Question about Grid Control Installation

Hello,
I have two instances of 12i VISION apps with rdbms database 11i running on two different linux systems. I wanted to install 11g grid control to get familiar with the utility.
Do I need to do the install on one of these linux machines or can I install it on a windows client?
I need some help please.
A/A

Hello,
I would suggest install grid control on separate server from rdbms, apps or even client machine
Cheers

Question about Grid Control Agents on a Veritas Cluster (or any cluster)

Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to setup Grid Control agents on a Veritas Cluster.
My cluster is made up of two Sun M4000 servers running Solaris 10 x64 (node1 and node2), and 8 virtual hosts setup to fail between the nodes. Each of these virtual hosts has several mount points from a SAN, and contain Oracle 9 and 10 homes as well as databases. The versions are 9.2.0.8 and 10.2.0.3.
I have a full grid control agent install on each node to mount points that don't fail over to the other nodes. These agents monitor the nodes themselves.
Now for my question, is it better to do full intalls of the grid agent in each virtual host or to use the "emctl deploy agent" from the full installs already on node1 and node2 to the virtual hosts? Or is there some other, better way to do this.
Either method results in 9 grid control agents on a node if all the virtual hosts are on that box. I've experimented with both agent deploys and installs a bit and found that the cpu usage goes though the roof with that many agents on one server. Maybe I don't have them configured correctly, but every now and then they spike cpu usage to 100%, and these servers have 8, dual core processors in them with 32GB of RAM.
Thanks for any tips!
Currently, my setup looks something like this, if it helps:
ORANODE1...........................................ORANODE2
user: oracle..........................................user: oracle
full agent install....................................full agent install
VirtualHost1
user: ora_user1
Oracle 10G Home
repository database
OMS install

VirtualHost7

Will the agent 10.2.0.3 work with Grid Control 10.2.0.1
Yes.

Are you doing the Grid Control installation into a new Oracle Home? I would try a fresh installation...Typically, the installation itself is fairly straightforward..

10g Grid Control Installation/configuration on RAC

Hi Experts,
I am new to RAC and I need your help.
I need to configure 2 node RAC and install/configure Oracle 10g Grid control (High Availability) on HP-UX Itanium servers. Is there any good document or link?
Thank You all in advance
Bell

Hi Bell,
Here is the link for the 10gR5 Grid Control Installation Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/install.102/e10953/toc.htm
Considering the GC repository is a RAC database you will be performing the "+Using an Existing Database+" installation type.
I would highlight the below part of the documentation:
To view a list of certified Oracle Database, see Document ID 412431.1 on My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
If you want to use a RAC database, which is configured on a virtual host, as the existing database, then refer to Document ID 561441.1 on My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
HTH,
Regards,
Jozsef

The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server ?

Hi
The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server to create the Repository Database or I have to install and Oracle Server before ?
Thanks

I have installed both Grid Control and with GC 11g and WebLogic Server and I don't recall creating the respository before the install.
You will have to choose which install you are going to use. Grid Control 11g requires WebLogic Server install.

Question about fan control MSI MPower

Hi, Cosimo from Italy, sorry for my bad english.
I have a question about fan control with the MSI MPower.
The MPower site says: All 4-pin PWM fan connector Onboard
But the manual says: SYSFAN1-4 pin 4 No Use
My question is: the Control Center Fan Utility support the fan connect SYSFAN1-4 3 Pin voltage controled or 4 Pin pulse width controled or both?
Thanks Cosimo.

The fans will run as per your percentage setting in the BIOS.
I can't find the percentage setting in BIOS...

10g grid control installation (hanging problem) on RHEL AS 4.0

At a stage after specifying security options the OUI hangs for long time (for about 15 mins) then it works fine till 100% installation then hanged for all day which i nevar see - (execute configuration scripts step). After a huge frustration i stopped the installation. Did anyone has come across this kind of problem..can anyone help me out of this problem...thanks in advance..
The last few lines from logfile shows:
*** End of Installation Page***
The installation of Oracle Enterprise Manager Repository Database was successful.

Security concern about grid control agent

I am planning for grid control rollout. Our system administrator is concerned about
security of grid control agent. For example, I do not know the Oracle password,
I sudo to Oracle after login as myself.
What are the options do I have ? I have told my system admin that
other companies use "oracle" - the database sysdba/software owner as agent owner.
But my system admin think this is a big security risk since he has to tell me the
oracle password

In more explicit terms, what is the security concern you have?
Specifically, I do not see what you mean by the sentence:
when I install grid control agent as "oracle", I provide "oracle "password in order
to run job on our unix server.By "oracle" are you referring to the Oracle Software owner account, by which the Database and/or EM software was installed?
Please explain how the job is related to installation of management agent. If you are talking about running jobs after installation, when agent is configured and running, where and how exaclty are you required to enter "oracle" password?

Oracle 10g Grid Control Installation On RedHat Advanced Server 3.0

I am planing to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 1 (v10.1.0.3)
on RedHat Advanced Server 3.0. The agent I am trying to download is showing version 10.1.0.4.1. I am not sure iof this agent is going to work with (v10.1.0.3). Pl. let me know if someone has performed this installation. Do I need to apply any patch on OEM and agent.
Thanks
Raj

Actually, entirely the other way around, unless you like seeing errors in your OMS.
OMS must be at at least the same patch level as the communicating agents.
10.1.0.3 agent against a 10.1.0.4 OMS = OK
10.1.0.4 agent against a 10.1.0.3 OMS = Bad mojo
Download the 10.1.0.4.1 patchset from Metalink and update your OMS, or stick with the 10.1.0.3 agent if you've no access to metalink.

Grid control Installation.

Hello Everybody,
I have to immplement the 10g grid control and the scenario's goes like this.
I have database installed on HP-UX 11.11i and a Windows server.
Now can I install the grid agent on HP-UX(database server) and a OMS(repository) on Windows server 2003.
Is there any compatibility issues.
Eagarly waiting for your responses?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What I understood out of the description is ...
You have 2 servers
1) HP UX ====> Already one database is running which you want to monitor after implementing grid control
2) Windows server =====> Here you are planning to install grid control 10g mean OMS repository as per your quote
First,
You can install Grid Control in any of the 2 servers it is available for HPUX as well as Windows.
Grid control monitors targets (i.e. databases, hosts, listeners etc.) through Agent software which is available for all the
flavours of unix and windows. So, you can install grid control on any of the box and monitor both the boxes. There will
be no compatibility issues.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Nirav
