OEM Grid control 10g on Linux

Hello,
I have installed OEM grid control 10g and able to connect to the console via the sysman user id.
I am trying to configure email notification, but though I put all credentials properly I am not able to receive any emails.
I was looking at Oracle documentation and it says....
The SMTP server is the name of the mail server (for examplemail.acme.com).
For Linux, the SMTP server must be the local host name.Use the fully qualified host name (including domain
Does the smtp server need to on the localhost ? can't it work with a smtp server on a different host than the grid control box ?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
S.

The smtp service doesn't need to be on the host you installed grid control, Grid control can use any smtp server as long as it can reach it.
Regards
Gokhan

OEM Grid Control 10g Install

Hi,
I am new to OEM. I want to install OEM Grid Control in new linux maxhine. For this can i install any thing before go to OEM. Please help me out on this. Please expalin the install procedure.
Thanks in Advance,
Sridhar

Hey there :)
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "install an thing before", do you want to install other Oracle products, then OEM and point it to manage these installs?
As for the install procedure, a quick look at how its done is seen on the link below
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gem/install/gridinst/gridinst.htm
The Oracle By Example series can be quite a good base to start from when you are new to this area.

OEM Grid Control 10g Deployment

Hi,
We are planning to deploy OEM Grid Control 10g (with Diagnostics and Performance Management packs) for management and monitoring of following targets:
Oracle Databases (9.2.x, 10.x) - 12
Oracle Application Servers 10g - 6
OEM documentation states that for smaller deployments (targets < 100); following h/w specs would be sufficient:
CPU: 1 (3GHz)
Memory: 4 GB (2GB for OMS, 2GB for OMR)
Disk Storage: 12 GB (2GB for OMS, 10GB for OMR)
I want to know:
i) Will that amount of disk storage will be sufficient?
ii) What would be the growth rate of OMR (Oracle Management Repository)?
iii) What other factors should be considered?
All suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Preet

Hi Preet,
We had a 200+ (now 700+) target install in a major Telco and at that time
the repository database size was just 25 GB. So 10 GB for the database
itself should be ok. However sounds like you are crunched for space.
Bear in mind you need space for the installation of the EM10g OMS home,
the Agent Home and the Database home. So I dont think 12 GB is enough
for you. Try it out in test.

Porus.

OMS Configuration Failed In the Process of Installing OEM Grid Control 10g

Hi every one,
i am getting the same problem in the installation Configuration Assistants, OMS Configuration Failed
I have already installed the Oracle software, created the databse and when i started installation, i selected the 2nd option to use the existing database.
here is i am getting the error:
details says that are as follows
oui-25031 oracle.sysman.emcp.agent.agentplugin,
so i followed the steps and drop the sysman user with cacade option
again i got the same error,
Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3,
Oracle 10G 10.2.0.1.0 (Already Installed)
Dell Inspiron 530
Intel(R)Core(TM)2 Quad CPU [email protected], 3.0GB RAM
have enough hard disk.
Now installing Oralce Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10g release2 (10.2)
i have seen the error messages in this forum many are on unix environment.
any views on windows operating system?
Thank You.

hi,
before you install grid, try and patch the database to a later release, 10.2.0.4
had this issue in work and patching the db resolved the issue.
I did install database software only, then patch then create database, then install grid

Does OEM Grid Control 10g support monitoring Oracle Portal 10g?

Dear expert,
It seems OEM GC 10g could monitor WebCenter, Weblogic portal and even Websphere portal, but I could not find any info for Oracle Portal. So,
1. Does OEM GC support to monitor Oracle Portal 10g? If not, does it support Oracle Portal 11g?
2. If does not support Oracle Portal, then is there any workaround for it? E.g. if it’s feasible through “web appliation”?
Any comment and docs are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I have another question for your reply, that what do u mean by “You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor and manage OracleAS Portal”?
Do you mean OEM AS Console or OEM GC? Boz I only find these metrics from OEM AS Console, which mentioned in this doc. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/b25987/oracle_portal.htm#CHDFJHDD
If these metrics only available in AS Console, then how to let the OEM send out email notification if critical threshold is over?
Thank you.
Tony

Install of OEM Grid Control on 10g RAC

Hi,
I try to install OEM Grid Control 10.1.0.3 on a 10G 10.1.0.2 database with ASM and RAC installed, on windows.
At the step of choosing the product to install, i would like to choose 'OEM GC using an existing database' or 'Additional management service 10.1.0.3', but it fails.
The reason is 'you cannot install OEM on a hardware cluster'.
I have no idea how to resolve that, do i have to change my RAC installation ?
thank you for your answer,
Isabelle

To install on RAC, you install using an existing database and then specify the sid/hostname for ONE instance in the RAC.
Once the management repository has been sucessfully installed and the mid-tier is up, you can edit emoms.properties to modify the JDBC url the application uses to connect to the database to be RAC aware.
The are a number of pre-installation requisites for an existing database to be used as a destination for a repository installation, there are both documents on metalink on the subject and the basic installation guide references pre-requisites for existing databases.

Linux OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.1.0 installation issue

Just a heads up to anyone installing Linux OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.1.0
If you are doing a full install, the "product specific prerequisite checks" page will show an error on the following packages even if you have them installed.
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 (failed)
libstdc++devel-3.4.3-22.1 (failed)
openmotif-21-2.1.30-11 (failed)
Note that the installation works fine if you ignore the "missing" prerequisites. I believe the check itself is flawed. The openmotif check should be openmotif21-**** (extra hyphen incorrect in check - the old install was openmotif, now openmotif21), the libstdc++ needs a hypen added before the devel, and the compat-libstdc++ has yet another issue.
This is something the developers at oracle will have to fix.
Steve

Yes, you must download and install the 10.2.0.1 version and then patch it up to the 10.2.0.4 version.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gem/install/index.html
The above link shows you the install routine when using a new database, the steps for the existing database are only slightly different, all you need are the connection details for that existing database and you should be ok.
As for taking full backups of the Grid Control repository, I know many choose not to, space is always a big concern, but this depends on how critical your repository is to you. If you need it for the auditors, well then I'd suggest acquiring some more hard disks to up your space.

Installing OEM grid control on Linux 64 bit

Was someone able to install OEM grid control 10.2.0.1 on a RedHat linux 4.0 x86-64. I Know that it is not certified yet but most of the time it is possible to install a 32 bit application on a 64 bit OS.
Thanks

Yes, I have it installed. (let me tell you though, it wasn't easy!). A few notes:
1. Download and install compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/RedHat/
(this essentially puts a wrapper around gcc and transforms it into a shell script)
2. Modify /usr/bin/gcc to look like this (add –m32):
exec /usr/bin/gcc32 -m32 -static-libgcc -B/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/ "$@"
3. Execute “linux32 bash”
4. Run the installer.
Hope that helps.
P.S.: The installer might fail to detect the rpms below. Just make sure you have them installed.
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
libstdc++devel-3.4.3-22.1
openmotif-21-2.1.30-11

Monitor Linux Services through grid control 10g

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to monitor a linux service like samba/nfs/cups through grid control 10g. I mean if it could monitor status of these services and send a down alert if they re not running. I have large farm of linux servers being monitored by grid and most of them run these services so i was looking towards monitoring them through grid.
Let me know any ideas to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
Rohan

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply. I am new to GC. I cant find a setting while creating new metrics in grid to monitor a Linux service. Can you tell steps in brief to do this, or else is there any guide i can follow to create a plugin for grid control to discover a new type of target.
Thanks,
Rohan

How to install Grid Control 10g Release 3?

Hello,
I need install Grid Control 10g Release 3 for Linux x86_64 on SUSE 9, and I need some tips about this instalation.
I need registry 3 database, 1 DB is 10g and the others are in 9.2.
Can I help me?
Thank's

If you installed the 64-bit SLES-9, you are on the only platform that has a full install of 10gR3 Grid Control available:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html
Everyone else must install 10gR2 fully, then patch up to 10gR3.
Run runInstaller to start installation
- When asked for "install type" option, choose "Enterprise Manager using New Database" option
- Complete installation as per install guide
- Install the 10gR3 agent install on any additional servers that require monitoring.
Load and execute orarun to enable the correct kernel options if you not done so already. It can be downloaded from www.suse.com/oracle. Comment out any IPv6 entries from /etc/hosts. The O/S should be setup similar to the AS 10.1.2 install doc for SLES9:

OEM GRID control

hai all
I glad to introduce myself as venkat and i am using oracle version Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options on linux Linux venkat.oracle.com 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 02:16:47 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
IN this machines I am having multiple databases prod,test
can i maintain these two databases with single oem control
please gudie me
Thanks all

Hi,
can i maintain these two databases with single oem control Yes you can, you just need to install oracle agent on this machine and it will explore all the targets (databases, listeners etc) and will register with OEM grid control.
If you are using OEM database control, you need to configure individual OEM database controls for each database.

OEM GRID CONTROL REMOTE INSTALLATION

Hello Good People,
I am trying to install OEM GRID CONTROL. I have a two RAC node (AIX 5L). I don't have acces to the server so my only option is remote installation.
I was able to ftp the file into a directory on the server but it will not unzip, (error: couldn't find 10g.zp or 10g.ZIP). I uploaded the file as binary.
Okay, I will like to install from my laptop, (xp) using the DVD that I have. I went through the documentation steps below:
1. Make sure that the remote access software is installed and running on the remote and local computers.
2. On the local computer, share the DVD drive.
3. On the remote computer, map a drive letter to the shared DVD drive. You would use the remote access software to do this on the remote computer.
Through the remote access software, run Oracle Universal Installer on the remote computer. You access Oracle Universal Installer from the shared DVD drive.
I am confuse with step 2 downward. How can I map a drive in UNIX or why should I? I am connected to the sever by Telnet.
Any direction or suggestion will be appreciated. Please note that all I want is to remotely install GRID CONTROL on my server from the DVD that I have.
Thanks for your help.......

Based on further researched I discovered that the problem is due to the fact that I don't have an X-Window client install on my local machine. I just install a free trial version (30days). OUI finally started and went through the various checks. Although, the check passed I couldn't continue. It is saying missing some files. I will post the erros messages from the log in a while.
Thanks

Installing OEM Grid Control not complete?

Hi,
I've installed OEM Grid Control on Solaris 5.10
Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 2 (v10.2.x)
Full Installers (Agent, Repository, OMS, and Management Packs)
from link
but no OMS ha been installed.
I had no choice during the installation process to mark it as well as other components like: Agent, Repository.
Is it not enough to use Disk1/.../runInstaller ???
Can anybody advice me how to install it completely (without patches, they blur the process to me, at present)
?

Yes, that should be enough. After that you have to choose one of the 2 choices and click next
1) Enterprise manager 10g grid control using new database
2) Enterprise manager 10g grid control using existing database.
Thanks,
Tarun

RAC environment setup for OEM Grid Control

Hi All,
One of my customer is setting up RAC environment for OEM Grid Control, he has following questions.
1) Can I use the DirectNFS client on each RAC node to mount SAN storage created with an OCFS2 filesystem?
2) Can I use the DirectNSF client to mount the shared filesystem loader directory?
3) Should I be using DirectNFS for the shared filesystem loader at all? Or should I just use a normal Linux NFS mount?
4) Is OCFS2 preferred over NFS for the shared filesystem loader?
Any information is highly appriciated.
Thank you,
Bhavin
