4 Meeting Package, Kernel Parameter, and Library Requirements

This chapter describes the packages, kernel parameters settings, and libraries required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing a new Enterprise Manager system, an additional Oracle Management Service (OMS), and a standalone Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent).

In particular, this chapter covers the following:

Note:

The packages and libraries are NOT required for Microsoft Windows platforms.

Package Requirements

This section lists the packages required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing an OMS or a Management Agent. In particular, this section covers the following:

Note:

To manage or monitor database targets on SuSE 10 platform, you must install the packages libaio-32bit-0.3.104-14.2 and libaio-devel-32bit-0.3.104-14.2 on the SuSE 10 host where the Management Agent is running.

Identifying Installed Packages

To identify the packages already installed on your system, run the following command. If the command does not list the packages listed in Package Requirements for Oracle Management Service or Package Requirements for Oracle Management Agent, then install them manually.

Note:

The following command is meant only for Linux x86 and x86-64 platforms. To know the command for other platforms, contact your system administrator or refer to the platform-specific manual.

For Linux Platforms

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n" | grep glibc

The command lists all the packages installed on the system. The 32-bit ones are appended with (i386) or (i686), and the 64-bit ones are appended with (x86_64).

For example, if you run the command on a 32-bit system, you should see something similar to the following:

glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43(i386)
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.43(i386)
glibc-2.3.4-2.43(i686)
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30(i386)
glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.43(i386)
glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.43(i386)
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.103.EL(i386)
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.43(i386)
compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30(i386)

For example, if you run the command on a 64-bit system, you should see something similar to the following:

glibc-common-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)

For Solaris Platforms

pkginfo <package_name>

For example,

pkginfo SUNWbtool

For AIX Platforms

lslpp -l <package name>

For example,

lslpp -l  bos.perf.proctools

For HP Platforms

To determine whether a bundle, product, or fileset is installed, enter the following command, where level is either bundle, product, or fileset:

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l level |more

For example,

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle |grep QPK

Kernel Parameter Requirements

If OMS and Management Repository Are on Different Hosts

If you are installing OMS and Management Repository (database) on different hosts, which are running on Linux operating systems (32-bit or 64-bit), then on the OMS host, set the kernel.shmmax parameter to a value 1 byte less than 4 GB or 4294967295.

Oracle recommends this value to avoid lack of memory issues for other applications and to enable a complete and successful core file generation under any and all circumstances.

To verify the value assigned to kernel.shmmax parameter, run the following command:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

To set the value for kernel.shmmax parameter, run the following command:

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=<new value>

If OMS and Management Repository Are on the Same Host

If you are installing OMS and Management Repository (database) on the same host, which is running on a Linux operating system (32-bit or 64-bit), then set the kernel.shmmax parameter to a value prescribed in the Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux.

Library Requirements

This section lists the libraries required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing an OMS or a Management Agent. In particular, this section covers the following:
