11g Agent Deployment from GRID

11g Management Agent Deployment via Grid Control using the ‘Push’  Method

The 11g management agent  cannot be directly installed using the Oracle Universal Installer GUI as in the 10g version  of the product. We can use any of the following methods to deploy the agent on target nodes.

1) Agent Pull method
2) Agent Push method
3) Agent clone.

This note shows us how to deploy the agent from the EM Grid Control interface.

From the Deployment tab in the EM Grid Console, click on Install Agent (under Agent Installation) and then Fresh Install.

Enter the following details :

— The host where we want to deploy the agent
— The OS user account and password on the target machine
— The top level path of the directory under which the ‘agent11g’ sub-directory will be created.
— Management Server registration password

Since the user account we are using does not have the privilege to do a sudo, uncheck the run root.sh box. Remember we will need to run the root.sh from the agent home on the target after the installation.

Since our OMS is secured, enter the Management Server registration password for the agent to connect to repository in the secure mode. This password will be the one we supplied at the time of the 11g EM Grid Control installation.

Agents we will install on each server. So we need to unzip the software in one staging directory. Later we can start The below method to install agent by PUSH method.
