Deploying the Enterprise Manager Agents

If your Recovery Appliance is in compliance mode, you must enable SSH access using racli enable ssh before you can deploy the Enterprise Manager Agents. The process for enabling SSH access requires quorum approval. After the agents have been deployed on all the compute servers, disable SSH access with racli disable ssh.

Perform the following steps to deploy a management agent to each Recovery Appliance compute server:

  1. On each compute server, create a directory owned by oracle:oinstall in which to install the agent.
  2. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) as a user with privileges to discover and manage a Recovery Appliance target.
  3. From the Setup menu, choose Add Target, select Add Targets Manually, choose Add Host Targets, then click Add Host...

    The Add Host Targets: Host and Platform page appears.

  4. From the Platform list, select Same for All Hosts.
  5. For each compute server, click Add, enter the fully qualified host name, and select Linux x86-64 in the Platform list. Then click Next.

    The Add Host Targets: Installation Details page appears.

  6. Specify the Agent installation directory that you created in Step 1, Named Credential for the user that will own the Agent installation, and other requested properties, then click Next.

    The Add Host Targets: Review page appears.

  7. Click Deploy Agent to begin deploying Agents to all Recovery Appliance compute servers.

    The Add Host page appears, displaying warnings about remote prerequisite checks in the Agent Deployment Summary section. The Remote Prerequisite Check Details section might indicate that the root.sh script could not be run due to insufficient privileges. You can fix this in a subsequent step.

  8. To resume the deployment, click Continue, and select All Hosts.

    The Add Host page displays a message that the deployment was successful.

  9. If the root.sh script was not automatically run, follow to the on screen instructions to run root.sh manually on each compute server.
  10. Return to the Add Host page, and click Done.
  11. If your Recovery Appliance was in compliance mode before starting these steps and you enabled SSH access in order to deploy the Enterprise Manager, you should disable SSH access now with racli disable ssh.
