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

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 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

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply!!!
    I have installed 11g grid infra on 2 nodes and then try to install 10g grid control on node 1 but when i am booting my system it got hanged and throw an error:
    sql>ora-01078: failure in processing system parameter

    then i have to forcefully bring down the system and started the linux in a single user mode and thereover i have to move or rename the dir to some other location,then only system get started.after starting up the system i have to again move or rename the grid control dir to org location.
    So my question is which file or dir is forcing system to startup the grid control on boot?

    Really the problem initially was because of this:
    [INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
    and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
    I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
    /home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
    authorized_keys
    known_hosts
    This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
    The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
    Thanks
