Table 11-1 Setting Up and Using Enterprise Manager
| Step | Task | Description | Procedure |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Step 1 |
Verify Oracle Software Library Setup |
Software Library is a repository that stores software entities such as software patches, virtual appliance images, reference gold images, application software, and their associated directive scripts. Verify if you have already configured Oracle Software Library while installing Enterprise Manager. If you have not, then configure a new Software Library. |
|
|
Step 2 |
Verify My Oracle Support Connectivity |
My Oracle Support connectivity enables you to view Service Request information, obtain Patch Recommendations, and download Management Plug-ins and other entities to the Software Library. Verify if you have connection to My Oracle Support. |
|
|
Step 3 |
Download Oracle Management Agent Software |
Management Agents help you monitor targets on hosts. Download the Management Agent software for various operating systems supported by Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, to the Software Library using Self Update Console. |
|
|
Step 4 |
Download and Deploy Management Plug-Ins |
Management Plug-ins are components that "plug in" to Cloud Control to provide various features and functionality. Download and deploy the latest versions of the Management Plug-ins you need. |
|
|
Step 5 |
Discover Targets |
Discover and select the targets you want Enterprise Manager to monitor and manage. Enterprise Manager can scan your infrastructure for potential targets, or you can manually add your own. |
|
|
Step 6 |
Configure E-Mail Notifications |
Notifications keep you informed when specific incidents, events, or problems arise. Configure the SMTP gateway to enable e-mail notifications to be sent for events and incidents. |

A role is a collection of Enterprise Manager resource privileges, or target privileges, or both. Roles are assigned to administrator accounts, so that the access to Enterprise Manager is controlled. Create roles and assign appropriate privileges for your organization. |

Step 8 |
Create Administrator Accounts |
An administrator is an authorized user who logs in and uses Enterprise Manager. Create administrator accounts and assign roles to them so that the access to Enterprise Manager is controlled. |
