Oracle 10g agent

Hi,
Could someone please refer to the Oracle site/page or any other that I can get info about the latest Oracle agent and download if possible.
Thanks

You could use the Oracle Grid installation set that you used on the server. There is a selection for only installing a Grid Agent. I am on HP-UX Itaniums and after several exchanges with support they suggested this method.

I guess the location is D:\oracle\agent10g\sysman\log
However, I do not see any information why th agent went down ..

This pretty much says it all:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.

Oracle 10g agent installation problem -- please advice. Thanks.

I am trying to push an agent from a 32-bit CentOS 4.5 machine (where I successfully installed EM Grid Control with Database & that's working fine) to a 2-node Oracle 10g Clusterware/RAC, each machine has 64-bit CentOS 4.5. The questions I have are:
1. Is this mixture of 32-bit/64-bit possible?
2. When I am performing agent install, everything seemed to work (with manual root.sh execution provision) but at the end it's giving a message
"Failure Preinstall Script Not Executed, Install Is Failed. Run root.sh Is Not Executed, PostInstall Script Is Not Executed. Collection Logs Is Success."
And I don't see any agent* directory anywhere in any of the intended RAC Cluster nodes -- also, no error message log!
Clusterware/RAC versin: 10.2.0.3
EM Grid Control: 10.2.0.1
I have no clue what are the meaning of these!
Can somebody please tell me how to fix it (no upgrade suggestion please)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I noticed that you'd like to install OEM Agent for 32bit on 64-bit machine.
Please look at the link below.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html#101x
Because OEM Agent on different platform are released separately.
eg.
For x86linux is Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip
For Linux x86-64 is Linux_x86_64_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_2_0.zip
So could you please install OEM agent version for linx x86-64 ?
but I can not find OEM agent 10.2.0.1 version on link above. Do you have this version for 64-bit ?
Regards
Jason

Oracle 10g - Vista Business - Agent unreachable in EM

Hi,
I can't seem to get the agent to be seen from EM.
Here is my config:
Windows Vista Business - Oracle 10g R2
I have done the following:
- secured the dbconsole
- made sure that the OS user has admin rights & can log on as a batch job
- env. vars ORACLE_SID and EMHOSTNAME are set
The agent log shows no errors (start and shutdown successfully).
The emoms.log shows:
2009-11-24 09:32:54,545 [HttpRequestHandler-15512561] ERROR eml.OMSHandshake processFailure.619 -
OMSHandshake failed.(AGENT URL = https://DBServer:3938/emd/main)(ERROR = KEY_MISMATCH)
I have seen some threads where people advise to unsecure the dbconsole but I don't know how to do it.
Can anyone help ? I have done many changes, but nothing seems to make it work and I am a bit lost.
Thanks !

How to configure SNMP agent for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I've installed oracle 10g in a Windows 2000 SP4 and I want to monitor database using SNMP.
I've already installed Windows SNMP agent but I haven't any idea how to configure Oracle in order to grant SNMP monitoring.
What should I do?
Is Oracle database ready to be monitored via SNMP by default?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carles

Hello,
Thanks for your message.
In fact, I already found this doc in oracle, but it just show executables I have to install and my question can I install these executables.
I've already installed Windows SNMP agent, configured and testedwith disk space checkings, but it doesn't work fine with Oracle.
I launched Oracle Universal Installer and I checked Installed Products, but I haven't found how to install SNMP agents for oracle.
How can I add Oracle Peer Master Agent and Encapsulator to my oracle installation?
Thanks again for your help.

VSS Agent for Oracle 10g ?

Hi there,
I have SAP NW2004s, Windows 2003 server 64bit, Oracle 10g
4 partition with 1 hdd, C for OS, D for SAP application E for system and oracle logs+archived, F for only database files
We are trying to get backup in extrinal HDD 3TB HDD... through Symantic exec backup utility ver. 12
C and D drivers are backup fine, but sometime when server very busy and symantic start full backup for E and D drive database shutdown... sap instance is fine, but only DB instance is stoped
We are not using Symantec Agent software, is there any other software can help for that for-exmaple VSS for oracle 10g... if yes, where may i get this software any link?
Why we are not using BR tools:
1 - as i maintion before when I select "E" drive which is all logs files located symantec stoped db instance
2 - in case if i am taking backup from brtools full backup online + archived so its only take database backup + archived, not all others structure in case hard-drive failer, and data restore from symantec so its will be ok with C drive and D drive, but its nohting resotre for E and D
when I try to restore from oracle brtools to restore its getting an error for missing structure in E
so thats why I am looking only one solution either perfect symantec with online backup
please give me some advised
Thanks

Hi,
Please use the standard & reliable Backup/Restore methods for any DB, to avoid more headache while Backup/Restore Operations.
Please refer [this thread|Re: Need some advise]. it will attend your most of questions. Some other alternatives (without using Backup agent) are mentioned there.
If you use Backup Agent to perform any DB backup, then It will be reliable method to perform Backup/Restore operations of DB.
With BR*tools u can also perform Non-Database Backup. Please refer [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/0c/cd271365debc42bef96ac7fd907787/frameset.htm] and other relative links.
If you have configured the Backup Exec utility with Oracle agent on the DB server, then you can perform Online Backup by deselecting "Perform the backup offline" option withing that Oracle Backup Job properties.

Oracle 9i and 10g Agents on one server

Hello,
What are the conflicts if I installed 10g agent on the server that 9i agent already occupy. I want to use 9i and 10g OEM. Thank you in advance.

I dont believe you will have any issues. They are very different. The 10g agent goes in its own home and has its own binaries running against the db.

Oracle 10g intelligent agent

Hi,
I can see the agenctl and dbsnmp in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin for 9i installations but I can't see any of that for the 10g install. Can someone please point me to where the agent executables and control scripts reside on a 10g install?
Or the agent does not come with the 10g database software?
Thanks

wait,
there is no Intelligent Agent in 10g.
There is new kind of agent, the Enterprise Manager 10g agent. You deploy only one 10g agent per host, and it will monitor not only all your databases, but also your file systems and operating system.
You can have both agents running, the Intelligent Agent (8i/9i) and the Grid Control Agent (10g).
There is no way, as far as I know, to upgrade your 9i agent to 10g. You have to configure your Grid. The agents are not at all compatible, they do not use the same port and they do not use the same protocol (the 10g agent use HTTP).

Oracle 10g installation problem on RHEL4

hi,
I am installing oracle 10g on red hat linux. I read the complete documentation and the mailing lists and have installed all the required RPMs.
When I start install, I get the following three errors:
error in invoking target 'install' of makefile
'u/01/app/oracle/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk'.
error in invoking target 'agent nmo nmb' of makefile
'u/01/app/oracle/ctx/lib/ins_sysman.mk'.
error in invoking target 'all_no_orcl' of makefile
'u/01/app/oracle/ctx/lib/ins_rdbms.mk'.
This error is popped up when the link part is going on. I am installing the standard edition and have done all the possible things mentioned in the documentation.
Can someone pls help me understand where is the problem
thanx in advance,
jayesh

i had the same sequence of errors on installing (10g on Redhat AS4)
The first error (INFO: /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
) is solved by installing the following package (you need the glibc-devel i386 package installed as well as the x86_64 version)
up2date --arch=i386 glibc-devel
The second error, I am currently stuck at (error in invoking target agent nmo nmb...of makefile ins_sysman.mk)

Any ideas, people, please?

Oracle 10G Non-Network install - OEM will not start when on the LAN.

Greetings,
Got through a non-networked 10G Enterprise installation OK; I chose to create the orcl schema, connected to it through various utilities, added new tablespace, and all was well. I also checked my Host Name by pinging it in DOS, it showed me the IP address of the MS loopback adapter which is what I was expecting.
Once I connected the same machine to the LAN (and internet) and re-booted, for some reason the Host Name was now assigned the dynamic IP address of the LAN and not LAN2 (which is the loopback adapter that is assigned a static local IP address). It did this even though I had already added an entry in the /etc/hosts file that explicitly assigns a static IP address to the Host Name (as recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions). I also could not get the OEM to launch a webpage, run and connect to the orcl database after the re-boot; I am wondering if this is related to the IP address assigned to Host Name changing; maybe the Oracle agent can no longer resolve the URL for some reason?
In the end I find that the only way to insure I can have a working Oracle environment and be on an active network at the same time, is to bring up the Oracle environment on a standalone system first, and once Oracle is running connect the system to the network. Is there no way to automate this process?
The format of the hosts file entry recommended by the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions is as follows:
===========================================================
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
where:
IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered for the loopback adapter.
hostname is the name of the computer.
domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
==========================================================
In my case since I am not part of a Windows domain (but am part of a Windows Workgroup), I added an entry in the /etc/host file that looks like the following:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:

==> Note that I did not add the domain name to the entry I created since I am not part of a domain, I also used the format I found in the etc/hosts file which is:
IP_address hostname.domainname
- not -
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Which is the format recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions; this does leave me wondering which format is correct...
Thanks in Advance for any help,

I have not. I am hoping someone (maybe even from Oracle support) will step up and officially tell us we are either right or wrong in the way we are approaching this. From the research I have done on the internet it sounds like this should work, you should be able to have Oracle starting and running fine whether you boot connected to the LAN or not, assuming you have created the MS loopback adapter, assigned it a static IP, and changed the hostname entry in etc/hosts file as part of the 10G WinXP recommended pre-installation instructions.
And yet I find I have to start Oracle when I am not connected to the LAN or the services will not start correctly. If this is a "feature" then hopefully someone will tell us and maybe give us a workaround or give us an idea if this will be addressed in a future release. Having said that and in fairness to the Oracle product; being a developer I have other products installed on my machine that have special networking setup needs also, and in my case this could be exasperating or even possibly causing this Oracle problem I am having. To be specific I have software for 2 different VPNs installed so I can tunnel into 2 private networks. One of these VPNs require me to make use of a DNS Suffix (as shown below) which might be contributing to my problems, not sure. I also have VMWare installed which uses it own network adapters when it is running, so you can see how things could get a little hairy... at any rate, there is my 2 cents worth (or is that 5 cents? : )
fwiw,

Not able to access Oracle 10g XE database home page on Windows XP?

I wanted to practise pl/sql in my office pc. I installed Oracle 10g XE on my machine and after that I also started Agent from Services. However When i clicked on Database home page it doesn't start. Changing network configuration might create problem in network. Can anybody help me working out this problem or has any alternative to practise PL/SQL with tiny oracle database.
Regards

Did you configure loopback adapter?
:p

How to setup Oracle 10g grid on a node other than SERVER

Hi,
We are in a process of moving the database residing on Windows servers to IBM AIX5L servers. For this purpose I came up with an idea of installing database on AIX and operate it remotely on Windows platform using 10g Grid Control and 10g Client. For this to happen perfectly, I am in middle of implementing same concept on Windows platfrom. I have made a test database on a Windows based server and I am trying to connect it with another Window based node. I know hwo to connect it using a client software but I am more interested to do it on Grid Control.
At this stage, I have created database on server and have also configured Oracle Management Agent along with Oracle 10g Grid Control. I read oracle documentation that it is necessary to install Oracle Management Agent on server machine in order to let other nodes get connected with the server.
I would extremely appreciate anyone who could help me in setting up 10g grid control on another node. Please note I wish to operate the database using grid control remotely. For know you can consider both computers on same network, I will go on VPN once I am able to do it on local network.
Looking forward for your reply

Hi Xaheer,
Thanks for looking into this matter. I had agent and grid running on the server and I have almost installed 10g Grid control 10.2.0.2. The place where I am stuck now is the OMS Configuration script that run after the installation in Configuration Assistant window. It just stuck here for some minutes and then displays the error. Let me paste here the lines in that appears in the detail panel of installation wizard.
Output generated from configuration assistant "OMS Configuration"
Command = oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.OmsPlugIn -configureOms
Operation Stopping OPMN Processes is in progress.
Operation EM Deploying is in progress.
Operation Creating OMS Respository is in progress.
Configuration assistant "OMS Configuration" failed
The "d:\OracleHomes\agent10g\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the oracle installation guide, I had to deconfigure the database before running the setup. I did it using this command,
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
AS far as i think, I am getting this error becouse of sysman schema which was droped during the installation and was recreated( as I read in the oracle installation guide ) is not found by the script. So in order to b ring back sysman schema, I recreated the repository using following commands.
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
Now, the database on server is not starting up. I can just see RED downword error, u know what i mean right ? Everyting is down, Database instance, Listener and Agent Connection to Instance, and on the top pf page I can see " Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. The state of the components are listed below."
When I try to startup the database using the grid control it gives me this error.
Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null.
I am stuck in here. If you know how to fix this agent , i would really appreciate that.
Thanks
