Configure Oracle Software Library
  1. Oracle Software Library (Software Library) is a repository that stores software patches, virtual appliance images, reference gold images, application software and their associated directive scripts.
    Verify whether you already have the Software Library configured. If not follow the below steps to configure:
    From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then click Software Library.
    From there choose actions > administration.
    If there is nothing configured yet, click Add then choose OMS Shared Filesystem location.






Upon addition of the location, a job executes to configure the Software Library. Under this location, all required entities for EMs features like Provisioning, Patching, and Cloud Management are populated.
Once the job is successful, you will see the components configured in the Software Library.
To view the Software Library, navigate to: Enterprise Manager > Patching and Provisioning > Software Library






  1. Setting up the infrastructure for Online mode

    If the enterprise manager is configured to connect to MOS , plugins or patches can be automatically downloaded. Follow the following sequence of steps ..
    1. Set up connection to MOS (Online Mode)
      Check to see if the connection to My Oracle Support is set to "Online". Navigate to
      Setup > Provisioning and Patching > Offline Patching.



       
    2. The connection setting has to be "Online". If not set, set it to Online and click Apply.



       
    3. Select the adjacent tab My Oracle Support and Proxy Connection



       
    4. Configure your Proxy Connection to connect to My Oracle Support. Provide the required Proxy Server, Port and Realm details, then click Apply.

       
    5. Once the configuration is done, click Test to check if the connectivity works correctly.

  2. Setup MOS(My Oracle Support) Credentials




  3. Deploying the Cloud Plug-ins

    Plug-ins must first be downloaded to the OMS using Self Update before they can be deployed. To enable monitoring of virtualization targets, you must download the plug-ins and deploy them. The following plug-ins must be deployed on the Management Server:
  • Oracle Virtualization
  • Oracle Cloud Application
  • Oracle Chargeback and Capacity Planning
  • Oracle Exalogic


Select one of the above plugins (list specified above) , then click Download. The Schedule Download dialog appears. In this example, "Oracle Virtualization" plug-in is selected.


Then it changes the status from "Available" to "Downloaded"
Repeat the same step to all the other plugins (Oracle Cloud Application, Oracle Chargeback and Capacity Planning, Oracle Exalogic)
Once an entity has been downloaded to the Software Library, it is ready to be applied to your installation. Select an update from the list whose status is Downloaded, then click Apply.




You will be redirected to the plug-in deployment page.


  1. Deploying the Cloud Plug-ins to the Management Server

    Complete the below steps to all the plugins mentioned in step 4.
    Select the plugin and deploy it on OMS. Right click the plugin ->Deploy on->Management server
