The document discusses installing Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c. It covers the architecture, concepts, installation types, requirements, and process. The process involves installing the Oracle database software, creating a database, and then installing Enterprise Manager. It also discusses alternatives for installation like using Oracle VM templates or configuration management tools like Puppet and Chef.

Concepts
• Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Console
– The user interface you see after you install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
• Oracle Management Service (OMS)
– Orchestrates with the Management Agents and the Plug-Ins to discover targets
• Oracle Management Repository (Management Repository)
– Storage location where all the information gets stored
• Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent)
– The Management Agent works in conjunction with the plug-ins to monitor the targets running on that managed host.
• Plug-Ins
– Plug-Ins are pluggable entities that offer special management capabilities customized to suit specific target types

Fast track
• oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall RPM
– (formerly known as oracle-validated)
• The pre-install package is available for x86_64 only. Specifically, the package:
– Causes the download and installation of various software packages and specific versions needed for database
installation, with package dependencies resolved via yum
– Creates the user oracle and the groups oinstall and dba, which are the defaults used during database installation
– Modifies kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf to change settings for shared memory, semaphores, the maximum
number of file descriptors, and so on
– Sets hard and soft shell resource limits in /etc/security/limits.conf, such as the number of open files, the number of
processes, and stack size to the minimum required based on the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Server installation
requirements
• +glibc-devel.i686, + Yum update

Database templates
• If you have 11.2.0.3 database, you can use templates
• One template for each advanced option
• http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/enterprise-
manager/downloads/db-templates-1959276.html
• Extract ZIP to
$<DB_HOME>/assistants/dbca/templates

What then ?
• Create start/stop scripts
• Plan backup
• Patching (will be covered later)
• Configuration (will be covered later)
• Start using EM

Fast Track II - OVM
• Oracle VM Template
Alternatives

20. sysco.no
Fast Track II - OVM
• Pro
– Simple deploy
– Same virtualization as other servers
• Con
– If problems with platform, also EM will hurt
Alternatives

21. sysco.no
Fast Track III
• Use provisioning tool
• Use silent install type (response files)
• 2 among the alternatives: Puppet, Chef
• Can provision SW + Patches
• Easy to upgrade when new version is available
