Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g is out and looks promising. Oracle Enterprise Manager allows you to monitor your databases from a single web based interface. You can see performance matrix as well as deploy patches and upgrades. I have only used EM to manage databases, but you can also use it for applications, middleware, hardware, as well as the OS.
EM is the base application and from there you can add different “packs” including
- Change Management Pack
- Configuration Management Pack
- Data Masking Pack
- Diagnostic Pack
- Provisioning Pack
- Tuning Pack
Starting the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent in 11g
Do you need to start the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent in an 11g grid control environment? It’s pretty simple, here is the command.
emctl start agent
The biggest issue I see with this is people using the wrong emctl executable. Very often you will have a multiple executables. You may possibly have an emctl in your Oracle home for your database and a separate executable in another home that was setup for grid control. Make sure you are running the correct emctl executable.
