Install a Data Collector with a Locked Account

This section discusses installing a data collector when having a locked account.

Install a Data Collector with a Locked Account

If you are installing a data collector and you don't have the password for the OMR_HOST_USERNAME (typically oracle OS user), then at installation time, you can pass an operating system user instead of OMR_HOST_USERNAME that meets the following requirements:

  • Ensure that an operating system user (for example, User_A has SSH access to Oracle Management Repository), who has read/write permissions on OMR_STAGE_DIR, exists.

  • Ensure that the operating system user (oracle) who owns the Oracle Management Repository database Oracle Home also has read/write permissions on OMR_STAGE_DIR.

  • When running the AgentInstall.sh script, specify OMR_HOST_USERNAME=User_A and its password in the response file.

  • In case of a Real Application Cluster Oracle Management Repository database environment, ensure that OMR_STAGE_DIR is accessible from all the instances and the data collector host, and OMR_HOST_USERNAME and the operating system user who owns the Oracle Home of the Oracle Management Repository database both have read/write permissions to OMR_STAGE_DIR.
