Grid Control became Cloud Control (by the way, beta releases were named Grid Control 12g)

Cloud Control 12c is the Oracle Management platform, also called “Enterprise Manager” Cloud Control 12c

Next generation of the Grid Control 10g/11g

It allows to operate/monitor the following components and much more:

Databases & Middleware infrastructures

Exadata infrastructures

Monitoring of SQL Server

Oracle VM infrastructures

etc.

Globally the installation has become much easier

All components are installed smoothly in one step:

JAVA , Weblogic Server, OMS

The only “surprise” comes from the Oracle installation “zip” file you download from Oracle Technet

The “unzip” command provided by Oracle Enterprise Linux is not able to extract these files! The installation crashes!

On AIX 6.1 you have to use the unzip utility and not to use the unzip_AIX downloaded from Oracle Technet

Enterprise Manager 12c binaries are bigger than 11g version

JDK, WebLogic and EM 12c are installed by a single installer

Installer 12c needs less inputs and has less install screens than in previous versions (10g/11g)

Cloud Control 12c

Installation


A lot of pre-requisites checks during installation

12c 11g

Checking if Oracle software certified on the current O/S X X

Checking for required packages installed on the system X X

Checking whether required GLIBC installed on the system X X

Checking for sufficient disk space in TEMP location X X

Checking for sufficient disk space in Inventory location X X

Checking whether the software is compatible for current O/S X X

Checking for TZ region X -

Checking for sufficient physical memory X X

Checking for sufficient swap space X -

Checking for required ulimit value X X

Checking for the Hostname X X

Checking for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable X -

Installation of Cloud Control 12c became much easier than Grid Control 11g

Weblogic Server fully integrated (no need to install a WLS server before), even better no need to Patch!

8 installation screens instead of 13 (for Grid Control 11g)

Lots of prerequisites checks

Grid Control 12c needs more resources

Several methods are available to deploy the agents

Setup discovery using IP scan (not agent based)

Multiple Target Discovery on single host (agent based)

Add targets manually

Silent mode using emcli

RPM method (only on Linux)

Agent 12c not yet available on Windows (Q4 2012)

Agent deployment methods

Cloud Control 12c

Deployment GUI


To deploy the agent on a target, we have first to discover a host manually :

© dbi services

The deployment procedure uses named credentials

Oracle uses /usr/local/bin/sudo, a symbolic link solves the problem

Cloud Control 12c

Deployment GUI


© dbi services

An older release of the agent cannot be present on the system, you have to un-install or remove it from inventory

Cloud Control 12c

Deployment GUI

Remote prerequisites checks are performed:

Finally the agent is configured on the target host:

Once the agent is installed on the future managed host we can add non host targets:

Silent mode is an alternative to add an agent using the add host target wizard:

1. Configure emcli on the OMS host

2. Download the agent software on the OMS server using emcli get_agentimage

3. Transfer the zip file to the future managed host where you want to install the agent

4. Configure the agent.rsp response file

5. Install the agent using agentdeploy.sh

With Linux it is possible to use a RPM based installation

Mandatory to have the /usr/lib/oracle directory and the rpm-build package installed

We use emcli on the OMS host to generate a RPM image :

1. We copy and uncompress the rpm generated file on the future managed host, and configure /usr/lib/oracle/agent.properties

2. We run /etc/init.d/config.pl to install and configure the agent

3. We have to create the /usr/lib/oracle directory with the correct permissions on the future managed host

4. The rpm-build package must also be installed

Cloud Control 12c

Deployment RPM


emcli get_agentimage_rpm -destination=/tmp -

platform="Linux x86-64" -version="12.1.0.1.0“

Deployment to multiple servers in single step

1. Remote prerequisite checks

2. Automatically register agent with OMS

3. Retry/continue from failure

4. Control operations from GUI and EMCLI

Service Management Oriented features and layout (i.e. Incident and problem management), see demo later on

Better integration with My Oracle Support (i.e. ORA-XXX errors are directly linked to corresponding My Oracle Support notes)

Improved help and documentation

Administration Groups and Template Collections improve the management of targets and eases the monitoring strategy

Administration Groups (improvement of Grid 11g Target Groups) can be defined in hierarchies (properties of the parents inherited by the Childs)

Cloud Control 12c

Target monitoring – Admin. Groups

Templates collections are composed of “monitoring templates” (of several types), “compliance standards” and “cloud policies”

Both together provide default monitoring and management settings to the deployed targets

They allow to remain targets in sync (i.e. no monitoring metrics differences)

Template collections can be affected to any level of the Administration Group Hierarchy

45 default Oracle monitoring templates are provided with Cloud Control 12c (HTTP server, agent, Weblogic, aso …)

Several templates can be “loaded” within one template collection

Cloud Control 12c introduces some basics of the Service Management requirement

Incident, problem management are covered based on the adrci naming convention : “ORA-XXXX is a problem

Possibility to assign, monitor, acknowledge incidents

Possibility to create custom incidents

Possibility to create custom incident views
