Note:
For more information on these releases and the platforms they support, access the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Certification Matrix. For instructions to access this matrix, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.You can procure the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software from either the product DVD or the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Web site. This section describes these sources and covers the following:
How Do You Access the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Software from a DVD?
How Do You Procure the Software from Oracle Technology Network?
You can obtain the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software from the product DVD that is available through Oracle Service Delivery Managers or Oracle Sales Representatives. The software may be available either on a single DVD or on multiple DVDs depending on the operating system.
This section covers the following:
If the software is available on a single DVD, then insert the DVD into the DVD drive, and run the .bin
file.
If the software is available on multiple DVDs, then copy the archived software from each of the DVDs to a location on your local disk. Then, run the .bin
file. No need to extract the archived (ZIP) files. Retain them as .bin
and .zip
files.
If you want to access the DVD from a shared DVD drive, then set a mount point for the DVD drive.
On most Linux operating systems, the disk mounts automatically when you insert the DVD into the DVD drive. However, for some Linux operating systems, you might have to manually mount the disk. To verify whether the disk mounts automatically and to manually mount the disk if it does not mount itself automatically, follow these steps:
Insert the DVD into the disk drive.
To verify if the disk is automatically mounted, run the following command:
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
# ls /mnt/cdrom
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
# ls /media/cdrom
If the command in Step (2) fails to display the contents of the disk, then run the following command:
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
# mount -t nfs <host name>:/mnt/<full path to the dvdrom>
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
# mount -t nfs <host name>:/media/<full path to the dvdrom>
On most AIX operating systems, the disk mounts automatically when you insert the DVD into the DVD drive. However, for some AIX operating systems, you might have to manually mount the disk. To manually mount the disk if it does not mount itself automatically, follow these steps:
Switch the user to root user by running the following command:
$ su -root
Insert the disk into the drive.
Note:
If required, enter the following command to eject the currently mounted disk and to remove it from the drive:# /usr/sbin/umount /<SD_DVD>
Enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /SD_DVD
In this example command, /SD_DVD
is the disk mount point directory and /dev/cd0
is the device name for the disk device.
If you are prompted to specify the disk location, then specify the disk mount point directory path. For example, /SD_DVD
You can procure the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software from OTN. The software available on OTN is archived using Info-ZIP's highly portable ZIP utility. The software is available in ZIP files. After downloading the software, you will need the UNZIP utility to extract the files.
This section covers the following:
To download the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software from OTN, follow these steps:
As the install user who will be installing the product, create a directory where you can download and store the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software files.
Access the following OTN URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/enterprise-manager/downloads/index.html
Download the following files:
For UNIX platforms:
em13100_linux64.bin
em13100_linux64-2.zip
em13100_linux64-3.zip
em13100_linux64-4.zip
em13100_linux64-5.zip
For Microsoft Windows platforms:
setup_em13100_win64.exe
setup_em13100_win64-2.zip
setup_em13100_win64-3.zip
setup_em13100_win64-4.zip
setup_em13100_win64-5.zip
WARNING:
Do not extract the contents of the downloaded archived (ZIP) files like you did for the previous releases of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. Retain them as .bin
and .zip
files.
As the install user who will be installing the product, set the execute permission for the .bin
or the .exe
file.
For example, on UNIX platforms, set the execute permission for the em13100_linux64.bin
file.
chmod +x em13100_linux64.bin
Verify that the execute permission has been correctly set for the .bin
or the .exe
file.
For example, on UNIX platforms, run the following command:
ls -ltr
You should see a similar output that lists the file permissions:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 user1 group1 2032373759 Jul 14 03:57 em13100_linux64.bin -r--r--r-- 1 user1 group1 2022925751 Jul 14 03:57 em13100_linux64-2.zip -r--r--r-- 1 user1 group1 2046336073 Jul 14 03:57 em13100_linux64-3.zip -r--r--r-- 1 user1 group1 653990632 Jul 14 03:57 em13100_linux64-4.zip -r--r--r-- 1 user1 group1 653990632 Jul 14 03:57 em13100_linux64-5.zip
After downloading the ZIP files, run the cksum
command against the ZIP files and check if the file checksum of the downloaded software is the same as the file checksum displayed on OTN.
The following is the format of the ZIP files released for 13c Release 1 for UNIX platforms. Here, <platform> refers to the operating system and N refers to the ZIP file number. For example, em13100_linux64-2.zip, em13100_linux64-3.zip, em13100_linux64-4.zip,
and em13100_linux64-5.zip.
em13100_<platform>-N.zip (<value> bytes) (cksum - <value>)
Similarly, the following is the format of the ZIP files released for 13c Release 1 for Microsoft Windows platforms. Here, N refers to the ZIP file number. For example, setup_em13100_win64-2.zip, setup_em13100_win64-3.zip, setup_em13100_win64-4.zip,
and setup_em13100_win64-5.zip.
setup_em13100_win64-N.zip (<value> bytes) (cksum - <value>)
The value (cksum - <value>) is the file checksum that you need to check. To check the file checksum of the first ZIP file, run the following command:
$ cksum em13100_<platform>-N.zip
For example,
You must unzip the archive on the platform for which it was intended. For example, if you download the software for the Linux x86 operating system, then you must unzip the file on a Linux x86 operating system only. If you unzip the file on a Microsoft Windows computer and then move the stage area to a Linux computer, then the staged area files will get corrupted. This is because Microsoft Windows does not preserve the case sensitivity or the permission bits of Linux file names.
If you have downloaded a single ZIP file, then extract the contents of it and manually run the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard.
Note:
For information about the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard, see Section 2.1.2.If you have downloaded multiple ZIP files to a common location, then extract the contents of all the ZIP files in the same location, and then manually invoke the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard.
WARNING:
Extracting the contents to different locations will cause the installation to fail.
Tip:
If you plan to store the files on a DVD, then first extract the contents of the ZIP files, and then copy those extracted files to the DVD. Do NOT copy the ZIP files; you need the unzipped contents of the ZIP files to install the product.Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent) is one of the core components of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, and therefore, its software is part of the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control software. When you install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, the installation wizard automatically installs a Management Agent.
You can install additional Management Agents using the Add Host Targets Wizard built into the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control console (Cloud Control console). The wizard uses the Management Agent software that is already present in the OMS home.
However, note that the Management Agent software present in the OMS home is always for the version and platform on which that OMS is running. For example, if the OMS is Oracle Management Service 13c Release 1 and it is running on Linux platform, then the Management Agent software available there is also for that release and for that platform.
If you want to install a Management Agent for a platform that is different from the one on which the OMS is running, then ensure that you download that software using the Self Update Console, which is built into the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Console.
For information on Self Update, see Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide. For instructions to download the software, see the chapter on updating Cloud Control in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.
