Trying to monitor my sql servers in OEM Grid Control

Hello,
I have Oracle 10g OEM and I want to start monitoring my sql server databases. I've got the plug-in all setup but when it displays under my "Databases" it shows and status "down". My sql server host is running, listener running, and database is up but when I try to "configure" it gives the "Failed to connect to the database: Io exception: Connection reset The Connect Descriptor...." error. Can someone please help??? I would like to know....
1) under the monitor user name is says "dbsnmp" so do I have to create a dbsnmp user on the sql database side?
2) do I keep the same port number (1521) or do I put what the sql server db is listening on (1433)?????? - for the configuration in OEM
3) If i go to the "host" under "targets" it shows that the agent is "up" but the database instance is "down and the listener is "up.
Listening Endpoints Summary...
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=FSPROLOG.portofsandiego.org)(PORT=1521)))
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(PIPENAME=\\.\pipe\EXTPROC0ipc)))
Services Summary...
Service "PLSExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "PLSExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "PMDBSQL" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "PMDBSQL", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully
Thanks in Advance,,

Welcome to the forums !
Not sure what this has to do with database upgrades (the topic of this forum), but pl confirm that you have followed all of the steps in MOS Doc 359413.1 (How To Download and Deploy Microsoft SQL Server Plug-in To Monitor SQL Server Targets From Grid Control )

OEM Grid Control taking a long time to load tablespace information

We use OEM Grid control to monitor many dev/tst/prd databases. OEM is taking a long time to load the tablespace page information on one of our RAC databases (only one all other dbs ok). I have tried going to 1 instance in the environment and it still takes a long time to load the information about all tablespaces in this database. OEM Path is
Cluster: crs > Cluster Database: sid > Database Instance: sid_instance1 > Tablespaces
This is a development environment and it is not a very busy database at this time. Anyone else encounter an issue like this with OEM?
Thanks in advance for any information

user12192488 wrote:
Purge your recyclebin. I had the same problem on one of our databases and realised that the recyclebin was very large. OEM uses the space from the recyclebin as well in order to load tablespace and datafile information.
SQL> purge dba_recycebin;
Worked for me.
Regards,Thanks,
It worked perfectly !
It used to take 4 minutes to view my tablespaces in OEM !!! Now I have sub second response time !
Still find it strange that the size of the recyclebin would have such an effect when viewing tablespace info in OEM. By the way it also sped up the viewing of datafiles in OEM.

OEM Grid Control V10.0.4.x... Can it manage the 10gR2 Environment

Hi,
Trying to decide whether to install and configure Grid Control using the latest 10GR1 version or what until OEM GC 10GR2.... any recommendations, suggestions....
thanks,
catharine

Hi,
my agent's version:
Agent Version : 10.1.0.3.0
OMS Version : 10.1.0.3.0
Protocol Version : 10.1.0.3.0
I'm monitoring one 10gR2-Database (SuSe Linux, SLES9) although unsupported by ORACLE - it works fine.
Best regards

OEM Grid Control 10g Deployment

Hi,
We are planning to deploy OEM Grid Control 10g (with Diagnostics and Performance Management packs) for management and monitoring of following targets:
Oracle Databases (9.2.x, 10.x) - 12
Oracle Application Servers 10g - 6
OEM documentation states that for smaller deployments (targets < 100); following h/w specs would be sufficient:
CPU: 1 (3GHz)
Memory: 4 GB (2GB for OMS, 2GB for OMR)
Disk Storage: 12 GB (2GB for OMS, 10GB for OMR)
I want to know:
i) Will that amount of disk storage will be sufficient?
ii) What would be the growth rate of OMR (Oracle Management Repository)?
iii) What other factors should be considered?
All suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Preet

Hi Preet,
We had a 200+ (now 700+) target install in a major Telco and at that time
the repository database size was just 25 GB. So 10 GB for the database
itself should be ok. However sounds like you are crunched for space.
Bear in mind you need space for the installation of the EM10g OMS home,
the Agent Home and the Database home. So I dont think 12 GB is enough
for you. Try it out in test.
Regards,
Porus.

How to install OEM Grid Control R2 on RHEL AS4 (AMD64/EM64T)

Hi all,
I was able to install the Oracle Application Server (Infrastructure and BI and Forms) successfully on the another machine with the same specs. The application I installed on the 64-bit machine is a 32-bit Oracle Application Server.
Now, I tried to install the OEM Grid Control R2 (another 32-bit Oracle Software) on an identical 64-bit machine but had no luck. Ran linux32 bash before trying the install.
I always get the error "error in invoking target 'dm_on ioracle' of makefile 'OH/db10g/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk".
Please help me/guide me in this install if it is at all possible.
Thanks and regards,
Mike

Did you read the installation docs?
Did you look up trying to do this on metalink before proceeding?

Error while installing OEM Grid Control

I am getting error while installing OEM Grid control (with existing database) at OMS Configuration. So, I cancelled the installation and deleted all databases and started the instal again. I am still getting an error at OMS configuration.
I am trying to read through the threads here to see if anyone has solved it. I see a lot of threads on this topic but not sure how you guys resolved it.
Can anyone help here.
In the oracle installer, I see the message : The c:\oraclehomes\agent10g\cfgtoollogs\configToolfailedCommands" script contains all commans that failed, were skipped or cancelled ....
--in this file, all I see is:
rem Copyright (C)1999, 2006 Oracle
oracle.sysman.emcp.agent.AgentPlugIn
How should I proceed
Thanks

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..

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

How to use OEM grid control to find any database not in archivelog mode?

Hello,
currently we have 130 databases, say, if I want to pick out any database currently NOT in archivelog mode, is there a quick way to find out ?
by using OEM grid control
or
some trick similar,
but really don't need to check each database manually.
thank you very much!

This query works in 12c - please run as SYSMAN.
It is based on undocumented assumptions though +( AND key_value = 'NOARCHIVELOG')+.
SELECT *
FROM SYSMAN.MGMT$GROUP_DERIVED_MEMBERSHIPS O ,
    SYSMAN.MGMT$TARGET T ,
    sysman.MGMT$AVAILABILITY_CURRENT st
WHERE
o.member_target_type     IN ('oracle_database', 'rac_database')
AND ( t.target_type           ='rac_database'
OR (t.target_type             ='oracle_database'
AND t.type_qualifier3        != 'RACINST'))
AND o. member_target_guid     = t.target_guid
AND t.target_guid             = st.target_guid
AND st.availability_status    = 'Target Up'
AND ( EXISTS
    (SELECT *
    FROM sysman.mgmt$metric_current i
    WHERE I.TARGET_GUID = O.MEMBER_TARGET_GUID
    AND metric_name     = 'archFull'
    AND Metric_Column   = 'archTotal'
    AND metric_label    = 'Archive Area'
    AND column_label    = 'Total Archive Area (KB)'
    AND key_value       = 'NOARCHIVELOG'
    ));Another way to achieve the goal is to push extended metrics (SELECT LOG_MODE FROM V$DATABASE) on each DB, and monitor the values they return to the repository. This is an example for a (slightly) different problem - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-the-new-oem-12c-metric-extensions-to-enforce-enterprise-wide-custom-policies .
OEM Repository has many other great uses as well - http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/oem-repository-a-second-look.doc , http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/iotzov_oem_repository.pdf

Error:Starting OEM Grid Control

Hi,
We have installed OEM Grid Control 11g on a Linux Suse 10 machine (which will act as a middleware/gateway machine to the database hosted on the remote machine.)
We have completed the Grid installation successfully after facing many issues related to repository.
Now we are trying to connect to the browser link, and are unable to connect it.
We have tried starting and stoping the OMS and agent severl times. but are getting the below errors:

opmnctl startall requires that ORACLE_INSTANCE be correctly set in your

Add WebLogic Domain to OEM Grid Control

On a host, say x, i have installed OEM grid Agent Version: 11.1.0.1.0. The host is listed on OEM grid control. On this host i have a weblogic domain version 10.3.3. Now i am trying to add this weblogic domain to OEM 11g grid control which is on a different host.
It gives the following error
Error: Failed to connect to agent x:3872
Failed to connect to agent x:3872. Reason: java.net.UnknownHostException: x.
Only an agent 11.1 or later can be used for finding targets.
How can i solve this?

bummer.. any response? I'm getting the same error now, and the documentation isn't all that clear gasp

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.

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.
Thanks

OEM Grid control 10g on Linux

Hello,
I have installed OEM grid control 10g and able to connect to the console via the sysman user id.
I am trying to configure email notification, but though I put all credentials properly I am not able to receive any emails.
I was looking at Oracle documentation and it says....
The SMTP server is the name of the mail server (for examplemail.acme.com).
For Linux, the SMTP server must be the local host name.Use the fully qualified host name (including domain
Does the smtp server need to on the localhost ? can't it work with a smtp server on a different host than the grid control box ?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
S.

The smtp service doesn't need to be on the host you installed grid control, Grid control can use any smtp server as long as it can reach it.

Gokhan

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:
