monitor FMS v9.0 on PeopleTools 8.52 and HCM v9.1 on PeopleTools 8.50. Backend databases for both apps are MSSQL and all layers are running on Windows 2008 x64 boxes.
TIA,
Jeri

Grid Control performance tab not available when on the target home of ASM

I noticed recently that the "Performance" tab/link is not available when you are using 10g Grid Control and you are on the home page of an ASM instance. Can this be explained?

Hi MarGur
I try to help you. The OEM Grid Control in some times not discover the Oracle 9i databases and you must to add manually.
First, check in your target machine that the user owner of agent software have rights of read and write in the ORACLE_HOME directories of Oracle 9i databases.
Go to Grid Control Console
Select Targets ---> Databases
Press Add --> Select the host ebisdb2.oneshield.com and press continue
The automatic discover process begin. When finished is very normal that nor discover the Oracle 9i databases. You press the Add manually button
in the page that appear you must entry all the configuration information of database:
ORACLE_HOME directory
DBSNMP USER
DBSNMP PASSWORD
HOSTNAME
PORT
SID
Check that the dbsnmp user in your database is unlock and press the TEST button to verify the connection work fine.
After this many windows appear of configuration process, and you will put the sys password and host credentials.
If you have problems, tell me

Grid Control only 32-bit available for Windows

Couple of questions I was hoping to get some help with. Client is a windows only shop. We're installing Windows 2008 R1 64-bit, but Grid Control is only available with 32-bit for Windows. This will definitely cause issues, is the only around it to either load 32-bit, or is there any other option. And when will 64-bit be available for Windows? Thanks in advance.

Grid Control itself is a 32 bit application . It installs and works furpectly well on 64 bit Windows. I doubt we will ever see a 64-bit version of GC in the 10g series ... perhaps when they swap out OC4J with WLS and rebrand it as 11g they might put in a 64-bit version, but quite honestly there is little need for the 64-bit capability in the middle tier.
However, the database part can, and should, be swapped out for a 64-bit database. Which is supported in the install method.
I STRONGLY ENcourage the following sequence:
1) Install 11gR1 database 64 bit, preferably patched to 11.1.0.7
2) Install Grid Control 10.2.0.2.1 (note the .1) for Windows using the 'into an existing database' option
3) Upgrade Grid Control to 10.2.0.5 (but that MAY require the 11.1.0.7 patch - check the README)
I STRONGLY DIScourage using the 'create with new database' as it will take a whole lot longer, requires upgrading and/or patching the database anyway, and potentially leaves you with an obsolete DB to contend with in the long run.
I also encourage skipping 10.2.0.4 if possible - it's more than a ruddy pain to patch to that one. I generally plan on 5-6 hours if I am forced to install a 10.2.0.4 GC from scratch, whereas the process I list above takes just over 2 hours to get to a 10.2.0.5

OEM Grid Control and PSOVM

Hi,
Oracle provides templates for OEM Grid Control (x86 32bits), it would be really great to have it more integrated within PSOVM.
How could it be integrated within PSOVM ?
1. On the PSOVM database server, have a database agent installed
2. On the PSOVM App/Batch/PIA server, have a Peoplesoft agent installed
Whether the first is over used almost everywhere, the latter is not used by many customers, and really that's a pity and would be great to have it in first place in demo purpose.
Is that doable to have it installed by default ?
If done, we'll just have to install the Peoplesoft plugin in OEM Grid Control...
Nicolas.

Assuing this a regular backup . by any chance had the box credential changed?

10gR2 Grid Control with previous Agents?

I have 10gR2 Grid Control installed on a Linux Server. I want to use it to create a DataGuard standby database. The issue is that the primary database is 10gR2 on a HP-UX server using ASM and the standby database will also be 10gR2 on a HP-UX server using ASM. Will the 10gR2 Linux Grid Control be able to handle this since the agent on the primary will be 10.1.0.4? Note: 10gR2 is available for HP-UX but 10gR2 Grid Control is not yet available so that is why I have 10.1.0.4 agent.

Yes , it is able to handle

Have you seen this before?

I contact Oracle Support on this issue, here are the details.
Generic Note
Hi Marcelo, the note you sited Creating Standby Database With Enterprise Manager Failing [ID 1400482.1
Says something a little different than what you tried.
You did RECOVER DATABASE for manual recover and the error says use backup control file.
For a standby to do manual recovery it's
*alter database recover standby database ;*
It may behave better.
But the note implies to just apply enough redo to have the standby consistent enough to turn on flashback.
This can be done by starting managed recovery and applying some redo log sequences.
So the flashback being turned on is too soon, but should have worked anyway. I think it would turn on managed recovery though.
This also happens since the job doesn't use dorecover since recovery can be done with managed recovery.
So most likely there isn't enough activity on the primary and the online redo has not been archived yet.
So some log switches on the primary will send enough redo to get consistent so you can turn on flashback and finish it.
*So why did it happen?*
Possibly
Bug 13250486 - ADD STANDBY DATABASE FOR TARGET WITH FLASHBACK ON FAILS WITH ERROR
Base bug 12923814 FLASHBACK AND ARL DELETION OPTIONS IGNORED IN ADD STANDBY DATABASE WIZARD
fixed in Grid Control 12.1c
There is currently no patch available for 11.1.0.1 Grid Control. We would have to open a bug to confirm you hit this in 11.1.0.1 and get a patch.
*A workaround would be to turn off flashback at the primary then try to create the standby.*
*Once the standby is created you can turn flashback back on for the primary and if required, the standby.*
You can try again to see, or finish the standby manually as I stated above.
I will still need the diagnostic information below.
Action Plan
=========
The product verion in this SR is for 12.1.0.1 Grid Control. I assume it should be 11.1 since you stated it is.
Grid Control job log that shows the errors.
alert logs from the primary and standby.
Please run these two diagnostic scripts and upload the output.

Grid Control architecture.

Can I have 64 bits primary and 32 bits standby logical server controlled by 32 bits Grid Control.
Primary server (64 bits) + Standby server (logical) 32 bits + Grid Control (32 bits)

Oliver,
Thanks for the comments. The article is based on practical experience. If one was to recommend a pool of 2 management servers for a large corporate with 1000 servers, what that would mean is that if 1 server was brought down for any maintenance reason (for eg. applying an EM patch), all the EM work load would be on the remaining management server. So it is better to have 3 management servers instead of 2 when the EM system is servicing so many targets. Otherwise, the DBAs would be a tad angry since only 1 remaining managment server would not be able to service them properly during the time of the maintainance fix on the first management server.
The article ends with these words: "You can easily manage hundreds or even *thousands* of targets with such an architecture. The large corporate which had deployed this project scaled easily up to managing 600 to 700 targets with a pool of just three management servers, and the future plan is to manage *2,000 or more* targets which is quite achievable." The 2000 or more is based on the same architecture of 3 managment servers.
So as per the best practice document, 2 management servers would be fine for 1000 servers, although I would still advise 3 servers in practice.
For your case of 200 servers, it depends on the level of monitoring you are planning to do, and the type of database managment activities that
will be done by the DBAs. For eg, if the Dbas are planning on creating standby databases now and then through Grid Control, running backups daily
via Grid Control, cloning databases in Grid Control, patching databases in Grid Control and so on, I would definitely advise a pool of 2 servers
in your case. 2 is always better than 1.

Porus.

How to switch target from DB Console to Grid Control

Hi,
Here's the deal :
I need to switch from a Database which was running in DB Console locally on that comp to be part of the 10g Grid Control ( on a OEL Linux 4 ).
I installed the agent and set it to use the Grid Server but I cant get the listener to communicate (on the grid) ; coz am sure I need to somehow knock that database from using DBConsole and switch over to be part of the GRID.
I verified that emd.properties of that agent has the correct Repository URL.
Could you point me in the right direction ? I'd really appreciate that.
Thank you.

Hi,
The reason I did the deconfig option was cause : Initially the database on "server3.sam" was configured to use DBConsole. Later on when I decided to hook this server ( and DB ) to the grid, I found that the GRID didnt recognize the the DB on "server3.sam" and the server name wont get added under HOSTS.
Even though the emd.properties had the correct Repository URL of the GRID, it didnt help.
At this stage here is what I found as per Oracle Documentation :
" You will need to deconfigure Database Control if you want to configure Grid Control to use a database already configured with Database Control. "
So I assumed that for all DB's currently using DBConsole, inorder for them to link up with GRID we had to deconfigure them first and run dbca to reconfigure with GRID settings. This worked out for me. Hence my suggestion.
If this aint the correct way to hook up, could you please enlighten me ? Also can you tell me what exactly is deconfig doing ?

Oracle 9i Database -- Performance window in Grid Control not data available

Hi
I have Grid Control 10.2.0.4 on Red Hat and i monitoring some Oracle 9i Instances. When i go to any of these instances to the Performance section, at begininig , ever, not data available in all the graphics.
When i select manual refresh the graphic begin to build information. But if i close the explorer and reopen , all graphics not have any information.
Is the situation normal for all Oracle 9i databases?
The explanation is that Oracle 9i not have AWR ?
Thanks

You have too few RAM on your machine, even you could successfully create an instance, it's going to slow as hell.
When you run DBCA to create database, instead of actually creating the database you could choose to dump the SQL scripts and files used for database creation to a directory. This way will give you a chance to modify pfile and reduce the SGA parameter. I believe the default SGA of instance created by DBCA is already beyond your RAM limit.

Grid control 11g on Windows availability

Hi
Does any one have any idea when the 11g Grid is available for Windows environment? Can this be available for 64 bit windows OS platform also. We have 11gR2 Oracle Grid infrastructure RAC running on our dev farm. I did applied patches to Grid Control 10.2.0.5.0 to support DB 11.2.0.1.0 targets using metalink doc id
[ID 953846.1]. Scan listeners are not showing as targets with 10.2.0.5 grid. Even local listener is not coming while discovering. At cluster managed service page if I create an application service it adds servers physical address to tnsnames.ora file instead of vips or scan ips.
If anyone resolve this kind of issues it will be helpfull.
Thanks

AmosYEP, overhere the same problem.
Can't figure out yet what the problem exactly is.
In our case I deinstalled a working 10.2.0.4 agent ( same port same config ) and tried to install 11g Agent.
It fails with the above message. We however are on AIX, and that hasn't a 'netstat -p' option to find occupied ports easily.
Because the database is question needs to be monitored constantly I now reinstalled the 10.2.0.4 agent again and works seemlessly
Still unsolved.....
