- If the current value of any parameter is higher than the value listed in this table, do not change the value for that parameter.

To view the current value or formula of these kernel parameters, and to change them if necessary, follow these steps:

1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to specify the display of the local system. This is an optional step.
Bourne, Bash or Korn shell:

$ DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

C Shell

$ setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0

2. Start System Administration Manager (SAM)
# /usr/sbin/sam

3. Choose the Kernel Configuration area and the Configurable Parameters area.

4. Check the value or formula specified for each of these parameters and if necessary, modify that value or formula. Refer to the SAM Online Help for more details.

5. Exit from SAM.

6. If you have modified the value for any of the parameters, you must restart your system.
# /sbin/shutdown -r now

7. After you have restarted the system, log in and switch to the root user if necessary.

Mounting the Product Disk

On most HP-UX PA-RISC systems, the product disk gets mounted automatically when you insert it into the drive. If the disk does not get automatically mounted, follow these steps to mount it manually:

1. Switch user to the root user:
$su - root

2. If necessary, enter a command similar to the following to eject the mounted disk, then remove it from the drive:
# /usr/sbin/umount/SD_DVD

3. Insert the disk into the drive.

4. Enter a command similar to the following:
# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr/dev/dsk/cxtyz/SD_DVD

In this example, /SD_DVD is the disk mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtyz is the device name for the disk device. For example, /dev/dsk/c0t2d0.

5. If the Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for the location, enter the disk mount point directory path. For example:
/SD_DVD

Installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control

Once you have configured your system to meet hardware and software requirements, start Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and install Grid Control as follows:

1. Start OUI by executing the following commands:

1. Navigate to the home directory by entering the following command:
cd <enter>

2. Enter the following command:
<mounted location>/runInstaller

For example: Enter the command as follows:

/SD_DVD/runInstaller

Alternately, you can change directory to the Parent Directory (the root directory where you will install the Oracle home) and specify the full path to the runInstaller script.

2. The following table describes the recommended action for each OUI screen for the first two installation types.
If you need more assistance, click Help on that screen. If you have trouble with the installation, check out the "Troubleshooting" chapter of Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration.

Other Installation or Upgrade Options

In addition to performing a complete Grid Control installation, either using the embedded database or an existing, qualified one, you can perform the following other installation or upgrade operations:

- Install an additional Management Service.

- Install Management Agents using the Agent Deployment application. This application is part of the Grid Control installation, and can be used to "push" Management Agents from a central location to one or more target hosts in a single operation. Before launching a deployment operation using this method, you must set up SSH connectivity between the Management Service host and all target hosts. To do so, execute the script found at:

<OMS ORACLEHOME>/sysman/prov/resources/scripts/      sshUserSetup.sh

To initiate a deployment operation, click the Install Agent link on the Grid Control Deployments page. For more details, refer to the "Installing the Management Agent Using Agent Deploy" section in Oracle Enterprise Manager Installation and Basic Configuration.

- Install Management Agents using the agentDownload script. Launch this script on each target host to "pull" files from a central staging location. The requirements for the agentDownload script are:

1. The agentDownload script must have execute permission. After you have downloaded the script, change the file permissions as follows:
chmod +x agentDownload.<os>

2. Ensure that the "jar" command and "wget" is in the system PATH.

To download and run the agentDownload script:

1. Log into the target host.

2. Bring up the browser window.

3. Download the agentDownload script from:
/agentDownload .<OS>">http://mgmthost27.acme.com:4889/agent_download/10.2.0.1.0/<OS>/agentDownload .<OS>

4. Navigate to the directory where the agentDownload script is available.

5. Change the file permissions as follows:
chmod +x agentDownload . <OS>

6. Execute the agentDownload script as follows:
run agentDownload . <OS>

For example:

/agentDownload.linux -b /scratch/agentInstall

You can use the -h option to see the usage details.

- Upgrade a previous, qualified version of Enterprise Manager Grid Control. Existing versions of Enterprise Manager will be automatically detected.

Refer to Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration for detailed information and instructions on all of the above operations.
