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?

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.

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

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?

How to install grid control agent

Hi All,
I have a two node rac cluster 11gr2 named rac1,rac2.And I have also installed OEM 11g on RHEL 5 on node3 i.e rac3.
Now i want to install agents on all of the rac nodes.And i have a oracle 10g agent.
Can anybody let me know how to install the agent and will there be any compatibility issues be there or not?

you can start with

Reinstall grid control agent, db agent, weblogic agent

Hi,
I installed oem 11g in testing environment. However, I reinstall the oms due to wrong operation. For agent side, I installed grid control agent, db agent, weblogic agent. Any official document can follow to re-install the agent...or I just re-install it by using "fresh installation". Many thx!
Gil

if you want just to reinstall the agent you could delete the $AGENT_HOME directory and cleanup the file "inventory.xml" ($ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/ContentsXML).
But you could use the GUI of the installer as well and delete the agent the "official" way...
If want to reinstall the OMS, GC repository and/or the WLS as well I would suggest that you take a look into the documentation
under http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11857_01/index.htm

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?

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

RHEL4U4 EM64T Grid Control agent install issue

I've installed a 2 node Oracle 10G R2 RAC on RHEL4 U4 EM64T and it is working fine on Dell PE2850 servers. But I couldn't get the grid control agent installed on these RHEL4U4 EM64T PE2850 servers. The OMS server is running 32 bit Oracle 10g R2 on RHEL4. The issue is with the OMA (agent) install on EM64T and I've tried several different options (local install and push from the OMS server). I end up with the following error. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
Raj

This is error we got from both the install on the local node and tried a push from the OMS server as well.

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.

Where to install grid control in RAC

We havea three node RAC of 11.2. Our server boxes are redhat linux 2.5, each has 30 gb memory. Now want to install grid control, and we have the following questions
1) How much impact is on the RAC if install the OMS on one of the nodes?
2) How much impact is on the RAC if install the Management Repository on one of the RAC databases?
3) Is is necesasry to instal an agent on each of the RAC node?
Thanks.

One direction I see happening with Oracle product-related directories is
ORACLE_BASE - top for all Oracle related directories
ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory - master inventory
ORACLE_BASE/grid - top for the three homes mentioned
ORACLE_BASE/crs - top for Clusterware ... must be owned by root
ORACLE_BASE/product - all other Oracle product software
ORACLE_BASE/oradata - all databases mount points using OFA
ORACLE_BASE/admin - all database admin info
ORACLE_BASE/logs - redirect for all logs
This might be useful.

Installing Grid Control on uncertified CentOS system

I'm trying to install Grid Control 10g on a CentOS machine. I realize that centos is not supported, but isn't there a way to get around the dependency checks?
I already tried the hack of adding "redhat-5" to the [Certified Versions] section of the oraparam.ini file (as outlined here: Re: Oracle 10g won't isntall on Enterprise Lunix OS ) and that gets me past the initial check, but eventually the install fails with the following:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile=/u01/app/oracle/software/grid/em_with_new_db.rsp -waitforcompletion -paramFile /u01/app/oracle/software/grid/oraparam.ini
Performing check for CertifiedVersions
Checking operating system requirements ...
Expected result: One of redhat-3,redhat-4,SuSE-8,SuSE-9
Actual Result: redhat-CentOS release 5 (Final)
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Check complete: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle EnterPrise Manager 10gR2 is not certified on the current operating system.
Recommendation: Make sure you are installing the software on the correct platform.Isn't there a way to trick the install into proceeding?

Did you ever get Oracle Grid Control installed on your CentOS machine? I am trying to install using the -ignoreSysPrereqs flag, but run into issues during the OMS and AGENT configurations.

Configuration of grid control agent 11g

Hello guys,
I have problem with configuration of Grid control agent 11g. Root cause of the problem is that target machine is in DMZ Zone. So there is lack of ports enabled. Other agents I've been installed works properlly.
The one I am talking is able to upload data, but in case of configration I get error message: "Error occurred while getting information for the specified target. Possible reasons include: the target doesn't exist; connection to the target failed."

Configuring the Firewall to Allow Incoming Communication From the Management Service
While the Management Agents in your environment must upload data from your managed hosts to the Management Service, the Management Service must also communicate with the Management Agents. As a result, if the Management Agent is protected by a firewall, the Management Service must be able to contact the Management Agent through the firewall on the Management Agent port.
By default, the Enterprise Manager installation procedure assigns port 1830 to the Management Agent. However, if that port is occupied, the installation may assign an alternate port number.
After you determine the port number assigned to the Management Agent, you must then configure the firewall to allow incoming HTTP or HTTPS traffic (depending upon whether or not you have enabled Enterprise Manager Framework Security) on that port.
As I said already port 1830 was enabled. I did it because I saw that agent status - attached also here.
In case anybody know please tell me who to determine the port assigned to the Mangement Agent...

Trouble with 10g after Installing Grid Control

Main problem: after installing Grid Control and rebooting, I can no longer access my databases.
I have 10g installed on a fairly decent Windows XP machine. It was running okay, but I had two Oracle database instance processes running at 200mb of RAM each (of a total of 1 GB of RAM), so it was a bit bogged down, as is to be expected when running Oracle as a server on Windows.
I then installed Grid Control, which seemed to go okay, and another database as well. But once the install completed, and I gained access to the Grid Control version of the OEM for the first time, that's when things got wacky. Connecting to any OEM instance started taking anywhere from 2-10 minutes, everything was bogged down considerably, etc. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting, but now things are worse. OEM is timing out and not finding servers, listener is timing out, etc. I've tried manipulating a few things in Net Manager (I noticed that my LISTENER section didn't seem to contain any data at all, and my databases weren't listed in there either) with no result.
I've also had trouble with "host credentials" and being able to administer the databases within the OEM, even after implementing a fix I had found to add my user name to a "log on as batch job" local security policy.
Finally, I noticed that after installing Grid Control, when I run "sqlplus", I now see "Oracle91 Enterprise Edition" instead of the "Oracle10g" it used to show (and I never had anything but 10g installed on this machine!).
Here's what happens when I try to access my dBs:
-When I try to launch the OEM connected to any of the 3 databases I created (which were previsouly running), the browser just times out with "page cannot be displayed".
-When I run "emctl start <ANYTHING>" I get file/path not found errors, and a file path with both forward and backward slashes (starting after the "agent" directory):
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent/<...etc.>
-When I try to test a connection to a service in Net Manager, I get this error:
ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
I had to manually add my listener info and databases info(under Service Naming) in Net Manager, but everything appeared fine in Oracle Directory Manager (unfortunately, that doesn't help much, since this is just a general info tool).
I am nothing near a DBA and my knowledge is limited, so I apologize for not being more consise, but I'd be glad to elaborate if someone could tell me what they need to know.
Thank you,
John

Yes; thank you both. Although I had 1 GB physical and 1.5 GB virtual memory configured, running Grid Control seemed to completely kill all available resources.
I have removed GC and its related database and applications, and I can again conncet to my databases via Database Control. Thank you.
By the way, another issue has arisen, seemingly in the aftermath of installing GC: my OEM Database Control instances now time out after about 60 seconds, logging me out each and every time. I have cookies enabled, but this doesn't seem to be the trouble. Is there a Web setting somewhere that will kick users out of the instance at timed intervals?
