Pre-Requisites for OEM/Grid Control?

Just to be absolutely clear - The latest version of OEM/Grid Control requires what version of Oracle DB?
We are begin conservative and rolling out 11g r1 in production and want to know if that is sufficient to host the lastet version of OEM/Grid Control.
If not, will it support an earlier version of OEM/Grid Control? What version?
Is there a support matrix that clearly identifies the version dependencies?

And Support Note "Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker (Doc ID 412431.1)" is referenced. It states that you can use as old as Oracle Database 10g Release 2 10.2.0.4. Older than that, and you leave supported territory anyway.

Do we have any certification for OEM -grid control ?

There is currently no OEM grid control certification and currently no plans to build one. You can stay up-to-date on new and upcoming Oracle releases on our website at http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=224.

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

Which? - License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

I took a look at the price list and I wanted to clarify the "Named User Plus". The Diagnostic and Tuning Packs are each shown as $100 for the named user. As a DBA, if I have a named user license for these two management packs, does this mean that I can manage as many databases as needed with these two management packs?

Wow, 25 separate dbcontrols sound like a nightmare.
By the way, our Oracle rep just happened to come here yesterday, and he validated what was said here.
You can install the Grid Control free; you simply un-check the Packs/Add-Ins during the install.
As I understand it, you would install the Grid Control Agent first on each server, then when you install Oracle RDBMS, the Universal Installer will detect the Agent and enable the Grid Control instead of the Database Control.
Then you install the OEM Grid Control repository and software on a separate server, and that is where you manage all of the Oracle RDBMS servers from.
He also said to use the highest version Grid Control Agents on the database servers and repository server and keep the versions of that software in sync, which is separate from the Oracle RDBMS version.

License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

I have searched the forums and found the link below in a discussion about the Enterprise Manager Grid Control, but nobody answered this question specifically:
Can you freely install and use the Grid Control (with no additional Packs or Add-Ins)? Or does the Grid Control itself require a license?
P.S. The price list linked here only displays prices for Grid Control Packs and Add-Ins:

Enabling security for OEM Grid Control 11g fails

Hi Experts,
One of my Customer is referring the below command to secure OMS and it fails.
emctl secure oms [-sysman_pwd <sysman password>] [-reg_pwd <registration password>] [-host <hostname>] [-slb_port <slb port>] [-slb_console_port <slb console port>] [-reset] [-console] [-lock] [-lock_console] [-secure_port <secure_port>] [-upload_http_port <upload_http_port>] [-root_dc <root_dc>] [-root_country <root_country>] [-root_email <root_email>] [-root_state <root_state>] [-root_loc <root_loc>] [-root_org <root_org>] [-root_unit <root_unit>] [-wallet <wallet_loc> -trust_certs_loc <certs_loc>] [-wallet_pwd <pwd>] [-key_strength <strength>] [-cert_validity <validity>] [-protocol <protocol>]
The error message as below.
Securing OMS... Started.
<May 31, 2011 4:40:31 PM CEST> <Warning> <Security> <BEA-090504> <Certificate chain received from <hostname of the actual node running OEM> - <IP of the hostname of the actual node running OEM> failed hostname verification check. Certificate contained <SLB hostname> but check expected <hostname of the actual node running OEM>
Securing OMS... Failed
The brief background of the wallet creation is as below.
The actual certificate and CSR is created using openssl with a config file openssl-oemgc.cnf. This is according to customer organization's policy and how the production signed certificates have to be requested. The CN is indeed <SLB hostname>. The used syntax was:
openssl req -new -keyout <SLB hostname>.key -out <SLB hostname>.csr -config openssl-oemgc.cnf
The config file content can be referred in the service request.
Following the guide on
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13749/utils.htm#ADMRF151
the certificates were imported into a java keystore 'identity.jks'. And the certificate chain was imported in a java keystore 'trust.jks'.
With these customer has followed note 1278609.1 to configure these keystores in WLS. The certificates show up fine without errors in the browser when opening the WLS console.
Then according to notes 1116717.1 customer has created an Oracle wallet. Then he copied that wallet to an old 10g oracle application server and opened the wallet with 'owm' and saved it. Then he has copied the wallet to the new Oem Grid Control and opened it with'owm' (this now succeeds) and saved it with SSO. This is the wallet that customer is using while trying to secure the OMS.
Service Request: 3-3731274961
Any input is highly appreciated.

OEM Grid Control and PSOVM

Hi,
Oracle provides templates for OEM Grid Control (x86 32bits), it would be really great to have it more integrated within PSOVM.
How could it be integrated within PSOVM ?
1. On the PSOVM database server, have a database agent installed
2. On the PSOVM App/Batch/PIA server, have a Peoplesoft agent installed
Whether the first is over used almost everywhere, the latter is not used by many customers, and really that's a pity and would be great to have it in first place in demo purpose.
Is that doable to have it installed by default ?
If done, we'll just have to install the Peoplesoft plugin in OEM Grid Control...
Nicolas.

Assuing this a regular backup . by any chance had the box credential changed?

HOW TO RELINK OEM GRID CONTROL 10.1.0.2 ON AIX 5L

We are in process for patching our OS from 5.3-01+APARs to 5.3-02 and usually we relink all our oracle products after OS patching.
I have notes for DB and AS but not for OEM GRID CONTROL.
Any help are appreciated.
Diego.

I thnk you can run /u001/app/oracle/product/10.1.0.3_oms/bin/relink for relinking your binaries.

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.

Weblogic license required for 11g Grid Control?

Weblogic is a pre-requisite for installing 11g Grid Control.
if you do not have weblogic already, and your only requirement for it is to use for Grid Control, is a license for Weblogic required?
I have raised an SR on this - and have been told a license is required.
I'm staggered by this - the packs in Grid have always been licensable, but the very basic functionality has always been free - including the use of an 'infrastructure' database to house the repository.
I'm interested to hear other peoples' experiences and whether this is a 'known' fact.

I've already asked Oracle sales staff about it, but I don't want to mislead you.
Could you remind them their restricted-use license?
Grid Control includes a restricted-use license for the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server components required to deploy Grid Control. Refer to Section 1.3.3,
"Restricted-Use Licensing," for details on the restricted-use licenses
This is the URL of the document: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14860.pdf
I would be happy to hear from their answer.

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

Deploying oem grid control to e bussiness suites

We have installation of EBS R12, the AMP pack for EBS system is installed on the and already running. Now we want to use oem grid control to manage the EBS suites.
We have installed the eom 11G grid control and installed the application management pack patche (p8333939). How do we now deploy the enterprise manager grid control to EBS.
The documentation says agent needs to installed on the database tier and application tier and then discovered by the oem
Any idea on how to install the agent on the tier?

The platform is solaris 10. I have deploying to the database tier and the following errors is received

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.
