This chapter describes the packages, kernel parameters settings, and libraries required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing a new Enterprise Manager system, an additional Oracle Management Service (OMS), and a standalone Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent).
In particular, this chapter covers the following:
Note:
The packages and libraries are NOT required for Microsoft Windows platforms.This section lists the packages required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing an OMS or a Management Agent. In particular, this section covers the following:
The Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard runs prerequisite checks to verify these packages. If the packages are not found or if the packages are found to be of a lower version than what is required at a minimum, then the wizard prompts you to install the required packages of the required version before proceeding with the installation or upgrade.
The package name contains two parts, mainly the name and the version separated by a hyphen. For example, for libstdc++43-4.3 package, libstdc++43 is the name and 4.3 is the version of the package.
The Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard verifies the package name as well as the version required for a particular platform. For example, if libstdc++43-4.3 is required for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, and if libstdc++46-4.6.1 is found instead, then the wizard will report this as a missing package and prompt you to install libstdc++43-4.3. This is because libstdc++46-4.6.1 is not a higher version of libstdc++43-4.3; libstdc++46 and libstdc++43 are two different packages (the former is 46 and the latter is 43).
You can have a package of a higher version than what is required, but not a different package and not a package of a lower version. For example, if libstdc++43-4.3 is required for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, and if libstdc++43-6.7 is found instead, then the wizard will not report this as an issue, and will pass the prequisite check. This is because, in this case, libstdc++43-6.7 is a higher version of libstdc++43-4.3, which is required at a minimum (the former is 43 and so is the latter).
Therefore, as a prerequisite, make sure you install all the required packages listed in this chapter for your respective platform.
To identify the packages already installed on your system, run the following command. If the command does not list the packages listed in Package Requirements for Oracle Management Service or Package Requirements for Oracle Management Agent, then install them manually.
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n" | grep glibc
The command lists all the packages installed on the system. The 32-bit ones are appended with (i386) or (i686), and the 64-bit ones are appended with (x86_64).
For example, if you run the command on a 32-bit system, you should see something similar to the following:
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43(i386) glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.43(i386) glibc-2.3.4-2.43(i686) compat-glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30(i386) glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.43(i386) glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.43(i386) glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.103.EL(i386) glibc-common-2.3.4-2.43(i386) compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30(i386)
For example, if you run the command on a 64-bit system, you should see something similar to the following:
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64) glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64) glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64) glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64) glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64) glibc-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
pkginfo <package_name>
For example,
pkginfo SUNWbtool
lslpp -l <package name>
For example,
lslpp -l bos.perf.proctools
To determine whether a bundle, product, or fileset is installed, enter the following command, where level is either bundle, product, or fileset:
# /usr/sbin/swlist -l level |more
For example,
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle |grep QPK
Table 3-1 lists the packages required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing a new Enterprise Manager system or an additional OMS.

In addition, install the 32-bit version as well as the 64-bit version of glibc-devel-2.5-49 to avoid any linking errors while installing the OMS. The installer checks for this package, so if this package is not installed, the installer displays an error. |

This section lists the kernel parameters required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing an OMS or a Management Agent. In particular, this section covers the following:
If OMS and Management Repository Are on Different Hosts
If you are installing OMS and Management Repository (database) on different hosts, which are running on Linux operating systems (32-bit or 64-bit), then on the OMS host, set the kernel.shmmax parameter to a value 1 byte less than 4 GB or 4294967295.
Oracle recommends this value to avoid lack of memory issues for other applications and to enable a complete and successful core file generation under any and all circumstances.
To verify the value assigned to kernel.shmmax parameter, run the following command:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
To set the value for kernel.shmmax parameter, run the following command:
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=<new value>
If OMS and Management Repository Are on the Same Host
If you are installing OMS and Management Repository (database) on the same host, which is running on a Linux operating system (32-bit or 64-bit), then set the kernel.shmmax parameter to a value prescribed in the Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux.
There are no kernel parameter requirements for Management Agent.
This section lists the libraries required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing an OMS or a Management Agent. In particular, this section covers the following:
Table 3-3 lists the libraries required on different platforms (32-bit and 64-bit) for installing a new Enterprise Manager system or an additional OMS.
