Management agents for 10g OEM Grid setup with HP's MC/Serviceguard

I am trying to set up the OEM Management agents in a MCserviceguard environment.
Each db is a serviceguard "package" with its own disks and a floating IP. The floating
IP is constant, but is dynamicly associated with whichever server currently hosts the package.
The goal is to have a Management agent (formerly Intelligent agent) per db.
There are notes and tech forums on how this is achieved in version 9.2 with
Intelligent Agent. However, not having any luck in finding this for 10g.
In 9.2, a forum note

Has anyone setup the 10g Management agents to run on an MC Service Guard environment
(or similar cluster environment on another platform)? If you have please let me know!!

Here is a nice document that should answer your question
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/MAA_WP_10gEMAgentActivePassive.pdf
I did not bother installing three agents. I just installed one at the package level. My hosts are monitored by HP Openview. OEM just monitors the databases.
I have not used the command line parameter in runInstaller to set the hostname. Here is how I did it - may not be supported though. I have learnt the hard way that with HPUX you are on your own for most part with OEM. I modify Disk1/install/oraparam.ini. Change SHOW_HOSTNAME=NEVER_SHOW to SHOW_HOSTNAME=ALWAYS_SHOW. Installer will prompt you for hostname and the network card to use. Choose the one to which the service guard ip is attached to and change the hostname.
Take a look at my previous post regarding installing management service I have the tweaking described in more detail. The tweak is same for both management agent and management service install.

Hi Jarred,
A way to create a "need recovery" situation.
1. Take the tablespace offline.
2. Copy the datafile (or one of the df's) to *.old.
3. Put the TS online again. And for the fun create a table and insert some rows in it.
4. Take the TS offline.
5. Copy the *.old datafile to what it was
6. Put the TS online again and bingo.
I think the existing alert log check will raise an alert.

Enterprise manager console for 10g.

How do I get enterprise manager console for 10g? I installed 10g on my machine awhile ago and just noticed that enterprise manager console was not installed with it. When I installed Oracle 9 a while back, the console was installed automatically.

DB Control Repository is needed to run EM. To create it you can use emca or dbca command.

Introscope Host Agent for ABAP only instance, fails with java.lang.NullPoin

Hello,
I'm trying to configure the Introscope Host Agent Adapter for ABAP 7.02 instance.
Solman Version is 7.1 ST 4, BASIS SP9.

Hi
I am sure, it is logically incorrect, how you deploy byte code agent in abap only instance
Introscope Bytecode Agent runs on managed systems based on J2EE engines to report data to the Introscope Enterprise Manager, so it has to be setup only for Java Stacks.
Please check with the wily config guide again.
I am watching this thread for further view from others.
Thanks,

Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Manager Plugin Installation on oem grid control 12c facing error

Hi,
I just came across the same problem.
In my case, I hit this issue while trying to reinstall Oracle EMCC 12g.
Since previous installation failed, I decided to start from the beginning again but I am now hitting this.
Before trying to reinstal, I dropped SYSMAN and a few other users created on the provided DB.
Did you solve this issue?
I believe I may have not "clean up" the database properly. Which would be the right way of wiping out the DB without actually rebuild it again?
Thanks

Upgrading Management Agents after upgrading the Grid Control to 10.2..0.5

Hello:
I am pretty new to implementing Grid control. I have been assigned the task of upgrading the Grid control to 10.2.0.5. I successfully upgraded the GC to 10.2.0.5. Now the next task is to upgrade the Agents running on other Database nodes. I have 6 databases running on Solaris 9.0 , few of them running on RHEL 5.0 x86, a few of them on RHEL 5.0 86*64. I am looking to upgrade these agents in one shot. Is there any way I can accomplish this from Grid control. If it is the case, then do I have to download and upload the patchsets for 10.2.0.5 for various platforms into the Grid Control.
I would be very happy if you could give me valid pointers which would help me to understand and move further.
Regards,
Bala

Yes you can upgrade the agent at one shot.Refer the following OBE

note that i am doing the installation as oracle owner only... also /tmp has enough free space (600MB)...also TMPDIR set to point to a location that has about few GB's free.
please reply soon.

I've managed to get past this error thanks to the forums over on the Oracle Metalink site. Apparently, you need two environmental variables set: TMP and TMP_DIR. What is happening is that the installer is writing temporarty files to the directory pointed to by $TMP. If it is not set, it writes the temporary files to the root directory, which in most systems, is read-only to the oracle user. You can either set the TMP and TMP_DIR environmental variables to a valid directory, or give write permissions to the root directory.

OEM Grid Control with vmware

We've just purchased OEM. We plan 2 installs - one on a development server to monitor development dbs, the other a production server to monitor production dbs. Our technical group wants me to install it on one Windows 2003 Server using vmware giving me 2 virtual servers. This way they only have to purchase 1 physical server yet I get the 2 installs I want. Oracle support said they wouldn't support this type of install.
Has anyone done this?

Yes, I have exactly the same setting. Works like a charm, but it does need some hefty resources. As this is only a test setting on my laptop I do not expect much support.
Maybe you should not mention that you run this on vmware when you have a support question ;-)

Database componentes required/excluded for RMAN and Grid control repository

I'm planning creation of a centralized 10gR2 RMAN repository for my production/dev environment, and needed a basic, barebones database. We may also use that same database as a repository for 10g OEM Grid Control in the future, so I wanted to ensure I was prepared for that.
None of the documentation says anything about particular required components for RMAN, only that a database is needed. So am I allowed to deselect all items from the following DBCA list? I didn't expect any problems with the optional components, but wanted to make sure that RMAN or Grid control would function, were I to disable Oracle JVM or XML DB. My standard loadout (for better or worse) is to include everything in my production/dev databases, and I didn't want that to be the case with this one.
Database Components:
Oracle Data Mining
Oracle Text
Oracle OLAP
Oracle Spatial
Enterprise Manager Repository
Standard Database Components:
Oracle JVM
Oracle XML DB
Oracle Intermedia

Thanks. For that matter, do DBA's in the general population install those standard oracle components? I have them there in my default installs just because of the message 'Oracle recommends you have these installed.' in the DBCA screen.

What is a good strategy for keeping the OEM GRID up and running?

Hi,
What is a good strategy for keeping OEM GRID up and running? Currently, we have grid installed on one linux64bit box with 4 cpus and 8 gigs of RAM, oms 10204, repdb 10204, agent 10204. In addition to using this oem grid for notifications and performance monitring, we are also using this oem grid for scheduling over 700 jobs running over 30 targets.
What is a good strategy to have to backup the grid so that when this box goes down, we can restore and then recover the grid? Please lead to white papers or documentations. Thank you.

Take a look at Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, a set of architectural recommendation on setting Oracle software up for high availability.

Suggested concept for Grid Control with DataGuard solution

Hello,
I want a Disaster Recovery solution for OEM Grid Control with DataGuard but with only one OMS running. (11.1)
I have figured out the following.
Installation OEM Grid control om host A. Repository is created on Host A. Connection to database is done thru servicename DBGRDSRV on Host A
Installation OEM Grid control om host B. Repository is created on Host B. Connection to database is done thru servicename DBGRDSRV on Host B
I stop OMS on host B and I drop the database on Host B
Then....
I create a Dataguard configuration for DBGRDSRV, the prim database run on Host A en secondary on Host B
In case of a failure i switch the database. On host B i will have DBGRDSRV as the primary database
I start OMS on host B and the agent.
In case the failure is resolved i switch back eveything
Will thos concept work?
Do i get some troubles with the emkey, and if so, does anybody has a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated
Regards,
Jaap

OEM10gR3 PeopleSoft Management agent support for PeopleTools 8.49?

We migrated our PeopleSoft environment from PeopleTools 8.48 to PeopleSoft 8.49. We've successfuly installed OEM10gR3 on a Windows 2003 box and successfully installed the management agent on a RHEL 4.4 box running PeopleTools 8.49 and then installed the PeopleSoft Management Agent for OEM without error.
When we try to "discover" the PeopleTools installation via the OEM console it comes back and says it has found a PeopleSoft installation, however, it will not add it to the console because it states the PeopleTools / PeopleSoft 8.49 is not supported. It looks like the the OEM PeopleSoft Management agent is supports PeopleTools up to v8.48.
Is anybody aware of workaround / patch / solution to this issue?
Thanks, --Alok

Almost the same problem here. Our PT is at 8.48, running on AIX. OEM10gR3 agent installed. When we try to run the discovery we get no PS_HOMEs found. We opened a support case with Oracle but have not gotten an answer yet.
