Overview

One of the 11G OCM Objectives is:

Install and configure EM Agent

I need to get the EM Agent installed on the PENRITH cluster and BANKSTOWN node before I can use OEM to set up Data Guard.

Procedure

Set Up Agent Deploy Application

I used the procedure in Set Up Agent Deploy Application .

Using the Agent Deploy Application

From the OEM console, I accessed New Agent Installation: Installation Details via:

  • Deployments Tab
    • Install Agent
      • Fresh Install

I changed the following parameters:

Parameter Name Old Value New Value Reason for Change
Version 10.2.0.5.0 10.2.0.1.0 There is no staged software for the 10.2.0.5.0 agent available (despite the comment).
Provide Host List bankstown Required parameter
username oracle Required parameter
Password ******** Required parameter
Confirm Password ******** Required parameter
Run root.sh Checked Unchecked sudo is not enabled for ssh — requires a tty
Installation Base Directory /u01/app/oracle Required parameter

If Run root.sh is left checked, the following error is displayed:

  1. Provide Host List - User not enabled for sudo on one or more of the remote nodes. : : bankstown
  2. Either the user does not have root access on the remote nodes or the password supplied is incorrect

Prerequisite Check Failed

I get the message: The system check of OS Version, GLIBC, and packages check has failed. The reasons are:

Complete!

Second Attempt

This time, I click Continue at the prequisite check failure and get the following error message:


The /ap_logs/2012-01-09_16-19-12-PM/logs/bankstown/install.log shows the following error: 

The jar to be used=
Can't find the jar utility. Add jar to your PATH and try again.

Fix BASH Profile

I update ~/.bash_profile on BANKSTOWN for the oracle user with the following lines: 

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/db_2
export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk

PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin

And I click on Retry .

Third Attempt

The third attempt fails. The error message in /ap_logs/2012-01-09_16-19-12-PM/logs/bankstown/install.log is the same as for the second attempt.

This time, I update ~/.bashrc with the following lines: 

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/db_2
export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

And ~/.bash_profile has the first three (3) exports removed and the PATH is restored as follows: 

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

And I click on Retry yet again.

Fourth Attempt

And this was successful.

Except the agent cannot upload to the OMS.

Secure the Agent

The firewall has to be turned off: 

service iptables off
chkconfig --level 5 iptables off

To fix the problem with the agent, I had to secure it as per the procedure in Grid Control (14) (OCM 10G installation).
