Oracle Cloud Control 12c and licensing

Hey Guys, Can someone please elucidate on the Cloud Control 12c licensing requirements?
Following are all the licenses we currently hold:
1. Oracle Enterprise Edition DB
2. Oracle RAC
3. Oracle Active Data Guard
4. Diagnostic and Tuning Pack
5. Partitioning Option
6. Advanced Security Option
7. GoldenGate
My understanding is that I could install and access Grid/Cloud control as long as I have the Diagnostic and Tuning Pack - and of course to all products we are licensed for.
Questions:
1. Do I need any license for Weblogic server?
2. Can I setup OMS in a clustered architecture?
3. Can I have the RAC database for the repository?
4. Can I access the High Availability options - DG etc?
5. Can I administer RAC and GI services from Cloud Control?
I would've thought that as long as I have access to the underlying DB options, Grid/Cloud control can be used to administer over them.
Could someone please help in clearing this up?
Regards
Sridhar

I highly recommend you to read the Enterprise Manager Licensing Information:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24474/toc.htm
Quick answers for your questions:
1) No, as long as you use it only for EM
2) Yes you can.
3) You need to buy licenses for RAC option (for both nodes) and DB licenses for second node.
4) You mean accessing DG pages on EM pages right? Yes you can. They do not need any license pack. Btw you can check if a page requires additional licensing using "setup > management packs > packs for the page" menu.
5) Yes you can.
But as I said, it's better to read the licencing document by yourself, and contact Oracle sales for more information.

Cloud control 12c and management agent 11.1

Hello everyone!
I have installed oracle cloud control 12c (12.1.0.2) on Win platform.
and it does not have an access to the internet yet.
I have database targets only on Linux hosts. In my case CC does not have approriate Agent software for linux hosts.
So the question is :
How can I configure cloud control with datbases hosts on linux ?
Can I use 11.1 agent software ?
Thanks.

1- For CC 12c you have to use 12c agents. Lower agent versions will not work.
2- A " how to" on downloading agent software and adding it to your OMS can be found here: http://www.gokhanatil.com/2012/03/how-to-download-new-agent-software-for-oracle-cloud-control-12c-in-offline-mode.html
Push the agent to *UX servers: http://www.gokhanatil.com/2011/10/how-to-deploy-oracle-management-agent.html
If you want to push the agent to the Linux servers you have to install CYGWIN on the (Windows) OMS server.

How to find out Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Home page

Hi all,
I have a PROD environment with OEM Cloud Control 12c and I do know its home page, but today I was wondering, what if I do not know the environment where could I get this info.
So I tried to find it out on Oracle docs and on the internet, on my environment but I was not able to find this info.
Could you guys help me?
Thanks in advance.

The easiest way is to run emctl status oms -details command from OMS_HOME/bin and check for the value for Console URL

Installing Cloud Control 12c agent on other blades thru RPM and response file sets wrong cluster name

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this. We installed em Cloud Control 12c and its agents on miscellaneous machines.
We first proceeded with two target-nodes part of a Grid Infra cluster (let's call it proclu_1). OS is RH6.
Then, using the same method (1/ yum -y install /tmp/oracle-agt-12.1.0.3.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm and then
2/ /etc/init.d/oracle-agt RESPONSE_FILE=/usr/lib/oracle/agent/agent.properties) we installed the agent on 2 other
blades that are part of another cluster (proclu_2). The agent.properties file above just contained the usual key-value lines:
OMS_HOST=omsmachine.stuff.be
OMS_PORT=4889
AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD=ametemp
AGENT_USERNAME=oracle
AGENT_GROUP=oinstall
AGENT_PORT=3873
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=promachine.stuff.be
Now if I change dir to /usr/lib/oracle/agent and search for the name "proclu*" from there, I find the name of the
first install (on first cluster proclu_1):
[oracle@bladb0406 agent]$ pwd
/usr/lib/oracle
[oracle@bladb0406 oracle]$ find . -name "proclu_1*"
./agent/agent_inst/sysman/emd/state/has/proclu2/cluster/proclu
./agent/agent_inst/sysman/emd/state/configstate/cluster/proclu_1
./agent/agent_inst/sysman/emd/state/statemgmt/cluster/proclu_1
./agent/agent_inst/sysman/log/targets/cluster/proclu_1
My questions:
1/ on the first two nodes (blada0204 & blada0406) of our first cluster doing this 'find' returns the
same directory names with "proclu_1", this is what we expected: where did the oracle-agt script pick up
our cluster name ?
2/ why has it set the same -and wrong- "proclu_1" name on our two other nodes (bladb0204 & bladb0406) ??
(we would've expected "proclu_2"...)
Is there a way to correct this, or should I reinstall the agent (after configuring/modifying something somewhere
so that it picks up the correct cluster name...) ??
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Seb

Unfortunately, this goes back to the RAC install procedures. Check the cluster name for each cluster. If they're all installed the same, then you'll need to manually discover/edit name when you promote so that your clusters are unique in EM.
To verify name set for clusterware installation:
<CRS_HOME>/bin/cemutlo -n

Oracle VM and Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c M

Hello!
After installation of *"Oracle VM 3.1.1 Media Pack v1 for x86_64 (64 bit)"* to bare hardware
can I install Oracle VM Template for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Media Pack ?
Is it the wrong plan ?
What to do if I need to set VLAN №1 ? (according note of installer I have to choose number between 2 and 4094 )
Thanks and regards,
Pavel
Edited by: Pavel on Jul 30, 2012 5:01 AM

Yes, you can install Oracle VM Manager, create a server pool with the one parent Oracle VM server in it, and then deploy the Oracle VM template in the pool. Once EM VM is up and running, you can register the same Oracle VM Manager with EM, to manage the pool.
In general, it is not recommended that you use the OVM server backend directly. But for bootstrapping the EM environment, you can also try the following:
Download the OVM Template on the Oracle VM server. From the OVM server terminal itself you can do "xm create" to spin a new virtual machine using the Oracle VM teamplate. Once the VM comes up, VNC into the VM and configure the EM OMS and agent.

Cloud Control 12c monitoring Oracle 11g Standard Edition alert.log

Hi guys.
I just installed Cloud Control 12c3 and added my cluster database, I have readed many papers, tech docs and tech discuss and now i have a huge confussion about packs, licensing and other fruits. Please help...
I have four Oracle 11g databases (differents hosts) Standard Edition, and i want monitoring and notificate alert.log errors. For example, if alert.log says "ORA-01438, blablabla" i want a email notification.
I read about packs, and says that "diagnostic pack" is needed for alert.log monitoring in Cloud Control 12c. But my version database is Standard Edition without packs, so I CAN'T MONITORING ALERT LOG!!!.
Question:
Do I really need Diagnostic Pack for monitoring alert.log with Cloud Control?
If Diagnostinc Pack is not necessary, how can i monitoring alert.log?
Thanks

I do not think you require any pack for alert.log content monitoring but you might need to check with Oracle rep. I am saying so because if you go to the "Alert log content" page and click on management pack for this page, Grid will display a message that this page does not require any pack.
Go to the Alert log content by "oracle database -> logs -> alert log contents"
then
go to SETUP -> management packs -> packs for this page
You will see the message will be displayed " this pages does not require any pack"
Can you also provide the doc where it says that this pae needs diagnostic pack?

Performance tab in Cloud Control 12c

Hi guyz,
How can I activate Performance tab in EM Cloud Control 12c? Do I need any license or is there light version?
In Grid Control 11g it was easy to activate.
Thank you beforehand.

Could you please confirm the Database Diagnostic Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack is enabled for the database.
From the Setup -> Management Pack -> Management Pack Access
To enable the Management Pack for Oracle Database:
From the Setup menu, select Management Packs, then select Management Pack Access.Enterprise Manager Cloud Control displays the Management Pack Access page.
In the Management Pack Access page, from the Search list, select Database ===> It will lists all the Oracle Database targets being monitored.
From the table, for the select your Oracle Database target and enable the Oracle Diagnostics Pack, Oracle Database Tuning Pack and click Apply.

Creating physical standby through Cloud Control 12C fails

Hi,
I have a SR with MOS on physical standby setup through Cloud Control 12C. My setup is two Exadata Quarter RAC X2-2 installations and i'm setting up primary standby/between those two installations. Lets call them exa1db01(primary) and exa2db01(standby).
I'm using Cloud version 12.1.0.2 and agents on the latest version and patch. We just upgraded before Christmas. When i try to create a physical standby it fails on the transfer stage with below error:
"Uncaught exception in command fileTransfer: unable to instantive value javax.xml.bind.JAXBE1ement@46dd1e39 for attribute actualException"
At the moment its sent to developement so i have to wait for a fix. The reason for posting here is that i cant believe that this is not working on Cloud Control 12.1.0.2. This is basic functionality and i'm amazed that this is a bug. Our Exadata installation is running on 11.2.0.3 BP10 so it should be fairly fresh.
I truly believe the problems needs to be somewhere in our installation or the connectivity between our Exadata environments. Do any of you have any experience with DG through Cloud on that participial version ?
Cheers

EM Cloud Control 12c has no databases

Hello @ all,
i've installed Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.2.0 on a virtual machine with RedHat Linux 6 and configured the EM by installing it so, that he should connect to my test database server with Oracle 11g 11.2.0.3.0 to watch over that. The installer get a valid connection to that database server.
Now, after install, i want to test the connection. So i started the Overview of EMCC in my browser, connected as SYSMAN, selected the "Database Home" and at the frame "Database Loadmap" there displays the message "no databases available". But the database at the test server is running without any problem:

Dbcontrol migrate to enterprise manager cloud control 12c

Currently we are using Oracle 11gR2 database in our enterprise and manage them with EM database control.
We're planning to migrate to centralized management with oracle enterprise manager cloud control 12c.
Is it possible to manage DBs both ways, with db control AND using EMCC agent simultaneously?
Is there a easy way to migrate db control managed DBs to be managed by agent?
I've searched EM documentation but didn't find any topic about this job.

Hi P2
Yes You can manage DB from both. But why you are going to use EM instead of Cloud Control 12. You Can do each and every work from it more tan EM. Cloud Control 12c is very good tool.
No. But You can easily setup them using manual agent push or auto discovery method from cloud control 12c. You need to create password less ssh login to both side for oracle user and open the relevant ports from network. It is very easy. After add agent you can add targets from relevant hosts easily.
Thanks

Why did you think that there was a need to post the thread link, related to a different domain in this forum? You had a question related to EM and you posted it in the very thread that belongs to that question so what was the requirement to again pop up that thread over here which has nothing to do with it? And that too, within a minute of posting the original thread! If you thought your question was very "urgent" , you could always raise it to Oracle Support with Sev 1 .

Acknowledge multiple incidents on OEM cloud control 12c

Hey Guys,
Is there a way to acknowledge multiple incidents through the OEM cloud control 12c GUI like we had in OEM 10g and 11g? I cannot find an option to select multiple incidents and this is really bugging me a lot.
Thanks
Abhishek

From the oracle link you gave
"Select the incidents to which you want to respond. You can select multiple incidents by holding down the Control key and selecting individual incidents or you can hold down the Shift key and select the first and last incidents to select a contiguous block of incidents."
Thanks Mani! Fist thing I'll try tomorrow morning
Doesn't work for me Mani... Anyone else facing issues?
