OCM 11g Preparation - Install and Patch Enterprise Manager Grid Control software

Oracle 11g EM installation is divided in WebLogic and OMS. I gave the link to both files here.

There is no mysterious in installing the WebLogic. As it is a binary file, all you can do is call the user interface and go through the steps.

Do not try Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6 with the Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control. It won't work. Use 10.3.2 version!

If you try, you will get an error like "NMProcess: weblogic.nodemanager.common.ConfigException: The domain 'GCDomain' was not registered in the nodemanager.domains file and dynamic domain registration is not supported. Please register the domain in the nodemanager.domains file."

The OMS is a little more complex. What you must practice here is:

• Install Enterprise Manager using the runInstaller GUI (preferable and faster).
• Install Enterprise Manager using the runInstaller with response file (without the user interface).

After that, you may also practice applying the latest Grid Control PSU 11 over the installation.

If you are using the same Virtual Machine to access the Oracle EM Grid Control through Firefox, I also recommend downloading the latest Adobe Flash Plugin RPM for Linux 32 bits and installing using yum. This is necessary to access all the tabs of your EM, specially the Performance one:

• yum install --nogpgcheck ./flash-plugin-11.2.202.429-release.i386.rpm
