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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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
