Prerequisites

The prerequisites for each platform vary, so it is not worth trying to specify them in this article. Instead, refer to the Prerequisites for your platform in the installation guide. For the most part, if you already have an Oracle product installed on the server, the chances are you have already met all the prerequisites.

Start the installer using the following command.

$ cd /host/software/oracle/GridControl/10205_agent/linux_x64/agent
$ ./runInstaller

Accept the "Additional Management Agent" option by clicking the "Next" button.

Enter a suitable parent directory, then click the "Next" button.

Specify Installation Location

Enter the email and My Oracle Support details if desired, then click the "Next" button. If you choose not to enter the details, click the "Yes" button on the subsequent message.

Support

Wait while the prerequisite checks are performed. If any fail, correct the issue before proceeding by clicking the "Next" button.

Product Specific Prerequisite Checks

Pick the required language support, then click the "Next" button.

Language Selection

Enter the management server name and port, then click the "Next" button.

Specify Agent Registration Password

If you are happy with the summary information, click the "Install" button.

Summary

Wait while the installation completes.

Install

When prompted, run the configuration script as the "root" user, then click the "OK" button.

Execute Configuration Scripts

Wait while the configuration assistants complete.

Configuration Assistants

If the Agent Configuration Assistant fails to start the agent with a timezone error, enter the correct value for the "agentTZRegion" parameter in the "$AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties" file, delete the following files and retry the configuration step.

$ rm -r /u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/emd/state/*
$ rm -r /u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/emd/collection/*
