These procedures describe how to install and configure an Enterprise Controller and one or more Proxy Controllers on Linux systems. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center requires an Enterprise Controller and at least one Proxy Controller.
You can install the Enterprise Controller and the product database in one of three ways depending on the size and requirements of your environment:
Install the Enterprise Controller and an embedded database on one system
Install the Enterprise Controller and configure it to use a customer-managed database
Install Oracle Clusterware and multiple Enterprise Controllers for high availability, and configure them to use a customer-managed database
Once you have installed the Enterprise Controller, you configure it. The configuration process specifies many characteristics of the Enterprise Controller, and can install and configure one or more Proxy Controllers based on your choice of deployment:
A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system.
An advanced deployment remotely installs and configures one or more Proxy Controllers on remote systems.
Installing Proxy Controllers outside of the configuration wizard lets you install and configure Proxy Controllers remotely or manually after configuring the Enterprise Controller.
If you decided to install Proxy Controllers outside of the configuration wizard, or if you need to install Proxy Controllers at a later date, you can use one of two methods:
Deploy it remotely using the Deploy Proxy Wizard
Install and configure it manually
In a typical initial installation, you install and configure an Enterprise Controller first, and install and configure Proxy Controllers as part of the configuration process. A Proxy Controller is automatically installed on the system where you install the Enterprise Controller, but you choose whether or not to enable it.
This installation installs, or upgrades to, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7_25 for the use of the Enterprise Controller and JRE 1.6_51 for the use of the Proxy Controllers. Later versions of JRE are not affected.
This procedure describes the steps required to install Enterprise Controller software on a system that is running the Linux OS. This procedure also installs an embedded database.
The script that installs the Enterprise Controller also automatically installs a Proxy Controller on the same system, but it does not enable the Proxy Controller. In the configuration steps that follow this software installation procedure, you can choose to enable this Proxy Controller.
Before you install Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center with an embedded database, you must download the required Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.3 installation bundles.
Note:
This procedure requires a valid My Oracle Support (MOS) account, which must be associated with a Customer Service Identifier (CSI) with a software contract.Create a /var/tmp/downloads directory on the Enterprise Controller system.
Navigate to http://support.oracle.com, click Sign In, and sign in with your MOS credentials.
Click the Patches & Updates tab.
Enter 10404530 in the field next to Patch Name or Number.
Click the Add Filter icon, then select your Enterprise Controller system's operating system and architecture in the drop-down menu next to Platform.
Click Search.
The Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.3 patch set is displayed.
Click Download.
The file download popup is displayed.
Download the first two files. These files end with _1of7.zip and _2of7.zip.
Copy or move the downloaded installation bundles to the /var/tmp/downloads directory on the Enterprise Controller system.
To Install an Enterprise Controller with an Embedded Database
This procedure installs the Enterprise Controller, co-located Proxy Controller, and embedded database.
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.0.0.zip /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip extension, use the unzip command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip extension, use the unzip and tar commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1.5 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip | tar xf - # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
Change directory to xvmoc_full_bundle, and run the install script. For example:
# cd xvmoc_full_bundle # ./install

Review and correct any problems when the install script checks for installation prerequisites that are not met. For example, this install script detected insufficient disk space:
Warning for Step: Check for installation prerequisites. The following is a portion of the installer log which may indicate the cause of the warning. If this does not indicate the cause of the warning, you will need to view the full log file. More information on how to do that is available below. You may choose to ignore this warning by selecting to continue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ignoring job: 01checkRPMs.pl Ignoring job: 03removeEmptyDirs.pl Executing job: jobs/00checkPrereqs.pl --install WARNING: Installation prerequisites not met: Disk: / 72G needed, 24G available. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please fix the problem and then try this step again. For a full log of the failed install see the file: /var/tmp/installer.log.9361. t. Try this step again (correct the failure before proceeding) c. Continue (ignore the warning) x. Exit Enter selection: (t/c/x)
You can enter t to try again, c to continue and ignore the warning, or x to exit the install script. You should exit the install script, correct the problem, and then run the install script again, which resumes from where it stopped. Choose to continue and ignore the warning only if you accept the impact that the error condition will have on your installation. Entering t typically produces the same error, unless you are able to correct the problem before trying the step again. If the install script finds that all prerequisites have been satisfied, or if you choose to continue despite the warning, the install script continues and installs all Enterprise Controller and Proxy Controller components.
When complete, the install script displays a confirmation that all components have been installed. The /var/tmp/installer.log.latest file contains the installation log.
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command to check the status of the Enterprise Controller services. If the installation has completed successfully, the services should be online. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm status online #
When the installation is complete, configure the Enterprise Controller using one of the procedures in the Configuring an Enterprise Controller section.
This procedure describes the steps required to install Enterprise Controller software on a system that is running the Linux OS. This procedure also configures the software to use a customer-managed Oracle Database Enterprise Edition database. The customer-managed database must be installed and configured separately prior to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center installation.
See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Certified Systems Matrix for a list of supported database versions and database options.
The script that installs the Enterprise Controller also automatically installs a Proxy Controller on the same system, but it does not enable the Proxy Controller. In the configuration steps that follow this software installation procedure, you can choose to enable this Proxy Controller.
Note:
The installation procedure requires database user name and password information. Work with your database administrator if you do not have access to this information.Complete this procedure before beginning the installation.
Identify an existing Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition database to use, or install and configure a customer-managed database according to the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition installation documentation.
To Install an Enterprise Controller with a Customer-Managed Database
This procedure installs the Enterprise Controller and co-located Proxy Controller, and configures the software to use a customer-managed database.
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.0.0.tar.gz /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip extension, use the unzip command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip extension, use the unzip and tar commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1.5 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip | tar xf - # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
Copy the createOCSchema.sql script from the Enterprise Controller to the customer-managed database server. This script is in the/var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/Linux_i686/Product/installer/scripts directory.
For example, on the customer-managed database server:
# scp root@EnterpriseController:/var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/SunOS_i386/Product/installer/scripts/createOCSchema.sql . Password: createOCSchema.sql 100% |*********************| 1486 00:00
As the customer-managed database administrator, run the createOCSchema_remote.sql script and enter the following information:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user name – This is a database user that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to access the database.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center password – This is the password for the database user. See the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition documentation for information about password length and character restrictions.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center read-only user name – This is a read-only database user that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to view the database.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center read-only password – This is the password for the read-only database user.
Default tablespace – This is the default tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
Temporary tablespace – This is the temporary tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center dump directory – This directory must exist and must be owned by the oracle user.
When you enter all of the required information, the createOCSchema_remote.sql script indicates completion and exits.

# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm status online #
Delete the database properties file that you created on the Enterprise Controller system.
For example:
# rm /var/tmp/RemoteDBProps.txt
When the installation is complete, configure the Enterprise Controller using one of the procedures in the Configuring an Enterprise Controller section.
This procedure describes the steps required to install Enterprise Controller software on systems that are running the Linux OS, with one Enterprise Controller configured as the primary and one or more Enterprise Controllers configured as standby systems. This enables you to switch to a different node to perform maintenance or avoid a loss of service if one node fails.
This procedure configures the software to use a remote Oracle Database. The customer-managed database must be installed and configured separately. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Certified Systems Matrix for a list of supported database versions and database options.
The script that installs the Enterprise Controller also automatically installs a Proxy Controller on the same system, but it does not enable the Proxy Controller. In the configuration steps perfomed as part of the primary Enterprise Controller installation, you can choose to enable this Proxy Controller.
When you have completed this procedure, configure only the primary Enterprise Controller as described in the Configuring an Enterprise Controller section.
Note:
The installation procedure requires database user name and password information. Work with your database administrator if you do not have access to this information.Installing and configuring Oracle Clusterware is the first step in setting up High Availability in your environment.
To Configure Systems for High Availability
Install Oracle Clusterware in your environment. The Oracle Clusterware installation documentation is available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b28263/toc.htm.
Identify an existing Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition database to use, or install and configure a customer-managed database according to the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition installation documentation.
Note:
Each node must use the same name service for validating local users and groups.You must install the Enterprise Controller on each cluster node before configuring the software. The first node is initially configured as the active node.
To Install the Enterprise Controller on the First Node
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.0.0.tar.gz /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip extension, use the unzip command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip extension, use the unzip and tar commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1.5 GB of additional space. For example:

Identify an existing Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition database to use, or install and configure a customer-managed database according to the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition installation documentation.
Copy the createOCSchema.sql script from the Enterprise Controller to the customer-managed database server. This script is in the/var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/Linux_i686/Product/installer/scripts directory.
For example, on the customer-managed database server:
# scp root@EnterpriseController:/var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/SunOS_i386/Product/installer/scripts/createOCSchema.sql . Password: createOCSchema.sql 100% |*********************| 1486 00:00
As the customer-managed database administrator, run the createOCSchema_remote.sql script and enter the following information:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user name – This is a database user that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to access the database.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center password – This is the password for the database user. See the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition documentation for information about password length and character restrictions.

Delete the database properties file that you created on the Enterprise Controller system.
For example:
# rm /var/tmp/RemoteDBProps.txt
Once you have installed the Enterprise Controller on the primary node, you can install on standby nodes.
To Install the Enterprise Controller on a Standby Node
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.0.0.tar.gz /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip extension, use the unzip command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip extension, use the unzip and tar commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1.5 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip | tar xf - # ls enterprise-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
Create a database properties file on the Enterprise Controller system. The database properties file must contain the location of the customer-managed database and a user name and password that can access the database.
For example:

Review and correct any problems when the install script checks for installation prerequisites that are not met. For example, this install script detected insufficient disk space:
Warning for Step: Check for installation prerequisites. The following is a portion of the installer log which may indicate the cause of the warning. If this does not indicate the cause of the warning, you will need to view the full log file. More information on how to do that is available below. You may choose to ignore this warning by selecting to continue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ignoring job: 01checkRPMs.pl Ignoring job: 03removeEmptyDirs.pl Executing job: jobs/00checkPrereqs.pl --install WARNING: Installation prerequisites not met: Disk: / 72G needed, 24G available. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please fix the problem and then try this step again. For a full log of the failed install see the file: /var/tmp/installer.log.9361. t. Try this step again (correct the failure before proceeding) c. Continue (ignore the warning) x. Exit Enter selection: (t/c/x)
You can enter t to try again, c to continue and ignore the warning, or x to exit the install script. You should exit the install script, correct the problem, and then run the install script again, which resumes from where it stopped. Choose to continue and ignore the warning only if you accept the impact that the error condition will have on your installation. Entering t typically produces the same error, unless you are able to correct the problem before trying the step again. If the install script finds that all prerequisites have been satisfied, or if you choose to continue despite the warning, the install script continues and installs all Enterprise Controller and Proxy Controller components.
When complete, the install script displays a confirmation that all components have been installed. The /var/tmp/installer.log.latest file contains the installation log.
Create a password file containing the root user name and password for the primary Enterprise Controller. For example:
# touch /tmp/creds.props # chmod 400 /tmp/creds.props # vi /tmp/creds.props # cat /tmp/creds.props username:root password:XXXXX
Delete the database properties file that you created on the Enterprise Controller system.
For example:
# rm /var/tmp/RemoteDBProps.txt
Once you have installed the primary and standby Enterprise Controllers, configure the primary Enterprise Controller to act as the primary.
To Configure the Primary Enterprise Controller
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command with the ha-configure-primary subcommand to configure the system as the active Enterprise Controller.
If the clusterware crsctl command is not in the /u01 directory, use the --crsctl_basepath <location> option to specify its location.
For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm ha-configure-primary INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigurePrimary() Stopping Ops Center ... INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigurePrimary() Ops Center stopped INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/createActionScript() created Resource Action Script='/var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/EnterpriseController' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigurePrimary() created Clusterware Action Script='/var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/EnterpriseController' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigurePrimary() created Clusterware Resource='EnterpriseController' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doHAStart() starting resource='EnterpriseController' on node='primary-system' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doHAStart()statusSB='CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'EnterpriseController' on 'primary-system' CRS-2676: Start of 'EnterpriseController' on 'primary-system' succeeded' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doHAStart() started resource='EnterpriseController' on node='primary-system' INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigurePrimary() Ops Center started on node='primary-system' ecadm: --- Enterprise Controller successfully configured HA primary node #
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command with the status option to check the status of the Enterprise Controller services. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm status online #
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command with the ha-status -d option to check the status of the standby Enterprise Controller. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm ha-status -d INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doHAStatus() Status: # HAEC Cluster Info: Thu Sep 29 15:49:09 MDT 2011 haec.cluster.active.node=active haec.cluster.nodes=active haec.ec.public.nics=nge1 haec.ec.status=ONLINE <output omitted> haec.cluster.script=/var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/EnterpriseController haec.cluster.crsctl=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl # End of Cluster Info ecadm: --- Enterprise Controller ha-status command succeeded Status stored in file: /var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/HAECStatus #
Go to Configuring an Enterprise Controller and follow the steps to configure the active Enterprise Controller.
Once you have configured the primary Enterprise Controller, configure the standby Enterprise Controllers to act as standbys.
To Configure a Standby Enterprise Controller
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command with the ha-configure-standby and -p <password file> subcommands to configure the system as a standby Enterprise Controller.
If the clusterware crsctl command is not in the /u01 directory, use the --crsctl_basepath <location> option to specify its location.
For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm ha-configure-standby -p /tmp/creds.props INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigureStandby() Stopping Ops Center ... INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doConfigureStandby() Ops Center stopped INFO: remoteFileCopy() copied '/etc/passwd' from remoteHostname='primary-system' to local file='/tmp/activeNodepw' <output omitted> ecadm: --- Enterprise Controller successfully configured HA standby node
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm command with the ha-status -d option to check the status of the standby Enterprise Controller. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ecadm ha-status -d INFO: HAECClusterwareAdapter/doHAStatus() Status: # HAEC Cluster Info: Thu Sep 29 15:49:09 MDT 2011 haec.cluster.active.node=primary haec.cluster.nodes=standby, primary haec.ec.public.nics=nge1 haec.ec.status=ONLINE <output omitted> haec.cluster.script=/var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/EnterpriseController haec.cluster.crsctl=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl # End of Cluster Info ecadm: --- Enterprise Controller ha-status command succeeded Status stored in file: /var/opt/sun/xvm/ha/HAECStatus #
After you install the Enterprise Controller, you must configure it. During the configuration process, you specify how Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center operates.
The following tasks are part of the configuration process:
Supplying Enterprise Controller information
Deploying one or more Proxy Controllers (optional in this wizard, but must be performed before using the software)
Registering the Enterprise Controller (optional)
Creating libraries
Choosing a connection mode and configuring services (optional in this wizard, but must be performed before using the software)
This procedure describes the complete Enterprise Controller configuration process, including Proxy Controller deployment, asset discovery, connection mode selection, and registration.
Three types of configuration are described in this section:
Simple deployment - A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system. This deployment is effective for small environments.
Advanced deployment - An advanced deployment installs and configures one or more Proxy Controllers on remote systems. This deployment is effective for larger environments.
Deploy without installing a Proxy Controller - This deployment configures the Enterprise Controller without installing or configuring any Proxy Controllers. This deployment is appropriate if you intend to install and configure Proxy Controllers after configuration. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center cannot function without at least one Proxy Controller.
Note:
You should not install a Proxy Controller in an environment where there is a web proxy which requires authentication between the Enterprise Controller and the Proxy Controller. Many OS update functions are not usable for systems managed by such a Proxy Controller.A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system.
If you intend to operate in Disconnected Mode, acquire an update bundle:
Download https://updates.oracle.com/OCDoctor/harvester_bundle-latest.zip on an Internet-facing system.
Unzip the bundle.
Run the harvester script on an Internet-facing Oracle Solaris or Linux system. The script connects to the Oracle Datacenter and creates an update bundle. For example:
# ./harvester --user <MOS user name> --password-file <password file location> --kb-only Directory /export/home/public not found. This directory will be created.

This installation installs, or upgrades to, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6_51. Later versions of JRE are not affected.
You can use the OC Doctor to verify that the system is prepared for the installation. See http://java.net/projects/oc-doctor for more information about the OC Doctor.
You must not install a Proxy Controller in an environment where there is a web proxy which requires authentication between the Enterprise Controller and the Proxy Controller. Many OS update functions are not usable for systems managed by such a Proxy Controller.
Note:
To provision an Oracle VM Server for SPARC, the Proxy Controller that performs the provisioning must be installed on Oracle Solaris.Before proceeding with the Proxy Controller installation, check that your system's resources meet the system requirements using the OC Doctor or using the manual procedure.
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. The installation archive consumes about 700 MBytes of disk space. You must use the same Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive version as the one used to install the Enterprise Controller. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp proxy-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip /var/tmp/OC
Change to the directory where the archive is located on your system. For example:
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Use the unzip and tar commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip proxy-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar.zip # tar xf proxy-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar # ls xvmoc_full_bundle proxy-controller.Linux.i686.12.1.2.2140.tar #
Change to the xvmoc_full_bundle directory, and run the install script with the -p option. Each installation archive only contains an install script that is appropriate for its intended OS and platform. The -p option causes the install script to only install the Proxy Controller-related components. For example:
# cd xvmoc_full_bundle # ./install -p
The screen clears, then the install script displays a list of installation tasks that automatically updates as the installation proceeds. For example:
Ops Center Proxy Controller Installer

1. Check for installation prerequisites. [Completed]
2. Install prerequisite packages. [Completed]
3. Install Expect. [Not Completed]
4. Install IPMI tool. [Not Completed]
5. Install Agent components. [Not Completed]
6. Install application packages. [Not Completed]
7. Install Core Channel components. [Not Completed]
8. Set Proxy database credentials. [Not Completed]
9. Install Proxy Controller components. [Not Completed]
10. Install UCE Http proxy. [Not Completed]
11. Install OS provisioning components. [Not Completed]
12. Initialize (but do not start) services. [Not Completed]
Executing current step: Install Expect...
When complete, the install script indicates that all components have been installed, and indicates that the Proxy Controller is ready to be configured.
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm command to check the status of the Proxy Controller services. If the installation has completed successfully, the services should be online. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm status online #
Once a Proxy Controller has been installed, it must be configured to connect it with the Enterprise Controller. Use this procedure to configure a Proxy Controller with an Enterprise Controller.
Consult with Oracle Support to determine what Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center updates are required. Install all required updates before you register the Proxy Controller with the Enterprise Controller.
Note:
If you designated an alternative Administrative User for the Enterprise Controller, use the same user name to register your Proxy Controller with the Enterprise Controller. Otherwise, use the root user to register your Proxy Controller with the Enterprise Controller.To Register a Proxy Controller With an Enterprise Controller
Create a temporary directory, for example, /var/tmp/OC, to hold the password file that you create in this procedure.
# mkdir -p /var/tmp/OC
Create an empty file named /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd, and set its permission mode to 400.
# touch /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd # chmod 400 /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd
Edit the /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd file so that it contains the password of the user that you designated the administrator of your Enterprise Controller. The following echo command appends the password to the /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd file. Replace password with the correct password. For example:
# echo 'password' > /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm command with the configure subcommand to associate the Proxy Controller with the Enterprise Controller. The example commands below use the following options:
-s – Specify the host name or IP address of the Enterprise Controller with which to register the Proxy Controller.
-u – Specify the user that you designated the administrator of your Enterprise Controller.
-p – Specify the absolute path name of the file that contains the password for the user you specified with the -u option.
-a – Specify the IP address that the Proxy Controller should use. This option is required if you want the Proxy Controller to be identified on a specific NIC by the Enterprise Controller. Accept any certificates that are presented. The co-located Proxy Controller configuration does not display certificate information.
For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm configure -s enterprise-controller.company -u droot -p /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd Certificate: Serial Number: 270256981 Version: 3 Issuer: CN=enterprise-controller_ca Subject: CN=enterprise-controller_agent Not valid before: Wed Jul 02 19:32:56 MDT 1969 Not valid after: Mon Apr 02 19:32:56 MDT 2029 Certificate: Serial Number: 1062961758 Version: 3 Issuer: CN=enterprise-controller_ca Subject: CN=enterprise-controller_ca Not valid before: Wed Jul 02 19:32:54 MDT 1969 Not valid after: Mon Apr 02 19:32:54 MDT 2029 Accept server's certificate? (y|n) y Connection registered successfully. #
If you are manually configuring the co-located Proxy Controller because your Enterprise Controller has more than one active network interface, use the -a option to identify the particular interface that you want the Proxy Controller to use. Specify the IP address that is assigned to the interface that you want to use. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm configure -s enterprise-controller.company -u droot -p /var/tmp/OC/mypasswd -a 172.20.25.18 (output omitted)
Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm command with the start subcommand and the -w option to start the Proxy Controller services. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm start -w proxyadm: Starting proxy with SMF... proxyadm: Proxy services have started #
To verify the connection that has been established for this Proxy Controller configuration, run the sc-console list-connections command. For example:
# sc-console list-connections scn-proxy https://enterprise-controller.company:443 urn:scn:clregid:18a0206a-a5c4-4c8c-90f2-d4eb1d2b623b:20090419213707452 #
The sc-console list-connections command lists the connection that is established with the Enterprise Controller. If you are enabling a co-located Proxy Controller, the command also lists a connection for localhost. For example:
# sc-console list-connections scn-proxy https://enterprise-controller.company:443 urn:scn:clregid:6d0ec2ab-b868-46ab-8475-4a5d726dee69:20090419214450735 localhost https://localhost:443 urn:scn:clregid:a9f5243e-f46e-4b32-85ca-76e2c12c0707:20090403015601612 #
