OEM 10g grid control using an existing database

Hello all,
Has anyone been successful in installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid
Control (10.1.0.3) using and existing 10g (10.1.0.3) database?
10g grid control comes with 9.0.5.0 database for it repository. Since
this respository can not be update to 10.1.0.3, Oracle recommends using
and existing 10g database instead.
My installation goes 90% all the way before it fails. It fails at the
create repository point.
If any one has been successful, could you please share your success
with me.
Thanks,
Jake

Well, finally I did it! :)
The problem comes when you are trying to install OEM repository into existing 10g DB which used to be configured with a standalone Database Control. Dropping SYSMAN user is not enough!!! There are some leftovers which must be cleaned before running repository creation assistant:
drop user SYSMAN cascade;
drop user MGMT_VIEW cascade;
drop role MGMT_USER;
drop public synonym MGMT_TARGET_BLACKOUTS;
drop public synonym SETEMVIEWUSERCONTEXT;
That's all folks.

Installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database

I want to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control 10.2.0.3 using an existing database. This database is RAC 10.2.0.2. and I use it as Infrastructure Metadata Repository.
I is said in Oracle documentation that SYSMAN schema has to be dropped, thus Database console repository has to be dropped. As far as I understand after Grid Control installation I will not be able to use Database console for my RAC 10.2.0.2 Infrastructure Metadata Repository database. I will be able to use only Grid Control for this database.
Am I right? Could you give me any advice about Installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database?
Thank you.

Install of OEM 10g Grid controll on windows break my listener

Hi!
I install OEM 10g Grid controll to Windows 2000 server, successfully (a new database to the repository also was created by the installer).
When I restart our server the service of the Listener did not started (it was set to automatic) and I did not able to start it.
First I see the "Listener.log" and the trace file.
The problem was that the listener intended to load adapter protokoll and refer to the "orantcp9.dll"!
Because before the install I create a 10.1.0.2 database the path of the file point to the "Db_1\bin" and here is "orantcp10.dll" exists.
The "orantcp9.dll" is exists in "em_1\bin".
What and how can I fix?
An additional question : during my secont installation I select to create the repository into an existing database, but the installer refuse it because my DB version was 10.1.0.2 and not 10.1.0.3.
How can I create DB with 10.1.0.3 version on Windows?
I am in a deadlock :-)
Regards,
Imre

Try MetaLink Doc Id 284680.1
The issue was that the EM Grid Control created an ORACLE_HOME environment variable. All you have to do is delete the variable, move the Database Oracle Home entries in the path to the front, and reboot the server.

and Repository Home is 10.2.0.1
Installed the linux Grid control agent 10.2.0.3 in target database...installation was successfull....but Target database is not showing in the grid control ..what was the problem...

where to check the log files in target database host..do u mean that...
i installed agent on target database home in a seperate directory...
ORACLE_HOME is the Target Database Oracle Home
cd $ORACLE_HOME/agent10g/sysman/log/
is it the correct directory to check the log files..i am new to this grid control...

How to setup DISK SPACE alert on OEM 10g Grid Control...

Gurus,
I am trying to setup DISK SPACE notification / alert thru OEM 10g Grid Control, but so far no luck.
Can someone help/guide me on how to achieve this?
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Kartik

Those two links don't say anything about "DISK SPACE ALERT" I already know how to setup notification. I suppose you are talking about Filesystem Space Available (%)
If you need to setup an alert (Notification) then i suppose you need to setup an notification rule.
Yes, these notes do not have the key word "DISK SPACE ALERT" you are looking for, but if you go through the first note CLEARLY and COMPLETELY, you should find your answer.
And he has given an example for Filesystem space available in this note, which is what you are looking for.(I think so)
Say for Disk Space, you create a notification rule for target hosts and have metric "Filesystem Space Available (%)" defined in that rule.
If you aren't talking about notifications and just want to setup an filesystem space available metic, then follow this note:

Installing OEM Grid Control on Solaris Sparc using an existing database

On Windows, this type of installation in the same version work fine!

Have you installed the Management Agent for the target database?

OEM Database Control and 10g Grid Control

Can any one tell the difference between OEM Database Control and OEM 10g Grid Control.

Database Control is the HTTP Management environment and comes installed with the 10g Database. It can be used to manage one database (one target) at a time (standalone). To monitor more than one database, you must create a new console on a different port for each database.
10g Grid Control is the Enterprise version in that you can monitor different Target from different operationg systems at the same time. These include Application Servers, Listeners, Operation Systems, Non Oracle Database Systems using plugins (from 10gR2).
So, for someone who was using OEM 9i, there was connection in to Standalone Console (Java) and Oracle Management Server (Java and HTML). In 10g, they are replaced with Database Control (Java and HTML versions) and Grid Control respectively.

Is it Possible to Upgrade Perl Compiler in 10g grid control?

Hi All,
My Concern is about that can we upgrade perl compiler which would be integrated along with enterprise manager package. Since 10g grid control uses perl compiler old version 5.10.0.1 in that we dont have Perl package manager(PPM) to implement packages in perl repository for windows system. do let me know is there any alternate way to implement perl packages into OEM.
Any suggestions in this will be of great help.
Thanks in Advance,
Ragunath N.

If your trying to upgrade just apache in that oracle home, then no. If your trying to upgrade to a real apache version, from apache.org, mod_oc4j won't work. You need to use Oracle's version of Apache or HTTP Server.
Is there a reason you only want to upgrade Apache and not the whole oracle home?
There are ways to do it, but it wouldn't be supported by Oracle and I wouldn't recommend that either.

Creating a new Oracle Database using 10G Grid Control

Hi
Is it possible to create a new database using the 10g Grid COntrol.

The way to create a database with EM, is by using Provisioning procedures. For instance with the Oracle Clusterware / RAC Provisioning For UNIX, you can provisioning Clusterware, ASM + ASM instance creation and DB Software. Then by provisoning you would create a database. There are also procedures to extend a cluster.
So, provisoning is the way to go!

Error - when creating a standby database with EM 10g Grid Control

Hi,
I am experiencing some problems when I want to create through the EM 10g Grid Control a standby database from a allready existing db. At step 2 when the files should be generated and copied to the other system, I am always getting the error that there isn't enough disk space on the other system. This can't be because there is at least 30GB free and the installer is asking for less than 1GB. I was searching the whole internet for a solution to this issue, but there was just nothing that could help me out with that point...
Has someone an idea at this point? Thanks for helping...
I am working on a Windows 2003 Server - Enterprise Edition for every system (Grid Control, Primary DB and Standby DB).
Best regards,
Patrick.

Check that filesystem space using GC under targets>hosts on which you are trying to create standby. Do you have any specific error message from GC ? If GC shows proper size under host filesystem section then there shuld be no such problem. Double chk ur locations too.
