Grid Control 11g Agent Installation on HP Service Guard

The Grid Control 11g agent installation steps are similar to those of an installation on a regular host, with a couple of additions. You will want to make sure the agent is installed in the package itself and all references to the physical host name are replaced with the package name. In this article my package name is "mypackage.example.com".

Log on to Grid Control.
Navigate to the agent installation screen (Deployments > Install Agent > Fresh Install).

Fill in the typical values, using the package name in place of the machine name.

Platform: HP_IA64
Provide Host List: mypackage.example.com
Credentials:
  Username: oracle
  Password: mypassword
  Confirm : mypassword
  Run root.sh: uncheck
Install Base Directory: /u01/app/oracle/product
Port: 3872

In the "Additional Parameters" box, enter the location of the "oraInst.loc" file and the ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable, set to the package name.
```
-i /u01/app/oracle/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOSTNAME=mypackage.example.com
```
Proceed as normal. The additional parameters make the agent use the package alias as the hostname, rather than picking up the physical host.
Once complete, run the "root.sh" file.

Edit the "AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties" file, setting the following.

AgentListenOnAllNICs=FALSE 
EMD_URL=http://mypackage.example.com:3872/emd/main/

Edit the "AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml" file. Change any references to the real hostname for the package name. For example.
```
<Target TYPE="host" NAME="mypackage.example.com"/>
```
Remove any additional references to targets not related to this package.

Reload the agent.

$ emctl reload agent
$ emctl upload agent

Make sure the agent entry is in the "/etc/oratab" for both nodes.
