Grid Control and Database Control

If I'm installing a new set of database servers (10g Rel2 10.2.0.5 - linux RHEL4) that I plan to have under Grid control (on a separate Grid-control only machine) can I opt to not install the Database Control on the monitored database servers? If so, can someone point me to some documentation? I think I'm getting confused with the semantics in the various documents. I do realize that I need to deploy agents to the monitored database servers. Much appreciated.

When you plan to install a Grid Control, then you do not have to configure DB control on the targets.
For Grid, you do have to install a Grid Agent on each target server which needs to be monitored.
Go through the above link which talks about the Concepts of Grid.

  • Alert Log File Monitoring of 8i and 9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g

    Is it possible to monitor alert log errors in Oracle 8i/9i Databases with EM Grid Control 10g and EM 10g agents? If yes, is it possible to get some kind of notification?
    I know that in 10g Database, it is possible to use server generated alerts, but what about 8i/9i?
    Regards,
    Martin

    Hello
    i am interested in a very special feature: is it possible to get notified if alerts occur in alert logs in an 8i/9i database when using Grid control and the 10g agent on the 8i/9i systems?
    Moreover, the 10g agent should be able to get Performance Data using the v$ views or direct sga access without using statspack, right?
    Do you know where I can find documentation about the supported features when using Grid Control with 8i/9i databases?

  • Backing up database and archivelogs with grid control.

    So I was scheduling a job to backup the entire database and archive logs to an ASM diskgroup.  Well for some reason.... the backup of both the datafiles and archivelog files keep going to my $ORACLE_HOME/db/dbs directory.  I have no clue as I've dropped the job and recreated it and made sure it was going to <diskgroup>. Anyone have any idea what might be happening? I'm using 10.2.0.4 for the database and ASM. My Grid control is also 10.2.0.4.
    Thanks in advance
    Luke

    Grid Control:
    Disk Backup Location: I've tried to leave it blank so that it will goto my flash recovery area(Which is on ASM) and I even tried to explicitly state an ASM diskgroup, but both of those fail and start backing up to /dbs directory

  • Grid Control and Standby Database

    I have a (single node) physical standby server for a two node RAC Primary.
    I can view the standby server in OEM ( java tool).
    How do I add the standby db in my Grid Control ( 10.2.0.4.0 )
    regards,Lily

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes I have grid agent running on the standby node. I have also installed 'yast rpms' and the grid control is able to see the host under the 'target' tab of grid control.
    While trying to discover the standby database, the automatic target discover fails.
    Then I did the 'manually add', and it complains 'failed to connect'.
    I believe, this is mainly because the STANDBY database is in 'MOUNT' state and I am using 'dbsnmp' to connect ot the grid control ( my grid control is configured to register new database as 'dbsnmp').

  • Database componentes required/excluded for RMAN and Grid control repository

    I'm planning creation of a centralized 10gR2 RMAN repository for my production/dev environment, and needed a basic, barebones database. We may also use that same database as a repository for 10g OEM Grid Control in the future, so I wanted to ensure I was prepared for that.
    None of the documentation says anything about particular required components for RMAN, only that a database is needed. So am I allowed to deselect all items from the following DBCA list? I didn't expect any problems with the optional components, but wanted to make sure that RMAN or Grid control would function, were I to disable Oracle JVM or XML DB. My standard loadout (for better or worse) is to include everything in my production/dev databases, and I didn't want that to be the case with this one.
    Database Components:
    Oracle Data Mining
    Oracle Text
    Oracle OLAP
    Oracle Spatial
    Enterprise Manager Repository
    Standard Database Components:
    Oracle JVM
    Oracle XML DB
    Oracle Intermedia

    Thanks. For that matter, do DBA's in the general population install those standard oracle components? I have them there in my default installs just because of the message 'Oracle recommends you have these installed.' in the DBCA screen.

  • OEM Database Control and 10g Grid Control

    Can any one tell the difference between OEM Database Control and OEM 10g Grid Control.

    Database Control is the HTTP Management environment and comes installed with the 10g Database. It can be used to manage one database (one target) at a time (standalone). To monitor more than one database, you must create a new console on a different port for each database.
    10g Grid Control is the Enterprise version in that you can monitor different Target from different operationg systems at the same time. These include Application Servers, Listeners, Operation Systems, Non Oracle Database Systems using plugins (from 10gR2).
    So, for someone who was using OEM 9i, there was connection in to Standalone Console (Java) and Oracle Management Server (Java and HTML). In 10g, they are replaced with Database Control (Java and HTML versions) and Grid Control respectively.

  • Database Grid Control 10g and Oracle 8i v.3....

    Hi ,
    Is it possible for Database Grid Control 10g to administer and monitor the Oracle 8i v.3, namely Oracle 8.1.7. database ...?????
    Many thanks ,
    Simon

    Yes, that is possible. We are using OMS 10.2.0.2, Agents 10.2.0.2 to monitor 8.1.7.4 Databases.
    Also check MetaLink Notes:

  • 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.
    KL

    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.

  • Grid Control 12c and high availability databases

    Hello,
    In the context of high availability databses, my configuration is as follow:
    2 AIX servers on 2 sites with shared storage -> Site1 and site2.
    During normal operations databases are on site1. In case of disaster, databases can fallover on site2.
    On my Grid Control, 2 agents are installed: One for AIX on site1 and one for AIX on site2.
    Databases have been discovered on AIX:site1
    Listener is a virtual address and can also fallover.
    What are the possibility on the grid side ?
    Do I have to discover also the databases on site2 ?
    Actually, Listener is seen down on the site who has not the databases.
    Is there a way to only configure the Listener virtual address on the Grid ?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Basically you have to relocate the targets to the new agent (the one installed on site2). I haven't done that, but I expect to work fairly easy and smooth. Refer to the following section of Cloud Control 12c manual:
    Configuring Targets for Failover in Active/Passive Environments

  • Differences between EM Database Control and Grid Control/Cloud Control

    Hi everybody,
    just a short question: To show my colleagues and my boss, which one is the better one I would like to have a view about what the differences between Database Control and Cloud Control Versions of EM are and which functions would like the monitoring work more comfortable for us DBA's. Does anybody know a link or document for that?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    David

    Is this the own advantage of between Cloud Control and DB Control, that Cloud Control can monitor more than one instance?Someone that are using Grid control will tell you that it is a great avantage.
    We've just one database instance. But I've read about SNMP functions, that are only supported in Cloud Control. Are there more advantages?if you only have one database instance, Enterprise Manager is your best way at this moment.
    At some time, for example when 12g arrives, will Cloud Control be the standard installation?for the moment...nobody knows what is coming with 12c database...

  • EM Grid Control 10.2.0.2 and Connecting to 11g Database?

    I am having a problem trying to the EM 10.2.0.2 connect to an 11.1.0.6 database. I can connect to the database without the EM, but with EM, I get teh following error:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (description=(address=(host=JAX0104616-1.FNFIS.COM)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=ORCL11G)(server=dedicated)))
    I can connect to a 10g database (which holds the EM repository), but not the 11g database. Does anyone have any ideas? Is 11g not supported yet with EM 10g Grid Control?
    Thanks,
