The database can reside either on the host where you are installing the product or on a remote host. Ensure that the existing, certified Oracle Database is not configured with Oracle Grid Infrastructure. This type of configuration is not supported. Optional If you are installing using Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Optional If you are installing using Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Note: For information about these patches and their availability for different platforms, see My Oracle Support note Ensure that the existing, certified Oracle Database has the Partitioning option enabled therefore, ensure that you install it into Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.

No additional partitioning license is required for the database that houses the Management Repository. To verify this, run the following SQL in the database:.

If it has, that is, if your existing database is configured with Database Control, then deconfigure it. To deconfigure Database Control for a standalone database, run the following command from the Oracle home of the database as the user who installed the database.

If the command hangs, then restart the database and rerun the command. To deconfigure Database Control for a Real Application Cluster RAC database, run the following command from the Oracle home of the database as the user who installed the database.

Note: If the deconfigure operation hangs, then refer to My Oracle Support note Drop the schema by running the following command from the Oracle home of the OMS. If you are dropping the schemas that belong to a 10g Release 2 After dropping the schema, manually delete the database files mgmt.

Ensure that you have correctly set the database initialization parameters for the existing, certified Oracle Database so that the Management Repository can be created. For information about setting the parameters, see Setting Database Initialization Parameters. Ensure that the fine-grained access control option is set to TRUE in the existing, certified Oracle Database so that the Management Repository can be created.

To verify this, run the following command:. To verify this, run the following query:. If the minimum space is less than MB, then set it to MB by running the following command:. If the result of the query is 0, then the tablespace is autoextensible. If the result it not 0, then refer to Oracle Database Administrator's Guide available in the following location to make the tablespace autoextensible.

Recommended Ensure that you turn on archive logging in the existing, certified Oracle Database for any environment where continuity of data is important.

Oracle also recommends that you keep the auto-extend feature enabled for the tablespace data files. Otherwise, the installation can fail on the product-specific prerequisite check page. IPv6 entries are supported in the file for fresh installations of 11g Release 1 However, they are not supported for upgrade from 10g Release 4 According to RFC , the following are the assumptions: A "name" Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet A-Z , digits , minus sign - , and period.

Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first character must be an alpha character. For Microsoft Windows only User must belong to the DBA group, and have permissions to perform the following: Act as part of the operating system, Create a token object, Log on as a batch job, and Adjust memory quotas for a process.

Ideally, the round trip network latency between the two should be less than 1 millisecond. If you have a firewall in your environment, then see the chapter on configuring Enterprise Manager for firewalls in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide available at:.

Oracle recommends that the host from where you are running the installer have a connection to the Internet so that the configuration information can be automatically collected and uploaded to My Oracle Support.

As one of the prerequisites, ensure that you set the initialization parameters as described in Table and Table for your existing, certified Oracle Database so that the Management Repository can be created.

For information on how you can set these initialization parameters, see My Oracle Support note Table Setting Fixed Initialization Parameters. Table Setting Variable Initialization Parameters. And after upgrading, reset it to the original value that existed before upgrading the product. For Microsoft Windows operating systems, run setup. In Microsoft Windows, if the path to the software download location contains a subdirectory name with two or more words and a space between each of the words, then ensure that the parent directory of such a subdirectory does not contain a file whose name matches with the first word of that subdirectory.

If you are planning to have multiple OMSes, then Oracle strongly recommends you to configure a shared file system loader so that a common location is maintained to store all the metric data files uploaded by the Management Agents.

If you configure the central directory now, then all subsequent additional OMS installations, which connect to the same Oracle Database, will automatically be mapped to this central directory. To configure a shared file system loader, invoke the installer using the following command. Ensure that the location you specify is accessible and writable by all the OMSes. If you do not want them to start automatically, then invoke the installer using the following command:.

To override this, invoke the installer using the following command and specify a unique custom WebLogic Domain name:. If you do not want to enable Oracle Configuration Manager now, go to Step 3. If the host from where you are running the installation wizard does not have a connection to the Internet, then specify only the e-mail address and leave the other fields blank.

After you complete the installation, manually collect the configuration information and upload it to My Oracle Support. On the Check for Updates screen, select one of the following sources from where the software updates can be automatically downloaded and installed while the installation of Enterprise Manager Grid Control is in progress. If you do not want to apply them now, then select Skip Software Updates. Select Download and install updates from My Oracle Support if you want the installer to connect to My Oracle Support and automatically download the updates from there.

If a connection from your network to the Internet requires you to connect through a proxy, then select Proxy Settings and provide the proxy connection details. To test the connection, click Test Connection. Recommended Select Install updates from a staging location if the software updates are already downloaded and available in an accessible location. You can either specify the location or click Browse to search the host and select the location.

Ensure that the location you specify or select leads to the Updates directory where the software updates are available. For information about the auto update feature and to know what patches are available in auto update, see My Oracle Support notes If you specified the My Oracle Support details in Step 4 , the installer connects to My Oracle Support and checks for new software updates.

Patch has a prerequisite of patch a PSU , which includes patch , so I have only applied patches and , which can be downloaded from My Oracle Support. The database patches include installation instructions, but to summarize, these commands should be run as the "oracle" user.

Grid Control 11g Release 1 no longer bundles the middleware components, so we must install the WebLogic Server before we can proceed with the Grid Control installation.

The installation is started with the following command, run as the "oracle" user. If a warning dialog appears, click the "Yes" button, followed by the "Next" button from the previous screen.

Although Oracle recommends you to investigate and correct the problems, if you are compelled to proceed without resolving them, then select Ignore to ignore the warnings and failures.

However, all package requirements must be met or fixed before proceeding any further. Otherwise, the installation might fail. If you have the supported releases, the installer automatically detects them and displays the absolute path to the middleware home where they are installed.

In this case, validate the middleware home. If the location is incorrect, then enter the path to the correct location. Ensure that the middleware home you select or enter is a middleware home that does not have any Oracle homes for Oracle Management Service and Oracle Management Agent. In this case, enter the absolute path to a directory where you want to have them installed. Ensure that the directory you enter does not contain any files or subdirectories. Enter an administrator password, which can be used as a common password for configuring the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

Enter the fully qualified name of the host where the existing database resides, the database's listener port and its service name or system ID SID , and the SYS user account's password.

If you are connecting to an Oracle RAC database, and if you have specified the virtual IP address of one of its nodes, then the installation wizard prompts you with a Connection String dialog and requests you to update the connection string with information about the other nodes that are part of the cluster.

Update the connection string and click OK. If you want to test the connection, click Test Connection. If you want to change the details, click Back repeatedly until you reach the screen where you want to make the changes.
