Grid Control Agents - Which version should I use?

Hi,
I have a Enterprise Manger server on Windows 2003 Release 4 (10.2.0.4). I'm going to be connecting to Windows 2003 (32 bit), Windows 2003 64Bit (AMD64), and Solaris servers. There are no 10.2.0.4 agents listed for AMD64 or Solaris.
I'm assuming I'll use 10.2.0.3 for Solaris. Does anyone think I'll have problems with mismatched server vs agent?
Also, from what I can tell on the download site, the 10.2.0.3 agent is also the most current for AMD64. Is this what is recommended? Or should I try to run a 32 bit 10.2.0.4 agent on AMD64?
Thanks!
Charlie

Use the 10.2.0.3 Agent

Which Version Should I Use?

I have BB 7130e and use Outlook 2003. I had my laptop replaced and mail seems to be working, but notes & address book aren't up to date so I wanted to reconfigure. When I look at software there are many versions and since this is an old smartphone I want to get the right version.
Thanks

Are you referring to the version of Desktop Manager?

I've never had Acrobat. Which version should I use?

I never had Acrobat Adobe on my cpu. I have a Macbook running10.7.5 version. The current pricing on AA 11 Is WAYYYYY too much.
Are there earlier version I can get and pay for?
Or if I get a subscription rate, Can I fix my current forms into PDF and quit the subscription when I am done?
Would I keep my forms in the PDF format I have created or will 'lose them'?

Hi otterear,
Acrobat XI Standard and Pro are the current versions available from Adobe. A subscription can be a more economical way to go, but if you want to cancel after a short period you'll want to choose the subscription that goes for a slightly higher monthly rate (with the lower rate, you agree to a year-long commitment).
If you're working with forms, you'll need Acrobat Pro. See Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
If you have a subscription and quit, your files are yours. You won't lose them; you just won't be able to open them in Acrobat after you cancel your subscription. (But you could still view them in Adobe Reader.)
Best,
Sara

Run Singlular Database Control and Grid Control Agents at the same time????

Hello,
I have walked into a new job where one of my 1st tasks is installing and configuring EM Grid Control version 10.2.0.3. Most of the individual databases already have singular EM/Database Control also set up for basic monitoring - some are 10.2.0.1 databases; some are 9.2.0.7 databases.
Can I continue to run the existing singular EM Database Controls for monitoring and managing the databases while I am getting connected, the new agents up and running, and the Grid Control templates and alerts and notification fully set up?
Or will I have to shut down those agents fully prior to installing the new 10.2.0.3 agents???
I am hoping so since they use different communication ports of 1158 for the singular Database Controls versus 4889 for Enterprise Wide Grid Control.
Thanks for any help in clarifying this.

OK, so as long as I keep the homes separate & straight, I could conceivably allow them both (Database Control and Grid Control Agent) to run AND be used at the same time - even when using secured grid control (https), correct? Just have the separate homes for separate agents and use separate ports for the different consoles?
Of course I might still run into an issue with this, ass I am also in the process of securing Grid Control... The current Database Console used by the app users to monitor is NOT an https url...
The real reason for this is because some app users are used to using the EM Database Control for application monitoring. I would like to not take that away from them while I am in the process of setting up all of the users, roles, alerts, groups, etc. on Grid Control.

I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues.

Get the AT&T version. The verizon is CDMA, which doesn't work in other countries while the AT&T version uses SIM cards, so you can use it with other networks.

Installing Grid Control Agent and GC repository on UNIX

Hello,
Could You please explain me If I should install Grid Control Agent as separate OS user (different than existing oracle database), or should I place it in ORACLE_HOME of oracle database . I'm not sure how to separate binaries of Agent and Database server.
Moreover same goes to GC repository, should I install it as separate user or in ORACLE_HOME of existing database.
I'm looking for best practise suggestions.
Regards.
p.s.
All Is about the newest versions of the software.

Hello,
Could You please explain me If I should install Grid
Control Agent as separate OS user (different than
existing oracle database), or should I place it in
ORACLE_HOME of oracle database . These are two completely separate things. You o not need to use a new OS user to use a different ORACLE_HOME.
I'm not sure how to separate binaries of Agent and Database server.If you install the whole grid control setup, you put it into a new ORACLE_HOME and the install will give you separate OMS, Agent and database subdirectories.
Make sure the new ORACLE_HOME is from any existing ORACLE_HOME.
Moreover same goes to GC repository, should I install
it as separate user or in ORACLE_HOME of existing
database.Why?
I'm looking for best practise suggestions.Given the special DB initialization parameter requirement, and assuming you do not want to put the repository on a RAC database, I think the best practice is to
1) install Grid Control on it's own machine;
2) install it using the 'complete OMS and Repository' default install
3) add OMS on additional machines as needed for the load.
4) Follow the suggestions in http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10953/toc.htm

Grid Control agent install fails

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Oracle Grid control agent on linux machine and getting the following error:
./runInstaller

My /tmp has 1.5 GB of free space so that's really not the issue here. I know that the installation goes well if I use the Universal Installer that comes bundled with 10G RDBMS, but on machines with Oracle 8.1.7.4-9.2.0.5 I wouldn't like to update OUI's because of this issue. Anyone having this problem/solution?
Br,
Anssi

The issue is not about silent install or temp or root.
I have installed Agent on Linux without issues after I read closely the oracle requirements on linux.
Make sure you read oracle linux requirement, there is a patch you need to download that will create proper setting for oracle on linux.
Try look for Application Server 10g installation guide, this patch is documented for Application Server 10g on linux.
The patch will create oracle.sh file that linux will run each time user oracle is activated.
If you still get problem let me know through forum or direct.
Thanks
George

Question about Grid Control Agents on a Veritas Cluster (or any cluster)

Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to setup Grid Control agents on a Veritas Cluster.
My cluster is made up of two Sun M4000 servers running Solaris 10 x64 (node1 and node2), and 8 virtual hosts setup to fail between the nodes. Each of these virtual hosts has several mount points from a SAN, and contain Oracle 9 and 10 homes as well as databases. The versions are 9.2.0.8 and 10.2.0.3.
I have a full grid control agent install on each node to mount points that don't fail over to the other nodes. These agents monitor the nodes themselves.
Now for my question, is it better to do full intalls of the grid agent in each virtual host or to use the "emctl deploy agent" from the full installs already on node1 and node2 to the virtual hosts? Or is there some other, better way to do this.
Either method results in 9 grid control agents on a node if all the virtual hosts are on that box. I've experimented with both agent deploys and installs a bit and found that the cpu usage goes though the roof with that many agents on one server. Maybe I don't have them configured correctly, but every now and then they spike cpu usage to 100%, and these servers have 8, dual core processors in them with 32GB of RAM.
Thanks for any tips!
Currently, my setup looks something like this, if it helps:
ORANODE1...........................................ORANODE2
user: oracle..........................................user: oracle
full agent install....................................full agent install
VirtualHost1
user: ora_user1
Oracle 10G Home

Will the agent 10.2.0.3 work with Grid Control 10.2.0.1
Yes.

Install grid control agent 10.2.0.5 on VM Server?

Hi:
I'm using Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10.2.0.5 with the Virtual Server extensions and it is working fine. However, I've noticed that my Virtual Server machine (dom0 -- not the guests) does not show as a host on my Targets tab.
One drawback to this is that I've tried to import the templates that already exist in my Seed Pool into the Software Components tab of my Virtual Servers tab. It has an option to find a Host, but the only hosts lists are those that have Grid Control agents on them.
Is this expected behavior?
Would it be beneficial to install the Grid Control 10.2.0.5 agent on my VM Server 2.1.5 so that I can load the templates into the Software Components tab?

pasinc wrote:
Thanks. I do have all of the Templates under Resources in my Virtual Server Pool. However, none of them appear under the Software Components tab. Should they?Not necessarily.
If not, what is the difference between the two? Why don't they appear as Software Components?Software Components = stored in the Grid Control Software Library
Server Pool Resources = stored in the Server Pool's /OVS/seed_pool
So, the Software Components shows you templates that have been stored in Grid Control and these templates can be deployed to any of your server pools (you can have multiple server pools). Once this happens, you'll see the template in both locations. It's a little counter-intuitive, I admit. If you're used to VM Manager, then the Server Pool Resources is the same as what you'd see in VM Manager. Then Grid Control adds the central Software Components option as well.
Does that make sense?

Allow grid control agent to connect to a database as sys with no listener

Hi
I have a database which I would like to monitor using the 10g grid control agent.
the agent and DB are on a Unix Box
The database has a listener, but because it is part of a contingency system we keep the listener shut down
my question is:
Is it possible to configure the agent to connect to a Database (as sysdba) without the listener for that database running?
Regards
Graham
Edited by: Grahambo on May 14, 2009 5:41 AM

No its is not possible if listener is not running

Security concern about grid control agent

I am planning for grid control rollout. Our system administrator is concerned about
security of grid control agent. For example, I do not know the Oracle password,
I sudo to Oracle after login as myself.
What are the options do I have ? I have told my system admin that
other companies use "oracle" - the database sysdba/software owner as agent owner.
But my system admin think this is a big security risk since he has to tell me the
oracle password

In more explicit terms, what is the security concern you have?
Specifically, I do not see what you mean by the sentence:
when I install grid control agent as "oracle", I provide "oracle "password in order
to run job on our unix server.By "oracle" are you referring to the Oracle Software owner account, by which the Database and/or EM software was installed?
Please explain how the job is related to installation of management agent. If you are talking about running jobs after installation, when agent is configured and running, where and how exaclty are you required to enter "oracle" password?

Got warnning in Grid control agent deployment

I met the the error message '
PROBLEM : The host name in /etc/hosts is not proper.
WARNING : Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
RECOMMENDATION : Please verify the hostname is /etc/hosts and the start the installation. '
while I deploy Grid Control agent.
My /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.191 ms191.ranfone.com ms191
192.168.0.153 main
ms191 is my OMS SERVER host. main is the target that I want to deploy agent.
I know the hosts should be configured like this .
ip hostname.domain host
however I don't have a domain name . is it neccessary?
Thanks for your kind help.

I have modified my /etc/hosts file and the problem is solved.
and I don't think the localhost.domain line should be commented.
if so, the listener can't start successfully.
anyway. thanks for you reply.
