What is Hardware/O.S. Recommendations for Grid Control server

I understand both Linux and Window servers are supported for Grid Control Installation.
However, since we are running Exadata database and cells, what would be your recommendation when we choose which O.S. we should run G.C. on?
Since the entire Exadata environment is running Linux, so, personally I'd prefer to use Linux server. But, what is your preference, and please detail your reasons.
Thank you!

Grid Control (OEMGC 11g) for Windows is only available (certified) for 32 bit Windows. So you can run into memory limitations, dependeing on the number of agents/targets you will be monitoring. Second you have to install Cygwin on your Windows server if you want (or need) to be able to SSH to a Linux/Unix server. Installing Cygwin is very problematic to say the least.
If you would use OEMCC (12c), and I don't know why you wouldn't, you can install the 64 bit version for Windows however you still have to install Cygwin.
So in your case I would go for the Linux version.

What internet security do you recommend for apple products

What Internet security do you recommend for apple products

None. The best security is to backup your data frequently, and using WPA2 encryption on wireless routers. Otherwise basic good practices include:
1. Do not download sites that suggest installing cleanup software.
2. Do not do things that might slow your Mac down:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6921
3. Do not install updates except directly from reputable vendors websites, and the Apple Mac Store.
4. Do not follow instructions of popup windows or banner ads.
5. Do not use peer2peer or torrent software.
6. Do not open .scpt, .sct, .app attachments.
7. If you use Windows on your Mac, the same security rules for Windows on a non-Apple machine apply as an Apple machine.

A possible bug for Grid control?

Hi, Dear all,
We installed Grid control 10.2.0.1 on Redhat Linux R3 with existing database(10.2.0.4).
During the installation, we succeeded for repository creating but failed at OMS Configuration.
When I start oms in cmd line, I got the following error: the repository database can not be connected.
The description for the environment:
1. OMS server and repository database are installed on the same server, on which HA is used.
2. There are two floating IP on this machine,
IP | server name | used for |
xx.xx.xx.124 | cnsz030318 | oms server |
xx.xx.xx.80 | oem.db.paci.com.cn | repository database |
3.When we installed the oms with OUI, the repository server we input is oem.db.paci.com.cn
The problem we found:
During the installation, the repository was created successfully. But it failed at OMS configuration.
The error we got: the repository database can not be connected.
there are two lines in emoms.properities which seems strange:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepServer=oem.db.paic.com.cn
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn)(PORT\=1535)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SID\=oem10g)))
The emdRepServer is what we have input on OUI:oem.db.paic.com.cn. But for the connectDescriptor, it is changed to "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn", which does not exist at all!.
Now, we have worked around this problem by adding "cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn" in the /etc/hosts.
But my question is, why the connectDescriptor set the HOST\ as cnsz030318.db.paic.com.cn? Why does it not use the name we input in OUI (oem.db.paic.com.cn)?
Maybe it is a bug for Grid control?

Did you install with "Use existing database" or "Use new database"?
I recommend that you use fully qualified domain names only!

Database limits for Grid control repository?

Document "Oracle® Database Licensing Information / 10g Release 2 (10.2)" [Part Number B14199-10] discusses the restricted use license of database for grid control repository and rman repository use.
nfrastructure Repository Databases A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Recovery Manager (RMAN) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the Oracle databases managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This repository database may also be used for the Oracle Enterprise Grid Control repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (OEM Grid Control) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the targets (databases, applications, and so forth) managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This database may also be used for the RMAN repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
There is no discussion of licensing requirements for options of the database (RAC, partitioning, etc) when the database stays within these repository use restrictions. Therefore it is unclear whether the Grid Control can be configured to provide appropriate monitoring without additional licenses.

This is the reply I received from release
management:
If they have deployed an EE edition of the database
as an OEM repository, and then want to protect that
with RAC or Data Guard, or make more Secure with ASO
or Database Vault, or indeed get any of the
additional benefits any of the options provide, then
they will need to license the option.
Let me know if that is still not clear, and I'll go
back again.Thanks.
There is a minor inconsistency in their response ... they say "if deployed on EE". However, as far as I know OEM repository required VPD, which is available only on Enterprise Edition (see http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10953/pre-installation_req.htm#CHDGIEAD)
However, it is quite clear that 'they' are telling us that the RAC option is not inherent in the "Special Use Licensing" as described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ .
The implication (not necessarily a topic for this forum) is that the OEM is not guaranteed to be able to provide basic monitoring and reporting functionality without additional license fees to make OEM more highly available than the targets being monitored.
It would be nice to have the information about which Oracle products (database and app server) have included licenses with a basic Grid Control install and which require additional licenses as part of Chapter 1 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b40010/toc.htm (That document goes into excruciating detail about the extra packs, but ignores the basics.)
For that matter, since OEM Grid Control can not be purchased, it would be nice to have a list of products that provide license to install Grid Control, again in Chapter 1 of the Grid Control Licensing document listed above.
I appreciate your time in having dug into this.

Problem Load Balancing connections for Grid Control Console on port 80!

I have two OMS and I'm balancing connections for Grid Control Console using a Software Load Balancer according with "Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Configuration". I have success where the load balancer is listening on port different to 80. When I configure Load Balancer to listen on port 80(architecture requirement) and distribute load between the two OMS(Port 7779), when login to Enterprise Manager Console the URL on the web browser changes to the port configured for HTTP server (port 7780) wich produces an "unable to connect" error message; and this behaviour also happends in some of the internal links of Grid Control Console too. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

GRID Control Server (OMS) - what services are required?

What services are required (and what is the startup order) on the Windows 2003 GRID Control Server (OMS). The target database is 10g on Solaris.

Hi.
I assume that you have three folders in the oms installation folder, called oms, agent and db.
You should first start the grid database on the 2003 server along with the listener from the db folder.
Than you should install the application server processes by running:
opmnctl startall from the oms\opmn\bin - folder.
Than you should start the agent by runnint agent\bin\emctl start agent
You should further start the agent on the Solaris node and verify the upload to oms:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start agent
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl status agent
Good luck

FAQ: What system hardware should I use for Photoshop?

We all know we can find the Minimum System Requirements on the side of any software box. For the most recent version of Photoshop you can check the Tech Specs. If you'd like info on the older versions, you can check here.
What does it mean if your computer meets the Minimum System Requirments? Well, you'll be able to install and launch the software without an error. Not meeting some of the minimum requirements could result in a hard or soft stop when installing. A hard stop prevents the installation from continuing because critical requirements are not met. A soft stop is a warning that you may encounter issues if you continue, but you can make that judgement on your own.
But meeting the minimum requirements isn't necessarily give you a happy experience with Photoshop, especially if you work with large file normally. We normally don't make recomendations on the type of hardware you use on your system. We've changed our minds. Here is a list of recommendations for Good, Better, and the Best systems:
System and hardware recommendations: Beyond the minimum

Hello Brinmr,
i do not hava license for matlab so i can not test it.
On this page you found the supported NI hardware and here is the information the 6008 can be
used in session mode Supported Hardware - National Instruments- NI-DAQmx
and if i understand the function startForeground correct is this a session mode function.
You can made some tests with a simulated 6321 or 6251, but if this also not works then you should contact
the mathworks to ask them how you should implement your functions with mathlab.

Where are configure files for Grid Control components?

I installed Grid Control 11g on Redhat 5.2, the repository database is Oracle 11.2.0.2 on the same box. It worked after installation, but after some weeks, I restart oms and got error [oracle@cchbi bin]$ ./emctl start oms

Oracle Management Server is not functioning because of the following reason:
Connection to the repository failed. Verify that the repository connection information provided is correct.Tried to google and search the forum, the message is not very selective and got few relevant resut.
Hope your exterts can point me to the configure file where I can verify the connetion to repository. Alos some one would share with me the knowledge on the following topics
1) What are the processes/components of Grid Control ? I am aware of oms, opmn, and a process run as /u01/app/midware/oms11g/ccr/bin/nmz -cron –silent. ANy others? What are their functions?
2) Location of configure files, log files and binary executables of this processes/components.
Many thnaks.

Hi,
to check if the OMS is running properly execute the command "emctl status oms" ($OMS_HOME/bin).
The result should be "Oracle Management Server is up".
To check which components are currently running execute the command "opmnctl status" ($OMS_HOME/opmn/bin).
The result should be something like:
Processes in Instance: EnterpriseManager0.<host
-----------------------------------------------------------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
-----------------------------------------------------------+---------
DSA | DSA | N/A | Down
LogLoader | logloaderd | N/A | Down
HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | 26470 | Alive
dcm-daemon | dcm-daemon | 26301 | Alive
OC4J | home | 1953 | Alive
OC4J | OC4J_EMPROV | 1954 | Alive
OC4J | OC4J_EM | 26523 | Alive
WebCache | WebCache | 27085 | Alive
WebCache | WebCacheAdmin | 27086 | Alive
Executing this command will answer your question whioch components need/should be up when using OEM/GC.
You will find some logfiles of the OMS under $OMS_HOME/sysman/log (e.g. emoms.trc, emoms.log). Please check logfile OC4J~OC4J_EM~default_island~1 under $OMS_HOME/opmn/logs as well...
To start the OMS you might try the command "opmnctl startall"...
