Summary
This document is intended as a guide for the processes and procedures to install oracle intelligent agent on Solaris, AIX or Linux servers.
The Installation process will be done using OUI in silent mode.
Oracle Intelligent agent can be installed on any target, regardless if in the server there is any Oracle product installed
Oracle Intelligent agent is used to monitoring and Administrating DBs, servers, OS and applications, gathering information and submitting to a Central repository called OMS.
We assume that ports to communicate between OMS and Target are already opened, in other words, there is communications between OMS and targets
Pre-Task
Determine the Operation system and bit of the target server
Login onto the server and using the following command will return the system name, not necessary
$ uname -s
AIX => For IBM AIX
SunOS => For Sun Solaris
Linux => For Linux
Determine if our OS is 32 or 64 bits
AIX
The command is:
$ getconf -a | grep KERN
The output will be like:
KERNEL_BITMODE: 64
This command can also be used:
$ file /usr/lib/boot/unix*
An output of the type:
64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped will indicate it is 64 bit platform
For a 32-bit platform, the output will be like:
executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped
HP-UX
The command is:
$ /usr/bin/ getconf KERNEL_BITS
It will return 32 or 64, accordingly.
This command can also be used:
$ /usr/bin/file /stand/vmunix
If this is 64-bit:
/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
If this is 32-bit :
/stand/vmunix: PA-RISC1.1 executable -not stripped
SOLARIS
Solaris operating systems allow co-existence of 32-bit and 64-bit files.
The command is:
$ /usr/bin/isainfo -v
or
$ /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
If the system is running on 32-bit mode:
32-bit sparc application
If it is running on a 64 bit mode:
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
LINUX
$ getconf LONG_BIT
This will return 32 or 64; based on OS bitness.
OR
$ uname -a
If the output of the above command contains:
x86_64
ia64
This indicates that it is a 64-bit platform.
Else it is a 32-bit platform.
Download binaries from OTN
Knowing the Operation system and bitness, go to oracle OTN to download binaries.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/index.html
Click on Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Management Agent (All Releases)
Select the agent accordingly to your system; please make sure to take the latest version, unless other is indicated, for our case 11.1.0.1.0
Test communication between OMS and Target
Verify that there is connectivity to the OMS hostname and the port from the machine where the Agent needs to be installed, please do the following test:
From OMS (my_oms_server)
$ telnet <target_server> 3872
And
$ telnet <target_server> <listener_port>
Ex.
$ telnet my_target_server 3872
$ telnet my_target_server 1521
From the target server:
$ telnet my_oms_server 1159
Installation
Agent
Installation.
After you are tested the connectivity, move the zip file to the target server and uzipped on stage area
$ cd /<stage_area>
$ unzip –x Linux_x86_64_Grid_Control_agent_download_11_1_0_1_0.zip
Copy the response file also to the stage area (additional_agent.rsp)
Edit and change your some parameters accordingly, basically you need to change just few, the response file is currently full configured.
Oracle agent home $AGENT_HOME
Please, make sure that the files system have at least 1 Gb available for agent installation, the directory belongs to Oracle owner. ORACLE_AGENT_HOME_LOCATION:<String> The location of oracle agent home. Agent home "agent11g" would be created under the directory specified by ORACLE_AGENT_HOME_LOCATION.
ORACLE_AGENT_HOME_LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle
FOR Stand alone
Comment the following line:
#CLUSTER_NODES:<StringList>
For RAC
Uncomment following line and add the nodes names accordingly:
CLUSTER_NODES=" rac_node1, rac_node2"
To identify the nodes on your system:
$ CRS_HOME/bin/ $ olsnodes -n
rac_node1 1
rac_node2 2
Be sure to remove any ORACLE_HOME, NLS, LIB*, or any other environment variable you would set for an Oracle product from the current session where you will be installing the Agent. Also, make sure that your software owner user default login script does not set Oracle specific environment variables.
Run the agent installer in silent mode:
$ runInstaller -silent -responseFile <path of responce file> -noconfig
Ex.
$ runInstaller -silent –responseFile /tmp/agent/additional_agent.rsp -noconfig
In RAC at the end of the installation you will need to run manually the command showed in the second node.
oracle@rac_node1.mycompany.com:/tmp/agent/linux_x64/agent>./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /tmp/agent/additional_agent.rsp -noconfig

Run root.sh
As root run $AGENT_HOME/root.sh
For RAC need to run in both nodes
Go to $AGENT_HOME/bin and run the following command:
Configure agent
Please make sure the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties parameter EMD_URL is correctly setup, if not make changes as follow.
EMD_URL=https://<target_server>:3872/emd/main
Ex.
EMD_URL=https://rac_node1.mycompany.com:3872/emd/main
For Stand Alone
Run following command to config agent
$ $AGENT_HOME/bin/agentca –d
For RAC
Need to run in both nodes
$ $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl –f –n <cluster_name> -c <node1, node2…>
To get the node name
$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cemutlo –n
Or
$ $CRS_HOME/bin/ocrdump
