Configure Oracle Software Library

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

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.
Setup MOS(My Oracle Support) Credentials
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.

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

Plugin pre-requisites will be executed. After successful pre-requisite checks, click on deploy.
NOTE : OMS will be bounced now.
Once the OMS is up, navigate to Setup->Extensibility->Plug-in . The Plugin version on OMS is now 12.1.0.2.

Deploying the Oracle Virtualization Plug-in to the Management Agent

Click on Add to add the management agent where plugin will be deployed

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.

4.4 Kernel Parameter Requirements:

For installing an OMS or a Management Agent on Unix operating systems (32-bit or 64-bit), set the kernel.shmmax parameter to a value 1 byte less than 4 GB or 4294967295.

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>

4.5. Library Requirements :

Ensure that you check the network configuration to verify that the host on which you are installing resolves to a unique host name and a static IP address that is visible to other hosts in the network.

You must use a static IP address. If you use a dynamic IP address, the installation might fail.

Ensure that the host name specified in /etc/hosts file is unique, and that it maps to the correct IP address. Following is the recommended format of the /etc/hosts file:

If the DNS server is configured, then it should resolve the host name for the OMS machine correctly. For example, all these command must return the same output:

nslookup host1nslookup host1.foo.comnslookup 141.81.5.71

4.8. Temporary Directory Space Requirements :

Ensure that you allocate 400 MB of space for a temporary directory where the executables can be copied.

4.9. Central Inventory Requirements :

Ensure that you allocate 100 MB of space for the central inventory directory.

Also ensure that the central inventory directory is not on a shared file system. If it is already on a shared file system, then switch over to a non-shared file system by following the instructions outlined in My Oracle Support note 1092645.1.

To determine whether the Oracle Inventory group exists, enter the following command:

$ more /etc/oraInst.loc If the oraInst.loc file exists, then the output from this command looks like: inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory inst_group=oinstall

4.10.UMASK Value Requirements:

Ensure that you set the default file mode creation mask (umask) to 022 in the shell startup file.

4.11.File Descriptor Requirements :

If the current value is less than 4096, then as root user, update the /etc/security/limits.conf file as shown below:

<UID> soft nofile 4096 <UID> hard nofile 4096

If you use Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1), then ensure that you apply the patches for bugs 10014178 and 8799099.

If you use Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7), then ensure that you apply Patch Set Update 2 and the patches for bugs 8644757 and 7525072.

The database can also have the Automatic Memory Management (AMM) feature enabled.

4.13. Host File Requirements :

Ensure that the host name specified in the /etc/hosts file is unique, and ensure that it maps to the correct IP address of that host. Otherwise, the installation can fail on the product-specific prerequisite check page.

The following is the recommended format of the /etc/hosts file:

4.14. Port Requirements :

Ensure that the ports you assign (within the given range) to the following components are free and available:

Admin Server HTTP SSL Port = 7101 - 7200
Enterprise Manager Upload HTTP Port = 4889 - 4898
Enterprise Manager Upload HTTP SSL Port = 1159, 4899 - 4908
Enterprise Manager Central Console HTTP Port = 7788 - 7798
Enterprise Manager Central Console HTTP SSL Port = 7799 - 7809

Renaming A Datafile In A Physical Standby Environment

Written By askMLabs on Monday, February 20, 2012 | 2:45 PM

In this article we will see how to rename a datafile in a physical standby setup. Most structural changes made to a primary database are automatically propagated through redo data to a physical standby database. Some structural and configuration changes at primary database requires manual intervention at a physical standby database.

When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.

1. Verify primary and standby databases and also change the initialization parameter STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT from AUTO to MANUAL.

On Primary :

Using expdp To Export From Physical Standby Database

Written By askMLabs on Thursday, February 16, 2012 | 2:08 PM

In this article, we will discuss the steps to use expdp on physical standby database. There may be some situations where you don’t want your production database loaded with the expdp operation. The other option you have in a standby setup is that you can use your standby database for export operations. But in a physical standby database, the database is in recovery mode and if we want to open the database for expdp operation, we can open the physical standby database in read only mode. Expdp operation needs to create and maintain a master table which needs requires the physical standby database opened in read write mode.

So we have an option in expdp to export standby database. We can use expdp parameter NETWORK_LINK from any non standby database to export database.

Verify primary and Standby Databases

Cancel recovery and Open standby database in Read only Mode

Create a physical directory on primary server to keep export dump files

Create DB Link, Oracle Directory and test it.

Execute expdp on primary server.

1. Verify primary and Standby Databases :

On Primary :

On Standby :

SQL> select name,user,database_role,switchover_status from v$database;

NAME      USER                           DATABASE_ROLE    SWITCHOVER_STATUS
--------- ------------------------------ ---------------- --------------------
ORCL      SYS                            PHYSICAL STANDBY NOT ALLOWED

SQL> select name,db_unique_name,database_role,switchover_status from v$database;

NAME      DB_UNIQUE_NAME                 DATABASE_ROLE    SWITCHOVER_STATUS
--------- ------------------------------ ---------------- --------------------
ORCL      sbyorcl                        PHYSICAL STANDBY NOT ALLOWED

SQL> archive log list
Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            /home/oracle/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/sbyorcl/
Oldest online log sequence     522
Next log sequence to archive   0
Current log sequence           524
SQL>

2. Cancel recovery and Open standby database in Read only Mode :

SQL> select instance_name, status from v$instance;

INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS
---------------- ------------
sbyorcl          MOUNTED

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database open read only;

Database altered.

SQL> select instance_name, status from v$instance;

INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS
---------------- ------------
sbyorcl          OPEN

SQL> select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE
--------------------
READ ONLY

SQL>

3. Create a physical directory on primary server to keep export dump files :

[oracle@dgaskmpri01 ~]$ mkdir /tmp/askm
[oracle@dgaskmpri01 ~]$ chmod 777 /tmp/askm
[oracle@dgaskmpri01 ~]$

4. Create DB Link, Oracle Directory and test it :

[oracle@dgaskmpri01 ~]$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'

I got error while exporting the database. This is identified as bug in 10g and 11gR1. As per the oracle documentation, it is rectified in 11gR2, but I am still getting this issue on 11gR2. I need to further investigate it. Comments and Feedbacks are accepted pls Smile

Creating Snapshot Standby Database

Written By askMLabs on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 | 12:00 PM

In this article we will see the detailed steps to create a snapshot standby database. Snapshot standby database is new in database 11g and we will create snapshot standby database from physical standby database. This snapshot standby database is fully updatable database and it is opened for read write operation. When the snapshot database is created from physical standby database, redo logs are still transferred to standby site but are not applied.

The practical use of snapshot standby database is in the situation where if you want to clone a production database for testing something, you can convert physical standby database to snapshot standby database which is as close as to the production database wrt data, do required testing on the snapshot standby database and convert it back to physical standby database. When you convert the snapshot standby database back to the physical standby database, all the modifications done to snapshot database will be lost and it is synchronized with the primary database by applying all the pending redo logs transferred but not applied on the standby database.

I assume that I have a physical standby database setup and data guard broker is configured to manage standby database.

Convert Physical Standby Database To Snapshot Database
Verify Snapshot Standby Database
Do Some Testing In Snapshot Database
Convert Snapshot Database Back To Physical Standby Database
Verify the Modifications Done In Step 3.

1. Convert Physical Standby Database To Snapshot Database :

[oracle@dgaskmpri01 ~]$ dgmgrl

3. Do Some Testing In Snapshot Database :
For testing on snapshot standby database, I will do the following modifications on the snapshot standby database and verify the same changes again after converting snapshot database back to physical standby database.

Drop any existing user
Create a new tablespace
Resize datafile size
