While upgrading Enterprise Manager, all the JVM Diagnostics (JVMD) Engines are stopped as a part of the preupgrade process. Once Enterprise Manager is successfully upgraded to 13c Release 2, the JVMD Engines that were part of your enterprise before the upgrade must be re-created.
This chapter describes how to upgrade or redeploy Java Virtual Machine Diagnostics (JVMD) Agents. To obtain the latest JVMD features and use them to monitor the JVMs deployed in your enterprise, Oracle recommends that you upgrade your JVMD Agents to the latest available version.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Note:
For information about deploying JVMD Agents with basic and advanced options, see the following guides:
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control provides a user interface and a perl script that enable you to upgrade and redeploy JVMD Agents, which are simple web applications (.war
files). The user interface and the perl script enable you to simplify the process of upgrading or redeploying JVMD Agents, and upgrade or redeploy multiple JVMD Agents in one go. Alternatively, you can choose to use the WebLogic Administration console to download and deploy the latest JVMD Agent version.
Note:
Certain enterprise management tasks (such as configuring a custom certificate for OMS Oracle HTTP Server uploads, configuring a load balancer for multiple OMSes, etc.) introduce changes in the OMS configuration. These tasks may require you to re-secure the deployed Management Agents. If you re-secure the Management Agents deployed in your enterprise, ensure that you redeploy the deployed JVMD Agents, as described in this section.
You can upgrade or redeploy JVMD Agents using the following methods:
Upgrading or Redeploying JVMD Agents Using the Engines And Agents Page
Upgrading or Redeploying JVMD Agents Manually Using deploy_jvmdagent.pl
Upgrading or Redeploying JVMD Agents Manually Using the WebLogic Administration Console
Note:
You can upgrade a JVMD Agent deployed on a particular Managed Server only if the available JVMD Agent binaries are of a different version than the deployed JVMD Agent version.
To upgrade or redeploy JVMD Agents on monitored WebLogic domains using the Setup page, follow these steps:
You can upgrade or redeploy JVMD Agents manually, using the deploy_jvmdagent.pl
script. You can run this script only in silent mode, that is, you must specify all the input details using a properties file.
To upgrade or redeploy JVMD Agents manually using deploy_jvmdagent.pl,
follow these steps:
After upgrading or redeploying your JVMD agents, verify the deployment of their new versions, as described in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide
