Grid Control for a cross-platform migration

Is it possible to use Enterprise Manager Grid Control to execute a cross-platform migration? A co-worker suggested checking this out, but he wasn't sure if it would work or not.

Cross-Platform transportation is a complex process and done by RMAN utility. Don't rely on GridControl, better follow the roadmap in

Cross platform migrate repository and oms, gets "EM Key Verification Error"

Hello,
I am trying to cross platform migrate repository and oms from Sun Solaris Sparc 64 bit to Linux x86-64bit.
Environment:
Original repository Oracle 10.2.0.3, OMS 10.2.0.5, Sun Solaris Sparc 64 bit
New repositoy Oracle 10.2.0.3, OMS 10.2.0.5, Linux x86-64bit
Following metalink note:
Subject: How To Move Grid Control Oms & Repository To Another Server
Doc ID: 853293.1
to step 4:
4. Point the new OMS to the new repository
can't get over emkey corrupt issue, gets error:
2009-10-13 14:07:24,570 [AJPRequestHandler-ApplicationServerThread-11] ERROR conn.ConnectionService verifyRepositoryEx.918 - EM Key Verification Error = Em key does not match with repos verifier
2009-10-13 14:07:27,910 [Shutdown] ERROR em.notification unregisterOMS.2573 - Error unregistering: EM Key is Missing java.sql.SQLException: EM Key is Missing
The newly installed additional OMS can only point to the original repository and can't point to the newly migrated repository.
Steps I did:
Install an addition OMS to point to original repository (make sure emkey is in repository)
create a new empty database on new host with a new name (is new name caused problem?)
migrate old repository to new (use export/import)
point new OMS to new repository by modifing emoms.properties
startup oms and gets emkey corrupt error
This metalink note does not help either:
Subject: The Em Key is not configured properly. Run "emctl status emkey" for more details.
Doc ID: 817035.1
I also have a SR open but still have no help from Oracle support. I did make sure the emkey is in the repository before migrate. There may be tricks that I don't know.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi, I'm having the same issue.
Our original installation was on Windows 32bit with the repository and OMS on the same host. I want to move the repository to a linux 64bit host to make more resource available for everything. The new database is 11.1.0.7 though. As the Grid control release is 10.2.0.5 Oracle Support have confirmed that the 11g database is OK to use.
In the log I see a lot of this:
[AJPRequestHandler-ApplicationServerThread-5] ERROR conn.ConnectionService verifyRepositoryEx.911 - Invalid Connection Pool. ERROR = ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_USER", line 10296

2009-11-05 18:54:59,973 [Shutdown] ERROR em.notification unregisterOMS.2573 - Error unregistering: EM Key is Missing
java.sql.SQLException: EM Key is Missing
Unfortunately that package is wrapped so I can't see what privs are required.
The instructions say (simplified here) either datapump or exp/imp to the new database, run some admin scripts, then update the emoms.properties with the new connection information. Thats it - start OMS again and it should work.
Thankfully I can turn the old repository back on while I sift through these logs.

Cross platform migration from hp unix to sun

Hi
recently we have done cross platform migration from hp unix to sun (10g R2 RAC +ASM). It was a challenging experience to complete the migration in 8 hours downtime for a database of about 2 TB.
I would like to share the experience , so that it would be hepfull to others and i would learn more new techniques for improvement .
source environment:
HP-UX -ITANIUM - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle clusterware - ASM - Heavily loaded all the time .
Destination Env:
Sun solaris 10 - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM
Total Downtime available : 6 hours.
Steps followed
1. snapshot backup of source database on a intermediate HP-Unix box. (stage area)
2. recover the database and start the rman image backup on to disk in stage area.
3. mount this filesystem locally (Veritas ) on to one of the node in the destination env.
4. Mount this filesystem as NFS on second node using a cross cable between both of them (we can use interconnect VLAN also here)
5. Keep applying the archive logs from source env till the downtime .
5. startup nomount the database , change the datafile names from ASM to RMAN image copy files and mount.
6. start rman convert statements and pump into the already exisitng ASM nodes with parallel sessions as much as possible (with 35 sets (513 datafiles) we were able to pump 2 TB data in 4.5 Hrs) - only system and undo datafiles need a convert statements (platform migration ) others would need a file system to ASM conversion only.
7. alter database open resetlogs in the destination environment.
8. create services manually and start the application.
we were given very less time to decide upon this stategy , By gods grace we were able to complete it .
I got a doubt while we are chalking out this plan .
can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.
Let me know if you see any more improvements in this.
Thanks
Naveen samala

can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.No. Thats not possible.

Grid Control for windows

Hi Experts,
We're trying to download and install Oracle grid control for windows 64bit but we can't find any 64bit release!
Can we safely download and install Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control Release (11.1.0.1.0) - Windows 32bit from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/index.html ? or should we be installing a different version??
Should Grid control be installed on the DB server in the 1st place or should it be installed on another server?
Current Oracle Software: 11.2.0.1 64bit.
Server OS: Windows 2008 Server 64bit.
Can you kindly let us know.
Thanks

We finally got our facts right..
The Grid Control Enterprise Manager comes only in 32 bits.. However the Grid Control agent that needs to be installed on the DB server comes in 32/64bits and is supported under different OS platforms.
Metalink (Doc ID 412431.1) shows the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker/matrix that we found extremely useful.
Enterprise Manager Grid Control comes with the basic features and is free to use. Any extra features are considered addons and do need to be properly licensed.
Thanks

Cross platform migration question.

I have a customer that is currently runnning oracle 10g databases on solaris 64 bit operating system on sun m4000 and m5000 hardware. The customer is looking to move to the redhat 6 operating system.
I am wanting to know what method will be available for me to migrate the databases as the endian on the files are different? Will transportable tablespaces work with the different endian?
Thanks.

EBS Cross Platform Migration

Hi
I've EBS (11.5.10.2) running on RHEL 5 32 bit, and I want to migrate EBS to OEL 5 (64bit).
I dont whether it can be called Cross Platform Migration(because both are linux flavors)
Thanks

Oracle EBS 11i is not certified on 64-bit for the application tier node, so you can migrate the database tier node only to 64-bit.
And, yes this is called split configuration since the application will be running on 32-bit OS while the database will be running on 64-bit OS.

OEM 10g (10.2.0.1) Grid Control for Linux86 part 2

Hi hussein/helios,
Firstly....
How do you install management agent for linux86?
I have already installed OEM 10g Grid Control OMS on my linux sever which also has EBS R12.1.
Do I need to install a "management agent" on this server, to be able to manage my EBS R12.1?
Secondly....
I want to manage our EBS 11i which resides on another server (remote).
I downloaded the Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip file from OTN,
and put it to the target server.
I unzip it following the readme.txt to the
1. Download the Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip file from OTN.
2. Copy the downloaded file to <OMS_HOME>/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.2.0 directory.(create <OMS_HOME>/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.2.0 directory, if it doesn't exist.)
3. cd <OMS_HOME>/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.2.0
4. <OMS_HOME>/bin/unzip Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip
5. If agent_download.rsp doesn't exists at <OMS_HOME>/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.2.0 directory then:
    a. mv agent_download.rsp.bak agent_download.rsp
    b. edit agent_download.rsp and modify s_OMSHost="%s_hostname%" and s_OMSPort="%s_OMSPort%" with the correct OMSHost and OMSPort values.(However, even if you are specifying a secure Management Service, you must still enter the non-secure port number here)
        eg. s_OMSHost="stadv26.us.oracle.com"
            s_OMSPort="4889"
6. Edit <OMS_HOME>/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.2.0/linux/agentDownload.linux and modify OMShost=%s_OMSHost% and httpPort=%s_OMSPort% with the correct OMSHost and OMSPort.(However, even if you are specifying a secure Management Service, you must still enter the non-secure port number here)
   For eg. OMShost =stadv26.us.oracle.com
           httpPort=4889
7. Follow the agentDownload instructions from 5.4 section of Oracle Enterprise Manager Installation and Basic Configuration Guide.But when I got to #7 ....the documentation is not clear, as usual there are lots of injected unrelated topics which make the documentation "topsiturvy" and very hard to follow.
Can you just tell me, based on your experience how to install the agent? Someone told me to run OUI?
But I can not find it on the unzip >Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip file
Thanks a lot.
Ms K

hi dear,
I want to upgrade my OMS server 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5
I downloaded the patch 10.2.0.5 and read the README.txt
Part of the README is:
1.2 Enter the following command to extract the installation files:
$ unzip GridControl_10.2.0.5_<platform name>.zip
This command extracts the following files and directory:
|- p3731593_10205_<platform name>.zip
|- 3731596.zip
|- 3822442.zip
|- README.txt
|- doc/
NOTE: <platform name> will be "LINUX" or "Win32" depending on the platform for which you are installing. For installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 5 (10.2.0.5), refer to the Release Notes available in the "doc" directory.
- p3731593_10205_<platform name>.zip is the ZIP file that contains 10.2.0.5 patch set software.
This zip can be used for:
- Upgrading Oracle Management Service Release 2 (10.2.0.x) or higher to Oracle Management Service Release 5 (10.2.0.5)
- Upgrading Oracle Management Repository (sysman schema)
- Upgrading Oracle Management Agent on the host where OMS is running.
NOTE: This will not upgrade the database in which the Management Repository (sysman schema) resides.
- 3731596.zip is for patching Management Agent by staging the patch set. To understand how you can apply the Management Agent 10.2.0.5 patch set, refer to method 2 described in section 4.3.3 "Upgrading Management Agent - Multiple Hosts at a Time" of the Release Notes. The Release Notes can be found in the "doc" directory.
- 3822442.zip is for patching Management Agent by distributing the full patch set. To understand how to apply the Management Agent 10.2.0.5 patch set, refer to method 1 described in section 4.3.3 "Upgrading Management Agent - Multiple Hosts at a Time" of the Release Notes. The Release Notes can be found in the "doc" directory.3731596.zip - by staging
3822442.zip - by distributing
Does the two above have the same function or purpose?
I can not understand the meaning of the two :( . which do you think is the right one for my setup?
Thanks a lot

Cross Platform migration employing Incremental Transportable Tablespaces

We have a VLDB that needs to be converted from a Sparc T3 Solaris Big endian to Linux small endian and there are over 6000 tables and the GoldenGate method to reduce downtime was attempted n dev and was an utter failure. Then I read in several places including metalink ( My Oracle Support ) in DOC ID 1644693.1 Entitiled "How to restore a pre 12c database backup to a cross platform cross endian 12c database", Bug 13335722 and many Oracle 12c Brochures all state that the cross platform cross endian method of using Incremental Transportable Tablespaces which used to be only supported for Exadata is now supported for ALL 12c platforms. Can anyone veriffy this and has employed this technique to migrate from Sun to Linux by first upgrading the source database to 12c then employing Incremental Transportable Tablespaces capabilities of 12c to migrate cross platform cross endian from Sun Sparc big endian 64 bit word to Linux Intel little endian 64 word. Otherwise if we migrate from 11GR2 Sun to Intel we are looking at least 5 days of Read Only downtime.
Thanks

Using Grid Control for Bespoke Applications

Customer's primary application is in-house built. How can he integrate the Grid Control with it?

There is a link for the Extensibility Guide here:

It describes what it takes to create a Management Plug-in (new target type) which can be integrated into the EM Console.

How to configure EM Grid Control for more than one databases?

Hi,
I'm configuring EM on Oracle 10gRel1 on Linux. I have more than one databases in the server, and I want use IE at my PC to monitor the databases on Linux server. I can configure and access the Grid Control Console by emca for first database, but cannot configure for the second one, unless I remove the first one configurration. How can I configure EM for more than one databases?
Thanks.

Thank you everybody.
Yes, I'm talking about DBConsole rather than Grid Control (sorry for misuse the term). I managed to set up DB Console for every DB in the same Linux box (10Rel1). What I did is:
1) stop db console and agent with emctl
2) remove repository with RepManager
3) config with emca
Then I can monitor individual databases from my PC (but have to login with different port).
I'm thinking mybe I should use Grid Control instead.
