OEM VS GRID CONTROL

Hi, can anyone please the me the difference between Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) and Grid Control. I would have thought both are the same thing, am I right? or is there any difference between OEM and Grid Control?? Thanks in advance

Grid Control is, first and foremost, a monitoring tool that has the ability to invoke the appropriate administration tool.
In the case of Oracle Database, the majority of the administration tool has been included in the grid control, but that is not universally true. In the case of Oracle Application Server, nearly every administrative action (startup, shutdown, reconfigure) is done by starting up the Application Server OEM tool.
There are many capabilities in Grid Control, related to monitoring and reporting, that are not available in OEM. There are also some capabilities in OEM that are not in Grid Control.
When looking at the entire IT infrastructure for an enterprise, it is not a good idea to consider 'either one or the other', but to consider that OEM and Grid Control are both parts of a complete monitoring and administration solution.

    How to figure out server has capacity to install OEM 10 Grid control
    Hi Experts
    I have HP_UX 11.11 server which has 1 instance on it with version 10.2.0.1.0.
    Now I would like to install Grid control with a separate instance for repository.
    I was told I would need 2 GB Ram for OMS and 2 GB Ram for instance.
    Now how do I figure out if my server has enough resources from Ram perspective
    Following is output from top and vmstat
    1. for top it says 3045556K free , now is this free memory virtual(real +swap) or real?
    2. as per top I only have free 3GB(3045556K) , so does that mean I can not have OMS & repository on
    this server ?
    3. In vmstat I see free memory as 762335
    in man it says free - Size of the free list
    what does this mean, how much is my free meemory ?
    4. For OMS I read - It is a J2EE application that is installed and deployed using Oracle
    Application Server
    Now when I look at top I see these processes
    0 ? 26521 oasadm 152 20 1517M 1141M run 3:49 2.53 2.52 java
    0 ? 3377 oasadm 152 20 1657M 1276M run 54:49 1.88 1.88 java
    Does oasadm user means Oracle application server ? If yes does it mean I will not
    need 2GB for OMS ?

    how much is my free meemory ?Do you have kmeminfo command installed?
    4. For OMS I read - It is a J2EE application that is
    installed and deployed using Oracle Application Server
    s oasadm user means Oracle application server ? If
    yes does it mean I will not need 2GB for OMS ?Even if that java vm is an instance of Oracle AS (OC4J), the Grid Control installs a separate instance of AS. The choice to install OMS app to any existing AS home does not exist in any version I know.
    Find out what more is running on the box and how much resources (i.e. RAM) those apps are configured with.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • OEM 11g grid control - Question

    Dear DBA's,
    I'm using 11g grid control, RDBMS - 11.2.0.2 on RHEL 5.0
    My current setup : I have 4 node RAC database running on (node1, node2, node3, node4). My RMAN backup job in EM runs from node1.
    Preferred setup : I need to modify this job or create a new one (whichever is feasible) so that my backup job runs from (node3 or node4) instead of node1.
    Can you kindly suggest How can I modify the setup to meet my requirement?
    Thanks

    I made these changes in the RMAN script (In OEM JOB Parameters) and still see backup running from node1.
    I have recreated jobs (Changed ownership of these jobs from SYMAN to a different ID, which was also part of my task) and during Job creation, while adding targets (I chose target type as Database instance of node4 instead of Cluster database) This fulfilled my request. Thanks again for your reply.

  • 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.

    At the end of the installation I got this message:
    See below for information pertaining to your Enterprise Manager installation:
    1. Use the following URL to access the Enterprise Manager Grid Control:
    http://server01.ebiztech.biz:4889/em
    2. The Enterprise Manager installation includes an Oracle Application Server instance, which is administered using a special "ias_admin" user account. The following information was defaulted for the embedded Application Server instance:
    Instance Name:    EnterpriseManager0.server01.ebiztech.biz
    ias_admin password: This password is the same the SYSMAN account.
    3. The connection details for the Enterprise Manager Repository are:
    Host: server01.ebiztech.biz
    Port: 1521
    SID: emrepI can do #1, and #3.
    How do I access #2? what is the URL corresponding to it? Or is it done through SQLPlus?
    Thanks a lot,
    Ms K

    Thanks Raj,
    Of course I will upgrade it, but for now I am still cramming on how to complete my installation huhuhhu:(
    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.

    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
