Manually Deploy Exadata Plug-in

The Exadata plug-in is automatically deployed to the agent as part of discovery.

You may need to manually deploy the Exadata plug-in to the agents on each of the VM Guests when upgrading an existing agent plug-in installation. Deploy the Exadata plug-in manually if an older version of the plug-in has been deployed to the agent already and you would like to upgrade to the latest version of the plug-in deployed on the OMS.

To determine if the Exadata plug-in is deployed on each VM Guest and what version it is, you have two options:

  • From a terminal window, run the following command:

    emctl listplugins agent

    Note:

    The emctl listplugins agent command must be run on the VM Guest using emctl in the agent installation directory.

  • From Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, click the Setup menu (upper right corner), Extensibility, and then Plug-ins.

To manually deploy the Exadata plug-in:

  1. From the Enterprise Manager home page, click the Setup menu (upper right corner), Extensibility, and then Plug-ins.
  2. On the Plug-ins page, select Oracle Exadata Plug-in from the Name list.

    Note:

    Please check Exadata Storage Software Versions Supported by the Oracle Enterprise Manager Exadata Plug-in (Doc ID 1626579.1) on My Oracle Support for the latest supported plug-ins. Oracle recommends that you deploy the latest version of the Exadata plug-in to the agent.

  3. Click Deploy On, then Management Agent.
  4. On the Deploy Plug-in on Management Agent screen, verify the version of the plug-in to deploy and click Continue.
  5. On the Deploy Plug-in on Management Agent screen, select the agents for which the plug-in should be deployed. You can select more than one agent.
  6. After you have added the agents, click Next on the Deploy Plug-in on Management Agent screen to review and verify the agent information.
  7. Click Deploy to deploy the plug-in to the agents.
  8. After the plug-in is deployed to all the agents, a confirmation screen will be displayed. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box or Show Status to display the status of the agent in the Enterprise Manager Deployment Activities screen.
