Using grid control to define wirtual guests

Hi experts.
i am using the new 11g grid control to configure virtual machines.
i look at the storage field but see only system disks.
i configured several other disks and i see them from machine with fdisk
but cannnot see them from grid control GUI form
what actions should i do in order to see them from GUI grid also ?

Data Guard Summary problem using Grid Control.

I setup data guard using Grid Control and after completion, the console of the standby database shows: "Unable to determine Data Guard information." under the Data Guard Summary section. The primary database is not showing the standby. I'm using Red Hat Linux Server 5.7 (64bit) and Oracle 10.2.0.5. This is a standalone (no RAC or ASM involved). When I run show configuration, the following comes up:
DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION;
Configuration
Name: PRODDB_ghph@ora01
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
ghph - Primary database
gsbh - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "PRODDB_ghph@ora01":
SUCCESS
I tried searching online and metalink but nothing. Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated. TIA

Can you confirm that only archive sequence * 58673* is missing or any more? If you have less number of archives are missing then see how the parameters you configured. like FAL_SERVER, LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n so on.
Check below command and see any errors with remote destinations

If the archives are missing so many and you do not have backup, then certainly you have to choose incremental roll forward to synchronize the primary database, then only you can see the configuration status of Broker as valid. You can refer this article to perform incremental roll forward http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/

Performance reports using Grid Control

Hello!
Can we create and schedule database performance reports using oracle 10g grid control?
Thanks.

Hi
Yeah its possible to generate the performance reports using Grid Control.
Ex:
Oracle Enterprise Manager GRID Server contains built in reports to support Database Administrators to generate sightly reports.
First Thing is to click to "Reports" tab on the top, right hand side of the GRID Management Console (figure_grid_management_console). This page is where all the predefined and custom reports can be find. Now click on the "Create" Button on top of the page to create a new custom report. "Create Report Definition" page comes to the screen. There are four tabs for the definition of the report.

Can we schedule Loader Jobs (SQL Loader) using Grid Control ?

Can we schedule SQL Loaders jobs/process using Grid Control for 11g database ?
Or
Is it good to schedule it as external jobs using DBMS_SCHEDULER ?
OS is LINUX. Database is 11g R1 Grid Control will be the latest, I believe 10gR3.
Any other suggestions... (I know it can be done using OS utilities like cron and others but that is not an option for now.)
Thanks in advance.

Try this
-> Create a shell script to execute sqlldr
-> On Grid, create an "OS COMMAND" job and pass this script as parameters. You'll have options to schedule this job.
Let us know how it works.

Remove node using Grid Control

Hi
Can you post some steps removing node from 10gR2 CRS using Grid Control
Have 4 node cluster, and wants to impliment steps this way.
1) First remove instance(s) on node to remove by going "CLUSTER DATABASE(S)"
select SERVER
under "Change Database" select "delete instance" go from there...
2) go CRS page and choose "Monitoring Configuration" and choose and update
I have manual steps.. but wants to try with GC...
Any information is helpful
Thanks,
Krishna.

I have never gotten Grid Control and database control working for a single database. I have tried. Oracle dbca gives you a choice for Grid Control or database control but not both.
Right, because intuitively it doesn't make much sense (but, as i mentioned, my situation is a bit out of the norm).
But, would there be some sort of error message returned if you did go in and manually start EM? Have you tried to go in and manually start up the dbconsole when GRID control was already running?
I checked the port.ini file and it showed this:
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (SAIN) = 5500
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (SAIN) = 1831
So it's recognized in that file. It seems odd that DBCA would bother to include that if you select instead Grid Control.
Regarding the additional overhead of running both, would it be a big deal to simply turn EM on when I want to use it, then to turn it off so as to eliminate the additional overhead??

Create data guard using grid control 10gR3?

Has anyone been able to create a data guard of 10g R2 (10.2.0.3 dbs) using Grid Control 10gR3?
My creation stopped on cloning the standby db step. And i had to finish it manually but i'm just wondering if it has worked for anyone else?

One step further. I enabled debug tracing for the agent and noticed that the creation of the windows service causes an error.

Physical database creation using Grid Control fail

I have tried several times to create a physical standby using Grid Control. Everytime, the job failed at the step "DBClone -> Destination Preparation". The log file indicated the following error message:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized.
When I check the spfile, I find that an extra word "PuTTY" was inserted into the spfile as shown in the following spfile, therefore, the instance cannot be started. In addition, everytime when issuing the command "cat spfilermslag.ora", the word "PuTTY" will automatically appear in the command line after the "cat spfilermslag.ora" command.
$ cat spfilermslag.ora

You might just have to do it the old fashioned way. At least it will be a good learning experience.

Unable to connect to Database using Grid Control

Hi,
I am attempting to connect to my Oracle Linux Machine which has 2 databases FROM my 10g Grid control which is on a Windows XP 32 bit.
Although I can login to the actual linux box with the host and database credentials ; I cant use the same to login to the database using Grid control.
I have tried testing the connection using Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Host ; but its just not recognizing the credentials as correct.
When I attempt to startup the database using the host and DB credentials : ERROR MESSAGE : <servername> : <servername> comes up.
My agent on linux box is up. My Listener is running fine.
On my Grid control .. i have the DB, OMS, and Agent running as well.
Any inputs on this issue, I'd appreciate very much.

Thanks for your reply.
Under Hosts on the Main Grid Console Home Page >> "server3.sam" Status shows UP. This server houses my 2 databases. But when I click on Databases >> it shows Instance DOWN.
Status
Failed
Details Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
I have verified that my lsnrctl status is good on the linux box. My target agent is up and running on it as well.
So I try to start the STARTUP button >> I enter the HOST Credentials of the Linux box and the Database credentials which I use "SYS" (in upper case - just in case that mattered) and choose SYSDBA ;
Error Message
server3.sam: server3.sam
I created a new dba account and try to login ... dont seem to work ; I tried using SYSTEM account and even altering my sys and system passwords .. all turn out negative.
And the ANSWER to your question ---> Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Database Instance >> corresponding to my database name ; I enter my sysdba username / password AND the host username / password of my Linux box >> TEST >> which also turns out negative.
This entry is auto filled in since I "checked" the box "Save as Preferred Credential"; initially when I tried to start the DB using the STARTUP button.
By the way, my Win XP doesnt really have a password set under User accounts.
Any suggestions please ?

Has anyone used Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Has anyone used Grid Control to implement DataGuard?

Hi,
You are right, without the B&K software there is not much I can load. However this is usefull information. The VIs that you have are a wraper for the calls to the ActiveX pulse control. If those VIs do not provide the functionality for the Intensity Module there are 2 options:
+The developer did not develop VIs for the module
+The Pulse ActiveX control does not exposes the functionality of the Intensity Module.
To find this out, you can create a new VI that opens a reference to the Pulse ActiveX object and start looking for some property that gives you a reference to the Sound Intensity Module, or a a function that allows you to run any methods from the module. There are a bunch of examples that ship with LabVIEW on calling Ac
tiveX modules.
You can also try to get the documentation for the ActiveX interface for Pulse to find out whether the Module is exported or not.
There is also the option to use Native LabVIEW functions for the Sound Intensuty measurements; the Sound and Vibration Toolset can take sound intensity measurements that are compliant with industry standards.
Let me know how this goes.

Juan Carlos

Trying to use grid control to get historic file system information

Hi.
I need to get the file system historical information for a year. I need to be able to say how in the past year such and such a file system has increased in space etc.
I am using OEM Grid Control. I have been trying to find this information this way:
Home/Local File Systems/click on specific file system and then View Data for one year.
Trouble is, this bview is more visual than statistical. I need hard figures!
Is this the right way? Should I try another approach? This must be a common request?
Oracle 10.2.0
DA
Thank you.

Querying the tables/views inside OEM Grid Control (GC) Repository - the database - may help. By default, GC stores information into tables owned by SYSMAN and aggregates the information on a pre-defined schedule, like first week, first month, first year, etc depends on the definition. So you might not find some details of the historical information.
Try mgmt$metric_daily to get the numbers. You would need target_guid from mgmt$target to pinpoint the server.
Not sure 100% all details you are looking for, which will determine the metrics to query. But anyway here is a simple example. Hope it helps. The Oracle documentation has more details.
SELECT metric_name,metric_column,
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(rollup_timestamp,'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS month_timestamp,
maximum value
FROM mgmt$metric_daily
WHERE target_guid='......'
AND metric_label = 'Storage Summary'
AND metric_column = 'local_fs_used'

Switchover in a data guard environment using Grid Control 10.2.0.3

I've tested switchover in a data guard environment using Data Guard Broker in Grid Control.
However, at times, i receive the message "RemoteOperationException: failed to establish input streaming thread". It looks like it has problems connecting to the remote node using the host credentials supplied. I know the credentials are ok because this worked before. If i test preferred credentials, it's ok too..
The workaround has been to restart the database and this seems to work.
Has anyone experienced this?

How to create oracle services using grid control

Hi All,
I have oracle grid control account my grid control version is 10.2.0.4.0.Can any one please let me know the tab from which I can create Oracle services.
I know we can create oracle services using DBCA also.When I'm trying to do that way it is giving below error.
dbca
DISPLAY not set.
Set DISPLAY environment variable, then re-run.
How to set DISPLAY environment variable.
Thanks,
Rafi.

Normally, you set DISPLAY to an IP address with the suffix : and 0.0: the IP address must match a machine able to display X11 windows.
Example with Linux bash shell:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0What is your OS version ? What is your shell (bash, ksh, sh, csh) ? How do you connect to the UNIX host ?

Streams configuration using grid control 10.2

can we configure streams thru grid control 10.2 ? Please let me know the step by step streams configuration.
Thanks.

Grid Control has a wizard that helps configure table, schema, or full database replication. You can use the wizard to generate a script to do the configuration, ask well. There are some online resources available that cover the replication wizard and monitoring Streams in general with EM.
For example, there is an annotated presentation ( Grid Control 10.2.0.5: Streams Management ) that describes the EM Streams pages and how to use them. Link at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10703/tdpii_repcont.htm
There is also an Oracle By Example (OBE) demonstrating 11.2 DBControl Streams management that walks through the replication wizard and other configuration and monitoring. Link at: http://http//www.oracle.com/technology/obe/demos/11gr2/streams11_2/streams_and_em/streams_and_em_viewlet_swf.html
The 11.2 2Day+ Data Replication and Integration book(Chapter 4) also includes a walk-through of the 11.2 DBControl Streams pages. Link at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10703/tdpii_repcont.htm#BABEFAFI

Scheduling an Export Job Using Grid Control

Hi,
I got a requirement to schedule export jobs in Oracle Grid Control 10.2.0.5 (Windows). Is this possible and have any one done this? If so please share the steps. The idea is to get alerts if the job fails.
Thanks.
GB

Here is the easy steps (There might be slight differences as I am posting it based on 11g screen)
1. On grid control console, click on the relevant database
2. click on 'Data Movement' tab
3. Click on 'Export to Export Files'
4. chose the Export type (Database / Schema / Tables/ Tablespace)
5. Provide Host credentials (OS username and Password) and click on 'Continue'. You will get a new screen called 'Export: Options'
6. Click the checkbox called 'Generate Log File' and select the Directory object where you wants to create the dump files. (You need to create a directory object in database, if you don't have one)
7. Chose the contents option as you required, and click '*Next*'. You will get a new page called 'Export: Files'
8. Select the directory object from the drop-down box and provide a name format for file name, and click 'Next'
9. Here you provide the Job name and description, and chose repeat options (daily, weekly etc), and click 'Next'
10. You will get a summary screen called 'Export: Schedule'. review your job details and click on 'Submit'.
This is the solution, and it works well.
