Install Oracle Install Grid Control 11gR1 on Vmware with Windows 7 64-bit as host OS and Linux as guest(Part 14 of series, Install Grid Control 11gR1)

Unto the devotee, the Naam is an article of daily use. The minds of the humble Saints are at peace. The Name of the Lord is the Support of His servants. By the Name of the Lord, millions have been saved. The Saints chant the Praises of the Lord, day and night. Har, Har — the Lord’s Name — the Holy use it as their healing medicine. The Lord’s Name is the treasure of the Lord’s servant. The Supreme Lord God has blessed His humble servant with this gift. Mind and body are imbued with
ecstasy in the Love of the One Lord. O Nanak, careful and discerning understanding is the way of the Lord’s humble servant.

You may have the following error in configuration, in logs you may have:

INFO: oracle.sysman.top.oms:Fetcing ports from teh static ports file: /u01/app/oracle/product/Middleware/.gcinstall_temp/staticports.ini

HERE IS THE FIX ADD THESE PARAMETERS AND CLICK ON RETRY IT WILL SUCCEED THE OMS CONFIGURATION

Further check of omsca code unveiled use of WebLogic configuration script
/u01/app/oracle/product/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/commEnv.sh
where there was code block responsible for JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VENDOR variables.

I simply put values of the bold variables for the variables to the script:
#JAVA_USE_64BIT, true if JVM uses 64 bit operations

JAVA_USE_64BIT=true

JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_18"

JAVA_VENDOR="Sun"

# Reset JAVA_HOME, JAVA_VENDOR and PRODUCTION_MODE unless JAVA_HOME

# and JAVA_VENDOR are pre-defined.

if [ -z "${JAVA_HOME}" -o -z "${JAVA_VENDOR}" ]; then

# Set up JAVA HOME

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64"

# Set up JAVA VENDOR, possible values are

#Oracle, HP, IBM, Sun ...

JAVA_VENDOR=Sun

# PRODUCTION_MODE, default to the development mode

PRODUCTION_MODE=""

fi

-------------------------------------------
After you download the Grid Control from the Oracle's Website, extract all the part in one directory, otherwise you will get an error:

"OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Linux available for Installation in this staging area."

Now, execute the installer from the directory where you extracted all the files as:

cd /home/oracle/software/grid_11gr1
./runInstaller

Unclick "I wish receive security updates via My Oracle Support"




Click "Yes"





Make sure "Skip software Updates" and click next.



Make sure "Install a new Enterprise Manager system" and click next.



Next screen I forgot to capture but you will see all prereqisite as success and click next.

and on the following screen click next.




in the following screen put in the password.




In the following screen , enter db_hostname as 'gc', port as '1521', service/SID as 'gc' and sys password of the database and click next.



Enter the password that you would like for sysman schema.









Enter the password for securing the targets and uncheck both the options if you want.




Click next.


Click Install and you will see install will finish successfully.


















Run the following root.sh as root.




Output of script root.sh is (accept all defaults):

[root@gc ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/oms11g/allroot.sh

Starting to execute allroot.sh .........

[root@gc ~]#

Now you will see the post install steps will also finish successfully as per following screen shots.

Now open ports of your router and connect to the grid control.

I would recommend to apply at least the minimum patches that oracle recommends on top of this install i.e. 9659446 and 9676134

Thats it !



Stopping and starting grid control 11gR1

Start Grid Control 11gR1 as:


1. Start database
. oraenv
gc
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
exit

2. Start listener
lsnrctl start

3 Start OMS

The following command will start the entire oms stack. This command is smart enough to find what is required to start the entire stack e.g. if wls is not up it will start it up and same with other componets.

. oarenv
oms11g
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start oms

4. Start agent:
. oraenv
agent11g
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start agent




Output is as:

Shutdown grid Control 11gR1:

1. Stop agent
.oraenv
agent11g
emctl stop agent


2. Start OMS

If you want to stop the entire stack then you need to do the following:

emctl stop oms -all

But please note when you are patching oms don't use "-all" as it will stop the entire stack and some of the patches need connection to other components.

. oraenv
oms11g
emctl stop oms

3. Stop Database
. oraenv
gc
sqlplus / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
exit




Output is:
