2) Installation of Oracle Database (Repository Database): You can install one of

the certified databases: 11.2.0.3, 11.2.0.2, 11.2.0.1, 11.1.0.7 and 10.2.0.5.

Previous versions of the database can be used to hold the repository, but anything
earlier than 11.2.0.2 will require additional patches.

Do not forget to apply the latest PSU to the database. It is recommended that you
do not use “memory_target” parameter with Enterprise Manager. Run the following
commands and bounce the database:

ALTER SYSTEM SET pga_aggregate_target=1G SCOPE=SPFILE;

ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_pool_size=600M SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET job_queue_processes=20 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_buffer=10485760 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET processes=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET session_cached_cursors=200 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET sga_target=2G SCOPE=SPFILE;

EXEC dbms_auto_task_admin.disable('auto optimizer stats collection',null,null);

These are minimum values, you can set higher values according to your system
resources. It’s also recommend to have at least 3 redo log groups sized 300M.
Luckily, the installer will warn you about all these settings.

Make sure that no Environmental variable related with Oracle (such as ORACLE_HOME)
are set prior to installation. It’s also recommend to set umask to 022.

Make a directory to hold the Middleware installation.

$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/Middleware

./runInstaller

If you wish to receive support information, enter the required details, or uncheck
the security updates checkbox and click the "Next" button. Click the "Yes" button
the subsequent warning dialog.
If you wish to check for updates, enter the required details, or check the "Skip"
option and click the "Next" button.

If you have performed the prerequisites as described, the installation on OL5.7

should pass all prerequisite checks. On OL6.1 there is one failure due to the
presence of "glibc-devel.i686", rather than the
expected "glibc-devel.i386". This can be ignored by pressing the "Ignore" button,
followed by the "Next" button.

Select the "Create a new Enterprise Manager System" and "Simple" options, enter the
middleware home ("/u01/app/oracle/Middleware") and click the "Next" button.

Enter the administrator password and database repository details, then click the
"Next" button.

On the first warning dialog, click the "Yes" button to disable the stats gathering
job.

Check the additional warnings, then click the "OK" button to continue.

If you are happy with the review information, click the "Install" button.

Wait while the installation and configuration take place.

When prompted, run the root scripts, then click the "OK" button.

Make note of the URLs, then click the "Close" button to exit the installer. A copy
of this information is available in the
"/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms/install/setupinfo.txt" file.

The login screen is available from a browser using the URL provided in the previous

download schedule and click the "Select" button. Click the "OK" button on the
confirmation dialog.

Click the refresh button on the top-right of the screen until the download is
complete and the status changes to "Downloaded".

Highlight the newly downloaded software and click the "Apply" button, followed
by the "OK" button on the two following message dialogs.

When the status changes to "Applied", the agent software is ready for
installation on a target.

Install an Agent on a Target Host

Navigate to the "Add Targets Manually" screen using the menu at the top-right
of the screen (Setup > Add Target > Add Targets Manually).

Accept the "Add Host Targets" option by clicking the "Add Host..." button.

Click the "Add +" button.

Enter the host and platform, then click the "Next" button.

Enter the installation details and click the "Next" button.

Installation Base Directory : /u01/app/oracle/agent12c

Instance Directory : /u01/app/oracle/agent12c/agent_inst (default)
Named Credential : (click the "+" button and add the credentials of the
"oracle" user)
Privileged Delegation Setting: (leave blank)
Port : 3872

If you are installing the agent on a HP Service Guard package, remember to set
the "Additional Parameters" to point at the package-specific inventory location and
override the machine name with the package name. For example.

INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u07/app/oraInventory ORACLE_HOSTNAME=my-package.example.com

Check the information on the review screen and click the "Deploy Agent" button.

Wait while the installation takes place. The "Add Host Status" page refreshes
every 30 seconds.

When the installation completes, run the specified "root.sh" script and click
the "Done" button.

The host will now be visible on the "Targets > Hosts" screen.
Discover Targets on Host

Navigate to the "Add Targets Manually" screen using the menu at the top-right
of the screen (Setup > Add Target > Add Targets Manually).

Select the "Add Non-Host Targets Using Guided Process (Also Adds Related
Targets)" option, select the target types to be discovered (eg. Oracle Database,
Listener and Automatic Storage Manager) and click the
"Add Using guided Discovery..." button.

Enter the host name and click the "Continue" button.

Click the "Configure" icon for any discovered targets and enter the required
details. If you are using HP Service Guard, remember to only select and configure
targets belonging to the package. By default, the agent will
discover all targets on the physical machine.

When all the configuration steps are complete, click the "Finish" button,
followed by the "Save" button, then finally the "OK" button.

The targets will now be listed on the relevant target screen (Targets >
Databases).

Add Administrator Users

Navigate to the "Administrators" screen using the menu at the top-right of the
screen (Setup > Security > Administrators).

Click the "Create" button.

Enter the username/password details and check the "Super Administrator"

checkbox, then click the "Review" button.

Click the "Finish" button.

Notifications

Setup and maintenance of notifications has changed considerably in Cloud Control

12c compared to previous versions of Grid Control. There are several areas to
consider when configuring and diagnosing notification issues.

Make sure the SMTP server is registered in the "Setup > Notifications >
Notification Methods" screen.

Check the "Setup > Incidents > Incident Rules" screen. Make sure the relevant
incident rules are enabled. Create any new rules you need.

Subscribe to any rules you want to be notified about. To do this, highlight the
rule, then do "Actions > Email > Subscribe Me".

Make sure your email is setup in the "Enterprise Manager Password & Email"
screen, from the menu below your username on the top right of the screen.

Plugin Patches

The following is an overview of the process for applying the 12.1.0.7 plugin patch
to Cloud Control 12c (12.1.0.4).

Backup up everything! Database and file system.

Setup > Extensibility > Self Update

Download the latest versions of the plugins. The minimum you can really get
away with is "Oracle Database 12.1.0.7", "Oracle Cloud Framework 12.1.0.2" and
"Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.1.0.7". The Cloud Framework plugin is a
dependency for the FWM plugin. Obviously, grab the extra plugins if you need
them.

Setup > Extensibility > Plugins

Do a "Deploy On > Management Server" for the plugins you’ve downloaded. These
require OMS downtime, so you will be monitoring progress using "./emctl status oms
-details" from the "$OMS_HOME/bin" directory.

Wait until it is all running again.

Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the DB and FMW plugins on just the
cloud control server. I wanted to know it was all fine on this server before
pushing out the updates to the agents on the monitored hosts.

Convince yourself nothing weird is happening.

Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the DB plugin on any monitored database
severs. Where possible I did Dev environments in one pass. Test environments in a
second pass, then Prod environments.

Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the FMW plugin on any monitored
WebLogic severs. Once again, Dev, Test, Prod.

=============================================================================
Startup Shutdown
==========================================================================
Startup/Shutdown

Cloud Control is set to auto-start using the "gcstartup" service. The

"/etc/oragchomelist" file contains the items that will be started by the system.

/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms

/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/agent/core/12.1.0.1.0:/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/agent/
agent_inst

On a simple installation the default auto-start will cause a problem as Cloud

Control will attempt to start before the database has started. The service can be
disabled by commenting out (using #)
all the contents of the "/etc/oragchomelist" file to prevent the auto-start and use
start/stop scripts described below.

If the start/stop needs to be automated, you can do it in the usual way using Linux
service that calls your start/stop scripts that include the database management.
