CloudControl 12c: deploy Agent 12c on RAC via RPM?

Hello ,
I've just installed the CloudControl 12c and I'm pretty astonished about the new look and feel of the GUI (compared to GridControl 10g) :-)
Installing the agent on hosts using the RPM-package is rather easy. But I'm not sure how to install the agent on hosts which are used by a RAC database
(and haven't found anything in the documentation so far). Would it be correct to install the agent - using the RPM-method - on every node of the RAC?
When installing agent 10g there was the option "install agent for RAC/Cluster install".
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

After adding the hosts you will also need to add the cluster targets. You can after you have deployed your agents by navigating to Setup | Add Targets | Add Targets Manually and then choosing "Oracle Cluster and High Availability Service".
When prompted for a Cluster Target Host, enter one of your RAC hosts.

What is best practice for deploying agent(10204) on RAC 9i

Hello,
What would be best practice for deploying agent(10204) on RAC 9i? Should the agent be deployed on each node or should the agent be deployed on the cluster file system? What are the advantages/disavantages deploy on individual nodes vs. on cluster file system? Please advice. Thank you in advance.

Please use agent push application to deploy agent on all the nodes at one shot

============It's also complaining that the error message cannot be found.
I think I followed the same way to deploy Agent on this server than I did on other where it was successfully done. So, probably some configuration is different somewhere on the server itself which has to be checked and changed. Any idea ?
Nicolas.

Thank you for stopping by.

I have maybe 20 remote Windows server (all Windows 2003 SP2) which I deployed the Agent on, and 3 are failing even though I did exactly the same over all the servers.
2 are returning the error below :
Parameter format not correct - "ppl".
The syntax of the command is incorrect.1 is returning the error I described in my first post. I sent you the files for that last one by email since this is the one I started to talk about in that thread.
And yes, I agree, probably something specific on those 3 servers which I have to figure out.

12c Grid agent deployment procedure

Dear DBAs
I have installed the 12c grid control on OEL6.3 and deployed agents for all of our databases which are running on AIX,Windows,Linux and added all our databases in grid control. But due to some reasons my grid server was crashed, So again I have installed the 12c grid control on new server(OEL6.3) So Now I need to uninstall the agents in all of our target servers and needs to deploy again? or do we have any way for adding those databases in my new grid control with out uninstalling and installing the agents on target servers
Thanks,
Satish Kumar Sadhu

Hi Satish,

The given link is saying that we need to remove the existing agent and need to deploy the agent again.

Only necessary to remove the Agent Home, a.k.a. Agent State Directory. The binary home should be kept.
Anyway, the instructions have been taken out of the book for review. Please hold off following them (if you have a copy of the old version of the manual).

Cloud agent 12c on windows targets

Hello,
I've installed the Cloud agent 12c on a couple of windows targets using Add Hosts wizard. For each of them, I installed Cygwin on each target machine.
My question is: Is Cygwin required for cloud agent 12 installation on windows targets?
In other words, can't we "download" the install files and install it the old way? I'm trying to avoid installing cygwin since i have some old legacy servers to manage too. The less I have to install on these legacy machines the better.
I'm reading up on the emcli way of installing the cloud control agent as well. I know Add Hosts wizard and emcli are the recommended methods to deploy the agent.
Thx.

You will need cygwin if you want to control or deploy the agents from the OEM console itself. Its basically starting a ssh module which helps in remote transfer and remote command executions. You normally do not need cygwin once you installed or deployed the agent except patching those agents. You can always stop the service after the deployment so it won't take any resources on your legacy systems.
The other method is here:

12c management agent on repository server doesn't start following a system crash

My environment architecture for 12c Cloud Control (Used for personal practice purpose) can be explained as follows:
@DBSERVER: (OEL6.5, x86-64)
     - 12c Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EMCC)
     - 11.2.0.4 database that acts as a repository for 12c EMCC
Monitored host is on a virtual machine (VM12) that is currently in the DBSERVER:
VM12: (OEL6.5, x86-64)
     - 12c Management Agent that monitors the host and the database (12.1.0.1)
The server was running fine for the last few months until recently when the computer had rebooted abruptly. Abrupt rebooting occurred a few times in the past, but this time it had an issue at the time of rebooting. The DBSERVER at the time of a startup starts the OMS and the AGENT. The OMS starts perfectly, but the AGENT does not start. Upon trying to start the agent, it shows the following error message:
[orcl11204g@dbserver bin]$ ./emctl start agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3
Copyright (c) 1996, 2013 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Starting agent ................. failed.
Target Manager failed at Startup: targets.xml was rejected: loaded with a wrong agent token
Consult emctl.log and emagent.nohup in: /home/u01/oemrel3/agent/agent_inst/sysman/log
[orcl11204g@dbserver bin]$
The targets.xml file contains the following information which doesn't seem to be of any help:
[orcl11204g@dbserver emd]$ cat targets.xml
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<Targets>
</Targets>
[orcl11204g@dbserver emd]$
Can anybody provide the help during such circumstances?
The DBSERVER repository database, listener and oms are up and running while the agent is down. The VM12 database, listener and agent is up and running. Is there any other file that needs to be checked for additional information?

--> $/AGENT_INST/bin/emctl stop agent
If agent does not shutdown gracefully then kill all agent background processes by first grepping for agent perl and java processes only
--> Move your existing target.xml file
mv target.xml target.xml.old
--> Create an empty targets.xml file under /AGENT_INST/sysman/emd with the below content
<Targets>
</Targets>
--> Start the agent
$AGENT_INST/bin/emctl start agent
This starts agent but without any targets populated in targets.xml
To discover targets perform agent resynchronization operation from console

Deploying agents via GPO

Hi All,
I have a SCOM 2012 R2 server. I'd like to automate the deployment of agents to every server in the domain. The agent is MSI and is it supported to deploy agents via Group Policy software installation?

Hi,
Yes we can push the agent out to PC's using standard software deployment through group policy
When using group policy machines will not automatically be approved and you will have to add them manually unless you Auto-approve new manually installed agents.
There are multi ways to deploy agents, please go through the below article for more details:

How to deployment for AV agent installation on RAC enviroment?

before the AV agent installation on RAC , the agentname and agentuser should be added to av server first. only one agentname/agentuser for the two nodes, or one agentname/agentuser for each node ? also ,the agentusr and the avsrcusr account only one account for two node ?
1. how to tell the agentname and agentuser account before agent installation ? more details are better.
2.with the 9i RAC DB at AIX, need install CRS first?
3. I setup an Linux cluster enviroment ,and a windows cluseter envirement(no CRS installed). but when install the agent , if the agentname set to hostname of the virtual IP ,the error is : ERR0R1: The av server is expecting the agent with given name to be installed in another machine. if input the agentname (which agenthost is node1) , it contiued,but no "node select GUI" comes up (according to the the GUI of Morgan's Library at: http://www.psoug.org/reference/audit_vault.html
),it executes a single agent installation on node1.
I don't know it's wrong configuration of my linux or windows cluster enviroment , or there are some import steps missed ?
it's urgent ,thanks!!

It is not urgent ... no one is drowning, your house is not on fire, so please don't abuse this forum. Thank you.
Audit Vault is auditing one database ... multiple instances. First create the RAC cluster the way you normally would. Then go to any single cluster node and install the agent. The agent installation will recognize that it is a cluster and ask you whether you want to install on one or all nodes and let you choose which ones.
There is no need to perform separate installations on each node.

Installing multiple Deployment Agents ... or vNext?

As I'm expanding my use of RM, I'm running into a need to reuse target machines for both my 'RM-development/release' testing, and 'RM-real-internal-code-releases'. My issue is that the deployment agent on the targeted server is configured to receive
from only one RM server.
I'm considering installing a second Deployment instance and configuring it to the separate RM server. My concerns are:
- can two deployment agents co-exist on the same server?
- Is this just a bad idea in general, since I will have to install the second deployment agent on 4-6+ servers, to provide a full testing suite.
I understand the RM strategy is to go agentless, and that vNext is agentless. Should I switch to vNext? Is it stable enough?
thx

John and Graham,
thx for your responses.
John: No 'developer tools' can be installed on the target machines under STIGS government security controls (http://iase.disa.mil/stigs).
Graham: The following is my simplified tactical plan. My strategic plan is to jump to 2015 and go full continuous delivery.
These are the step I went thru. Hopefully they will be of use to someone else.
To overcome the STIGS restrictions on installation of developer tools, I tried to replace the files reported missing the the RM log
(TFSBuild.exe, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, etc) that support running a TFSBuild via command line. No good.
Since I had to execute on a machine with VS installed, I changed my RM stage environments' target machines to be my TeamBuild build agent machines. This executes my build, including my MSBuild/Powershell scripts. Since my scripts already handle
the remoting of files and configurations to the intended target machine, it works.
The drawbacks are 1. no triggering of RM from a TeamBuild, due to the mismatched templates being used. 2. This configuration of the staging environments, ie. none configured to the actual target machines, leaves me no migration path for moving code
over to RM to be executed.
I've decided to live with #1 and address #2. The resolution is to split each stage into two stages. Using "Dev" as the first stage, I set up pre-Dev and Dev stages. The pre-Dev stage runs the TFSBuild command on the TeamBuild
agent. The Dev stage is then available to run any additional code added or migrated. This is a bit clunky and complicates the approval flow a bit, but...

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus via SCCM

Hi
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus via SCCM, I followed this process https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/How-To-Deploying-Office-70e8b1eb#content , we don't use the application catalogue but I made the application available to be run via system
center.
Though can't get it deployed, I keep getting some errors about checking internet connections ...though I can run the command manually and it'works.
Does anyone managed to install it via SCCM ?

Thank you for the reply,
Where I am lost is where it downloads the Office C2R from ?

Installation of OEM 12c and DB 12c / repository

Hi,
currently I am using an Oracle DB 11.2.0.1 to get to know Oracle (administration, SQL, PL/SQL) and to prepare for certification.
Now I want to install OEM 12c with Plugin DB 12c because there are many new features that are not covered in 11.2. Therefore I need 11.2.0.3. or an upgrade to 11.2.0.3 as database repository for OEM 12c. But I can not install 11.2.0.3 or upgrade to this version because a support ID is required for download.
How can I install EM 12c and DB 12c for the purpose of learning oracle and testing Oracle related features using my OTN account as usual?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Eli

Hi,
@sybrand_b
thanks for your message.
I have already read some documents and the installation of Oracle 12c including EM Express was successful. Then I tried different OEM combinations but ended up in non compatible OEM12c - repositoryDB - DB12c scenarios or would have needed a support ID.
I am slightly confused regarding full versions, updates and plugins, compatible vs incompatible combinations, which OS works for me etc. and try to figure out a sequence of steps that works anyway. And the parts to download are quite big.
The main steps are
1. Installation of repository DB (which one, which OS?)
2. Installation of the latest OEM 12.1.0.3 using the repository DB
3. Oracle DB 12.1.0.3 has to be plugged into OEM
Which software bundles to install OEM 12c incl. DB 12c should and can I download using my OTN Account?
Which OS works best with downloadable versions? Should I use Oracle Linux64 or a different OS or can I use Ubuntu 64 as well?
Best regards
Eli
