Do I need Enterprise Edition license for Grid Control

We are planning on installing Oracle 10g Grid Control onto a server that does not currently have Oracle on at all. It is a 2 processor server. Using this we will be monitoring Oracle databases on 2 other servers, each of which also have 2 processors.
My question is do I need Enterprise Edition or will Standard Edition be ok? We will be using the diagnostics pack in Grid Control, and also rman on the same server. Do I definitely need Enterprise Edition?
Many thanks,
Paula.

Licence questions should be always addressed to an authorized Oracle sales representative, no one in this forum can give you an official and committed answer, you can rely on.
At least documentation shows all Management Packs require the Enterprise Edition:

Need architecture/config details for GRID Control

Hi All,
I have scoured the Oracle documentation, but I am still interested in the details of the architecture and configuration of OEM Grid Control. I have installed version 10.2.. I want to know more about the various components, how they interact, how information flows in the configuration, how discovery and data collection works etc...
Can you point me to some resources, or maybe a person I can do on offline email conversation with???

Did you take a look at the Grid Control documentation? The links are under http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=21 and the doco for the different platforms are there.

How can I get oracle 9.2.0.7 Enterprise edition Database for Solaris?

Hi, everybody,
Reccently got involved in a project that require to setup Oracle 9.2.0.7 Enterprise edition Database for Solaris. However from oracle's download page, the only sun platform version for 9i is 9.2.0.1. so to get to 9.2.0.7, do i need to download upgrade patch somewhere? Did anyone go through similar setup before and could you share with me your advice?
thanks in advance!
-liang

Oracle produces media distribution for major releases only, not for patched versions (there has been only a few exceptions). A major release can be determined out from the first three digits, 9.2.0.
Available versions at otn and edelivery are just major versions, the requiered version 9.2.0.X.X is avalable only through patchsets.
By the way only a patchset changes the last two digits, if you require a specific individual patch it doesn't change these last two digits and a specific installation procedure is provided.
Last available patchset for 9iRel2 is 9.2.0.8.0

Enterprise Edition license using vor development

Hi @ everybody,
i'm just thinking about the license model of Oracle. In our company whe have one enterprise edition license. But when i want to use a second server for developing and testing can i install the enterprise edition a second time on an other server with the same license?
Thanks and best regards,
David

whilst I would agree in principle with legal advice we can get a flavour of what Oracle think from their own website where they clearly as mud outline what they deem a developer licence is

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.

Problem Load Balancing connections for Grid Control Console on port 80!

I have two OMS and I'm balancing connections for Grid Control Console using a Software Load Balancer according with "Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Configuration". I have success where the load balancer is listening on port different to 80. When I configure Load Balancer to listen on port 80(architecture requirement) and distribute load between the two OMS(Port 7779), when login to Enterprise Manager Console the URL on the web browser changes to the port configured for HTTP server (port 7780) wich produces an "unable to connect" error message; and this behaviour also happends in some of the internal links of Grid Control Console too. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

What is Hardware/O.S. Recommendations for Grid Control server

I understand both Linux and Window servers are supported for Grid Control Installation.
However, since we are running Exadata database and cells, what would be your recommendation when we choose which O.S. we should run G.C. on?
Since the entire Exadata environment is running Linux, so, personally I'd prefer to use Linux server. But, what is your preference, and please detail your reasons.
Thank you!

Grid Control (OEMGC 11g) for Windows is only available (certified) for 32 bit Windows. So you can run into memory limitations, dependeing on the number of agents/targets you will be monitoring. Second you have to install Cygwin on your Windows server if you want (or need) to be able to SSH to a Linux/Unix server. Installing Cygwin is very problematic to say the least.
If you would use OEMCC (12c), and I don't know why you wouldn't, you can install the 64 bit version for Windows however you still have to install Cygwin.
So in your case I would go for the Linux version.

A possible bug for Grid control?

Hi, Dear all,
We installed Grid control 10.2.0.1 on Redhat Linux R3 with existing database(10.2.0.4).
During the installation, we succeeded for repository creating but failed at OMS Configuration.
When I start oms in cmd line, I got the following error: the repository database can not be connected.
The description for the environment:
1. OMS server and repository database are installed on the same server, on which HA is used.
2. There are two floating IP on this machine,
IP | server name | used for |
xx.xx.xx.124 | cnsz030318 | oms server |
xx.xx.xx.80 | oem.db.paci.com.cn | repository database |
3.When we installed the oms with OUI, the repository server we input is oem.db.paci.com.cn
The problem we found:
During the installation, the repository was created successfully. But it failed at OMS configuration.
The error we got: the repository database can not be connected.
there are two lines in emoms.properities which seems strange:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepServer=oem.db.paic.com.cn
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn)(PORT\=1535)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SID\=oem10g)))
The emdRepServer is what we have input on OUI:oem.db.paic.com.cn. But for the connectDescriptor, it is changed to "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn", which does not exist at all!.
Now, we have worked around this problem by adding "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn" in the /etc/hosts.
But my question is, why the connectDescriptor set the HOST\ as cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn? Why does it not use the name we input in OUI (oem.db.paic.com.cn)?
Maybe it is a bug for Grid control?

Did you install with "Use existing database" or "Use new database"?
I recommend that you use fully qualified domain names only!

Oracle Enterprise Edition Licensing - Core metrics

Oracle: 10G (10.2.0.4) 64-bit, Enterprise Edition
Running on Xeon Intel chips, of which I believe have a core factor multiple of 0.5
We have 540 NUP licenses on our site. We obviously have a Live box, and a few test boxes.
One of our test boxes has 4 cores (Intel Xeon chip). Using the minimum usage licensing for Enterprise Edition, after the core factor of 0.5 is applied we would count 2 cores, I believe we would need 25 NUP licenses per core, which would = 50 NUP minimum for this test box.
Is this correct??
My concern is that there may be a minimum of 4 cores (after factor) for Enterprise Edition. I cannot find anything that confirms this. I can only find maximums for Standard Edition, nothing for Enterprise Edition.
If there is a minimum of 4 cores, then I need to pull out one of these test boxes.
Anyone knows the facts on this?
Many thanks.

Again like everybody said above, you should contact Oracle Sales Rep.
But Still let me answer your question, There is noting like minimum of 4 cores for enterprise edition. You can have NUP license even on 1 CPU.
Another thing which might benefit you that, Oraclel gives you Limited Use Enterprise Licenses for your Test/Dev boxex which means You only need minimum of enterprise 10 NUP's for Test/Dev instead of minimum of 25. This will save you 15 NUP's per processor. But for this you have to talk to Oracle or any third party vendor.
But again best bet is o talk to Sales Rep.

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

I think self training can be considered in this category, therefore I think there is no need to buy a license for that.
