ORACLE_MIDDLEWARE_HOME_LOCATION

Enter the location where you want the installer to install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.5) and Java Development Kit 1.6 v24.

For example, /u01/app/Oracle/Middleware.

Ensure that the middleware location has write permission. And that this is not an NFS-mounted location.

If you have already installed them manually, then enter the location where you have installed them.

For more information about this location, see What Is Oracle Middleware Home?.

Note: Ensure that the Middleware home you enter here is used only for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. Ensure that no other Oracle Fusion Middleware products or components are installed in the same Middleware home.

Note: (Only for Microsoft Windows) Ensure that the number of characters in the middleware home path does not exceed 25 characters. For example, the middleware home path C:\Oracle\MW\EM containing only 15 characters is acceptable. However, C:\Oracle\MW\new\EM\dir\a123 containing more than 25 characters is not acceptable.

AGENT_BASE_DIR

Enter the absolute path to the agent base directory, a location outside the Oracle Middleware home where the Management Agent can be installed.

For example, /oracle/agent.

Ensure that this location is empty and has write permission. Also ensure that it is always maintained outside the Oracle Middleware home.

Note: (Only for Microsoft Windows) Ensure that the number of characters in the agent base directory path does not exceed 25 characters. For example, the agent base directory path C:\Oracle\Agent\ containing only 16 characters is acceptable. However, C:\Oracle\ManagementAgent\12c\new containing more than 25 characters is not acceptable.

ORACLE_HOSTNAME

Enter the fully qualified name of the host where you want to configure the OMS. The host name can also be a virtual host name if your host is configured with virtual machine. Ensure that the host name you enter is accessible from other hosts in the network (other hosts must be able to ping this host).

If you do not mention the host name, the installation wizard will proceed further, honoring the host name it automatically detects for that host.

WLS_ADMIN_SERVER_USERNAME

By default, weblogic is the name assigned to the default user account that is created for the Oracle WebLogic Domain. If you want to accept the default name, then skip this variable. However, if you want to have a custom name, then enter the name of your choice.

WLS_ADMIN_SERVER_PASSWORD

Enter a password for the WebLogic user account.

Ensure that your password contains at least 8 characters without any spaces, begins with a letter, and includes at least one numeric value.

WLS_ADMIN_SERVER_CONFIRM_PASSWORD

Confirm the password for the WebLogic user account.

NODE_MANAGER_PASSWORD

By default, nodemanager is the name assigned to the default user account that is created for the node manager. Enter a password for this node manager user account.

Ensure that your password contains at least 8 characters without any spaces, begins with a letter, and includes at least one numeric value.

NODE_MANAGER_CONFIRM_PASSWORD

Confirm the password for the node manager user account.

ORACLE_INSTANCE_HOME_LOCATION

By default, gc_inst is considered as the OMS Instance Base directory for storing all OMS-related configuration files, and it is created in the Middleware home. If you want to accept the default location and the directory name, then skip this variable. However, if you want to have a custom location and a custom directory name, then enter the absolute path to the custom location leading up to the custom directory name.

For more information about this location, see What Is Oracle Management Service Instance Base Location?.

Note: If you have entered an NFS-mounted drive for the ORACLE_MIDDLEWARE_HOME_LOCATION parameter, then ensure that the location you enter for this parameter is a non-NFS-mounted location.

DATABASE_HOSTNAME

Enter the fully qualified name of the host where the existing database resides. Ensure that the host name does not have underscores.

For example, example.com

If you have already created a database instance with a preconfigured Management Repository using the database templates offered by Oracle, then provide details about that database instance.

If you are connecting to an Oracle RAC Database, and if the nodes have virtual host names, then enter the virtual host name of one of its nodes.

The connection to the database is established with a connect string that is formed using only this virtual host name, and the installation ends successfully.

However, if you want to update the connect string with other nodes of the cluster, then after the installation, run the following command:

$<OMS_HOME>/bin/emctl config oms -store_repos_details -repos_conndesc "(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS_LIST=(FAILOVER=ON) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node1-vip.example.com)(PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=node2-vip.example.com)(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=EMREP)))" -repos_user sysman

If your Oracle RAC database is configured with Single Client Access Name (SCAN) listener, then you can enter a connection string using the SCAN listener.

Note: If you connect to a database instance that was created using the database template offered by Oracle, then note that the password assigned to the user accounts SYSMAN_MDS, SYSMAN_APM, and SYSMAN_OPSS, which were created while preconfiguring the Management Repository, are automatically reset with the SYSMAN password you enter for the SYSMAN_PASSWORD parameter.

LISTENER_PORT

Enter the listener port to connect to the existing database.

For example, 1521

SERVICENAME_OR_SID

Enter the service name or the system ID (SID) of the existing database.

For example, orcl

SYS_PASSWORD

Enter the SYS user account's password.

DEPLOYMENT_SIZE

Set one of the following values to indicate the number of targets you plan to monitor, the number Management Agents you plan to have, and the number of concurrent user sessions you plan have.

• Small, to monitor up to 999 targets, with up to 99 Management Agents and up to 10 concurrent user sessions

• Medium, to monitor about 1000 to 9999 targets, with about 100 to 999 Management Agents and about 10 to 24 concurrent user sessions

• Large, to monitor 10,000 or more targets, with 1000 or more Management Agents, and with about 25 to 50 concurrent user sessions

The prerequisite checks are run regardless of the selection you make, but the values to be set for the various parameters checked depend on the selection you make.

You can also modify the deployment size after the installation.

For more information on deployment sizes, the prerequisite checks that are run, the database parameters that are set, and how you can modify the deployment size after installation, refer to What is a Deployment Size?.

SYSMAN_PASSWORD

Enter a password for creating a SYSMAN user account. This password is used to create the SYSMAN user, which is the primary owner of the Management Repository schema.

Ensure that your password contains at least 8 characters without any spaces, begins with a letter, and includes at least one numeric value.

If you connect to a database instance that was created using the database template offered by Oracle, then note that the password assigned to the user accounts SYSMAN_MDS, SYSMAN_APM, and SYSMAN_OPSS, which were created while preconfiguring the Management Repository, are automatically reset with the SYSMAN password you enter for this parameter.

SYSMAN_CONFIRM_PASSWORD

Confirm the SYSMAN user account's password.

MANAGEMENT_TABLESPACE_LOCATION

Enter the absolute path to the location where the data file (mgmt.dbf) for management tablespace can be stored. Ensure that the specified path leads up to the file name.

For example:

• If the database is on a file system, then the path must look like /u01/oracle/prod/oradata/mgmt.dbf

• If the database is on Automatic Storage Management (ASM), then the path must look like +<disk_group1>/prod/oradata/mgmt.dbf, where disk_group1 is a diskgroup created on ASM and prod is the Service ID (SID).

• If the database is on a raw device, then the path must look like </dev/raw1>/prod/oradata/mgmt.dbf, where /dev/raw1 is the raw device and prod is the SID.

Enterprise Manager Cloud Control requires this data file to store information about the monitored targets, their metrics, and so on. Essentially, everything else other than configuration data, software library data, and audit data.

CONFIGURATION_DATA_TABLESPACE_LOCATION

Enter the absolute path to the location where the data file (mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf) for configuration data tablespace can be stored. Ensure that the specified path leads up to the file name.

For example, /home/john/oradata/mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf

Enterprise Manager Cloud Control requires this data file to store configuration information collected from the monitored targets.

JVM_DIAGNOSTICS_TABLESPACE_LOCATION

Enter the absolute path to a location where the data file (mgmt_ad4j.dbf) for JVM Diagnostics data tablespace can be stored. Ensure that the specified path leads up to the file name.

For example, /home/john/oradata/mgmt_ad4j.dbf

Enterprise Manager Cloud Control requires this data file to store monitoring data related to JVM Diagnostics and Application Dependency Performance (ADP).

AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD

Enter a password to secure the communication between the OMS and the Management Agents. Note that you have to provide the same registration password for securing your Management Agents.

AGENT_REGISTRATION_CONFIRM_PASSWORD

Confirm the agent registration password.

STATIC_PORTS_FILE

By default, ports described in What Ports Are Used for Installation? are honored. If you want to accept the default ports, then leave this field blank.

If you want to use custom ports, then enter the absolute path to the staticports.ini file that lists the custom ports to be used for the installation.

PLUGIN_SELECTION

By default, mandatory plug-ins such as Oracle Database Management Plug-In, Oracle Fusion Middleware Management Plug-In, Oracle My Oracle Support Management Plug-In, and Oracle Exadata Management Plug-In get automatically installed with the Enterprise Manager system.

However, if you want to install any of the other optional plug-ins that are available in the software kit (DVD or downloaded software), then enter the names of those plug-ins for this variable.

For example,

PLUGIN_SELECTION={"oracle.sysman.empa","oracle.sysman.vt"}

If you want to install any plug-in that is not available in the software kit, then do the following:

1. Manually download the plug-ins from the Enterprise Manager download page on OTN, and store them in an accessible location:

   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/oem-upgrade-console-502238.html

2. Update this variable (PLUGIN_SELECTION) to the names of those plug-ins you downloaded.

3. Invoke the installer with the following option, and pass the location where you downloaded the plug-ins:

   ./runInstaller -pluginLocation <absolute_path_to_plugin_software_location>
