Grid control cannot discover a database

I have an agent configured on a windows server with GC on linux.
GC knows about the agent and can see the host. However, when I try and discover the database I keep getting connection time outs. The agent on the windows server is running and uploading files.
I can ping the windows box from GC and visa versa
I can ping the host names too.
Can anyone help out.
regards
Alan

Have you tried manually adding it or is that what you mean by 'discovering'?
also from the grid server, can you run up bog standard sqlplus and add the relevant to the relevant tnsnames.ora and just try connecting via sqlplus or use tnsping just to make sure that bit is ok.

Installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database

I want to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control 10.2.0.3 using an existing database. This database is RAC 10.2.0.2. and I use it as Infrastructure Metadata Repository.
I is said in Oracle documentation that SYSMAN schema has to be dropped, thus Database console repository has to be dropped. As far as I understand after Grid Control installation I will not be able to use Database console for my RAC 10.2.0.2 Infrastructure Metadata Repository database. I will be able to use only Grid Control for this database.
Am I right? Could you give me any advice about Installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database?
Thank you.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a stand by database with the same tools as described above. My configuration is the same.
I've checked in my database and I already got the value 'Intel Pentium' described in the query. I tried the query anyway but, as I was expecting, it didn't solve anything for me.
If somebody could explain a bit on what actually generate this error and what OMS is looking for in MGMT_TARGET_PROPERTIES, it would be great.
If I find anything I'll update this post.

How to use OEM grid control to find any database not in archivelog mode?

Hello,
currently we have 130 databases, say, if I want to pick out any database currently NOT in archivelog mode, is there a quick way to find out ?
by using OEM grid control
or
some trick similar,
but really don't need to check each database manually.
thank you very much!

This query works in 12c - please run as SYSMAN.
It is based on undocumented assumptions though +( AND key_value = 'NOARCHIVELOG')+.
SELECT *
FROM SYSMAN.MGMT$GROUP_DERIVED_MEMBERSHIPS O ,
    SYSMAN.MGMT$TARGET T ,
    sysman.MGMT$AVAILABILITY_CURRENT st
WHERE
o.member_target_type     IN ('oracle_database', 'rac_database')
AND ( t.target_type           ='rac_database'
OR (t.target_type             ='oracle_database'
AND t.type_qualifier3        != 'RACINST'))
AND o. member_target_guid     = t.target_guid
AND t.target_guid             = st.target_guid
AND st.availability_status    = 'Target Up'
AND ( EXISTS
    (SELECT *
    FROM sysman.mgmt$metric_current i
    WHERE I.TARGET_GUID = O.MEMBER_TARGET_GUID
    AND metric_name     = 'archFull'
    AND Metric_Column   = 'archTotal'
    AND metric_label    = 'Archive Area'
    AND column_label    = 'Total Archive Area (KB)'
    AND key_value       = 'NOARCHIVELOG'
    ));Another way to achieve the goal is to push extended metrics (SELECT LOG_MODE FROM V$DATABASE) on each DB, and monitor the values they return to the repository. This is an example for a (slightly) different problem - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-the-new-oem-12c-metric-extensions-to-enforce-enterprise-wide-custom-policies .
OEM Repository has many other great uses as well - http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/oem-repository-a-second-look.doc , http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/iotzov_oem_repository.pdf

After selecting configure in the host text box just try and replace the IP address with the hostname of the node having the 10g database. Do update

OEM 10g grid control using an existing database

Hello all,
Has anyone been successful in installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid
Control (10.1.0.3) using and existing 10g (10.1.0.3) database?
10g grid control comes with 9.0.5.0 database for it repository. Since
this respository can not be update to 10.1.0.3, Oracle recommends using
and existing 10g database instead.
My installation goes 90% all the way before it fails. It fails at the
create repository point.
If any one has been successful, could you please share your success
with me.
Thanks,
Jake

Well, finally I did it! :)
The problem comes when you are trying to install OEM repository into existing 10g DB which used to be configured with a standalone Database Control. Dropping SYSMAN user is not enough!!! There are some leftovers which must be cleaned before running repository creation assistant:
drop user SYSMAN cascade;
drop user MGMT_VIEW cascade;
drop role MGMT_USER;
drop public synonym MGMT_TARGET_BLACKOUTS;
drop public synonym SETEMVIEWUSERCONTEXT;
That's all folks.

Can Grid Control on Windows monitor databases on UNIX?

If I install Grid Control on a Windows pc can I use it to monitor databases on UNIX?

There are two reasons I have to reboot the box.
1.You know, Windows always needs "update and reboot".
2.Sometimes I got the EM error message "Count of targets not uploading exceeded the critical threshold " from all hosts, but I am sure all hosts and agents were working normally.
After receiving errors, I found the grid control can't show the right chart on the performance tab.
Then I reboot the box and everything works fine again.

Removing incidents in grid control from backend repos database.

hi,
Like we remove alerts sometimes by deleting from mgmt_severity, is there any table which can help me remove some incidents which are not clearing in grid control 12C?
I really need it please.

What kinds of incidents are not clearing?
For stateless incidents (such as logfile based incidents) you will need to manually clear the incident. You can remove the underlying alert using emcli clear_stateless_alerts.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/em.121/e17786/cli_verb_ref.htm#CACGAEDI
The other alerts should be cleared by fixing the root cause after which the Incident should clear automatically.

Cannot discover the database created on the same machine OMS installed

Hi,
I have trouble discovering the database created on the same machine the management server installed. The intelligent agent is running and OEM has no trouble discovering the database on the other machine. It only has trouble discovering the database created on the machine OMS is installed. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot

Set the tracing on .. probably something wrong in either the oratab or listener.ora file. You need the listener.ora file even if the db is self registering. Check your nmiconf.log file in network/log

Whats the functional difference between dbconole and using the Grid control.

I know this may seem like a strange question, but I was wondering if I only have one instance on my server, would benefit would i gain if I installed and configured the grid control
over the dbconsole that comes with the 11gr2?
I know the Grid control can discover many databases, but what else can it do that the dbconsole cannot?
thanks!

Hi,
Indeed good question.
It depends on installation type you selected. But are responsible for user administration in terms of creating, deleting, updating and role assignment tasks to users and groups.
--CUA is meant for ABAP Installation. CUA is responsible for entire landscape user administration works with RFC connection talking to all ABAP systems
--UME is meant for Java installations, plus UME is responsible for handling communication between ABAP users and java users.
UME
For more details see below links all advantages and disadvantages of both systems and comparisons deliberately.

After adding a logical standby database through Grid Control for a RAC database, I noticed sometime later the Data Guard configuration disappeared from Grid Control. Not sure why but it is gone. I did notice that something went wrong with the standby creation but i did not get much feedback from Grid Control. The last thing I did was to view the configuration, see output below.

Here are the steps followed to add the standby database in Grid Control

Add standby database
Create a new logical standby database
Perform a live backup of the primary database
Specify backup directory for staging area
Specify standby database name and Oracle home location
Specify file location staging area on standby node
At the end am presented with a review of the selected options and then the standby database is created
Has any body come across a similar issue?
Thanks,

Any resolution on this?
I just created a Logical Standby database and I'm getting the same warning (WARNING: No credentials available for target ...) when I do a 'Verify Configuration' from the Data Guard page.
Everything else seems to be working fine. Logs are being applied, etc.
I can't figure out what credentials its looking for.

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?

Data Guard - Grid Control - Standby database

Heys,
now I have to RAC Clusters. The next step would be to setup a standby database to prepare a graceful switchover.
But what are the next steps ?
I am currently installing GridControl on a seperate host with the option: Enterprise Manager10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database
The installation is still running....
What are the steps ? Any documentation ? Any tutorials ?
Do I need to install agents on each client in the cluster ?
What about the name resolution ?
Any listener configuration necessary ?
Is the configuration done via data guard command line ?
Christian

Bear in mind that the standby creation wizard in Grid Control will only create a non-RAC standby. Once you get to Grid Control 10.2.0.5 and your databases are in 11g you will be able to use the Grid Control convert to RAC wizard on your standby. Prior to that you will have to convert the standby to RAC manually or follow the above mentioned paper and create the standby by hand and then import it into Grid Control.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control VS Grid Control

What is difference of Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control and Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control?
How I can install it manually?
Thanks

What is difference of Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control and Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control?
How I can install it manually?Dbcontrol is for single database as Grid control is for multiple databases.Dbcontrol has limited features than Grid control that goes beyond database administration to monitor other targets that include Operating system and application servers, web application, High availability (data guard) configurations. Database control comes with oracle server license but Grid control is a separate product it required separate license. If you want to use basic features then you can turn off the licensed packs in Grid control and use free product.
Install Grid Control as doc:http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10953/installing_em.htm
