Grid Control and Segment Advisor

I ran the segment advisor (within Grid Control) against a 10.1.0.4 target (picked a few tablespaces) and it ended up generating a 7 gigabyte tracefile in bdump of that target database. I did not turn on any kind of tracing. Is this expected behavior?!?
The header of the trace file, if you're curious...

Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control and ReNew the IP Address

Hello
I have installed Grid Control and added few hosts and was working fine. But I have changed the IP address of Grid Server host. I mean I have been given new IP address for Grid Control host.
I have changes the ip address in /etc/hosts and reboot the server. But Grid Control Console page is not coming up on IE. Help Please...
Regards
Sindhi

It has been sorted out. As Grid Control use FQDN and it do not use IP address. Just I changes the IP address and FQDN was same. I was forgot to change IP address from Terminal Server where I was accessing Grid Control Console using IE. Thanks for you both to response my query.

Install Grid Control and use repository within a DataGuard configuration

Hello,
I need some information if anyone has experience in the following
We have severel database running in DataGuard standby configuration.
I want to install OMS 11.1 and use the repository in a primary and standby configuration.
My configuration will look like this:
host 1     Primary Repository database
     OMS service 1
host 2     Standby Repository database
     OMS service 2
During normal operation i want to have 2 OMS services running.
Whenever a failover is necessary, i want to active my standby database and run OMS service 2.
Can this be a working configuration?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ben

Hi.
As far as I know, the dbconsole installed with the Oracle database applies for only one database on one server. The information accessed by the dbconsole relies within the sysman schema inside the actual database. For a database environment with 10 databases, it is possible to install grid control and manage all these databases despite version and OS. And I think that grid is a good solution to such an environment.
The grid installation itself is a application server installation, and I suggest if possible that you separate the rdbms server and the server that contains the grid control.
The repository database the grid control uses can either be installed in the 10g environment or in the grid control environment (server). You can place the repository in a new database in a separate ORACLE_HOME from the actual grid control application server.
Good luck.

Installing Grid Control and not using ASM

Is it possible to install Grid Control and not be using ASM? We are on the brink of beginning our install (Peoplesoft) and may not use ASM. It seems to me from documentation that I'm reviewing that installing GC assumes you will be using ASM.
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
the Grid Control Repository database does not require ASM. It works perfectly fine with datafiles on a normal filesystem.
Best regards,
Robert

Grid Control and CEP

Hi,
We are building for one of our clients a solution that is comprized from several products. One of them is CEP. For all theother products we can use Grid Control to "watch" the status and "health" of the products but we could not find any reference to CEP.
We know that we can get the statistics on the EPNs using Visualizer or JMX but we prefer to have it all in one place. Is it possible to use Grid Control?
Is there any information regarding Grid Control and CEP?
Thanks,
Shimon

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

GRID Control and management hostname

With a HA deployment you have to set :
emd.properties:#AgentListenOnAllNICs=FALSE
This is ok for me but the servers have 3 differents IP adresses (3 differents hostname), one is foucuss for management tasks and this is not the name registered by the Agent.
Do you know if it is possible to run host scripts (external jobs) with Grid Control and to specify the hostname where these jobs have to run by default the jobs will run on the hostname registered by the Agent.

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

When to install Grid Control and when to just use 10g built in?

1. is Grid Control really the only way to Enterprise Manage multiple databases? (if not, how do i switch from different databases on the 10g built in EM)
2. I only have about 10 databases, is Grid Control overboard?
3. Is it a bad or good idea to install GC on the 10g server?
thanks,

Installing Grid Control and managing DBs on desktop

I want to install Grid Control, and manage DB on my own testing environment on desktops...I tried one time to install Grid Control on my desktop i become very slow. Now i am thinking to buy new Desktop dedicated for Grid Control only and see how it goes...any suggestions?
2nd how i can access my DB on the other desktop? Like i should install agents on that...and how to configure....

When teaching this class I typically have 6 pairs of students sharing a single P4 3Ghz with 4Gb of RAM gridserver. (combined 10.1.0.4 emrep with single OMS on RH 3 AS)
THis is more than enough for the 150 or so targets that we configure during class
The agents are deployed in any of several methods.(the install DVD is probabally the easiest for 1's and 2's) If you are monitoring a db expect to use about 150Mb of RAM for the agent. After setting up the agent ensure that your computer has local security policy configured so that "Login as Batch" is enabled for the user account that will be used for authentication to the desktop. (this also means that you need to have a windows password configured for that account as well).
The database configuration is semi-automatic once you have the agent installed on the desktop (it's called discovery)

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?

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').

Grid Control and Data Guard Setup

Hi,
I have 4 PCs on which I wish to test the following:
1. OEM Grid Control 10.2 - Console + Service + Agent
2. Data Guard feature with Broker
3. Standby Setup for a Primary Database.
I will create the Primary DB on one Linux PC.
Standby DB using Grid Control & DataGuard on second Linux PC.
The Third PC is also Linux but the fourth PC is Windows XP.
Please guide me in understanding the following:
1. On which PCs should I install OEM Grid Control 10.2 - Console + Service + Agent?
2. On which PC should I setup DB Broker?
Please assume that I will use Oracle 10.2 Softwares and Linux x86 version.
Regards

well why don't you go ahead and test?!
Test and see whether you want to put oms, console all one machine, or whether you want to separate out the componests (you'll need an agent on each box regardless). I have no idea what the specs of your machines are, so why don't read the documentation on Grid and dataguard, see what the recommended settings are and then plan what you want to do.

Grid Control and Ora-12557 error

Hello, I'm trying to install the Oracle DataGuard in my work. I have two server with these features:
2 Processors Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz
4 GB Ram
6 SATA hdd 250GB (Raid 5)
for each server. Actually, only one server have the database production, and the another server I have for testing purpose. I must be have a high availability system. I want to build an Oracle RAC system, but I think that I need an external storage (something like SAN, or fibre channel or iSCSI). Well, I assumed that I don't create a Oracle RAC because I do not have the hardware requirements. Then, I thougth use Oracle DataGuard. For that, I have one server in one building and another server in another building like a standby database. If a server fail, then I use the another.
I decided to create Oracle DataGuard configuration. I installed windows 2003 server standard edition in my server for test purpose, and then I installed the Oracle Database 10 g with my database. After I installed the Oracle Grid Control with a new database for repository. Well, when the installation of Oracle Grid Control was completed, I didn´t connect to my database because sqlplus show me an error (Ora-12557). Before I install the Oracle Grid Control I can connect perfectly with my database, but after that I can not connect any time.
Anyone can help me, please????

After formatting (clean server)
1. Install grid control Repository and Management Server
2. Patch it to the latest version (10.2.0.3)
3. Install agent on your other server ,see that you should be able to communicate, check for propert username/password settings.
4. Install your first database , lets say you install it on the same machine with grid
Check for ports/etc and see its in a working order
5. From Grid control ,create your standby on another machine , grid required no interfearance from user once some pre-requisits (you should be able to ping/ftp) on the host.
there are number of possibilites for meeting your requirements, keep refering installation guide where possible.

ITANIUM Grid Control and Oracle 10.2.0.3 update

QA and PROD databases were installed as 10.2.0.1 on Itanium servers.
QA was taken to 10.2.0.3 two weeks ago.
Grid Control AGENT was applied to QA early last week.
QA database continues to perform
PROD was not taken to 10.2.0.3
Grid Control AGENT was applied to PROD early last week.
PROD continued to perform.
THIS MORNING applying 10.2.0.3 upgrade to PROD: Installation set passed Deinstall and Install then at LINKING returned "Error in invoking target 'client_sharedlib" of makefile '/oracle/CDWP/orahome/nedtwork/lib/ins_net_client.mk" See '/home...log'. Examining the log led to libclntsh.so.10.1 WITH ZERO FILESIZE LENGTH. Further testing had repeated results.
THIS THREAD WILL BE PLACED IN ENTERPRISE MANAGER AND METALINK.
It appears the ITANIUM GRID CONTROL release was not well QC'd. I am FORCED to recover the PROD database from backup.
ANYONE with any insight on how to install 10.2.0.3 AFTER Grid Control please respond.

Installing Grid Control and its agents in RAC

Hi
I have a RAC of 2 nodes in 10.2.0.5 . I need to install Grid Control in another server to manage the RAC.
I have several questions....
The agent and grid control to be install has to be in 10.2.0.5 as well ? or must be higher...
I have to install the agent in all nodes of the RAC ? and after the grid control in another server ?
Thanks

WAIT...
I was thinking same that Grid Installer will create the databasse or you can use the one if exists..
but when I was reading a similar thread.. The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server ?
someone mentioned that Grid Installer will not create repository database.
It is better if you refer the document before make any further comments.
