Configuring Privilege Delegation in Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64, Oracle Solaris 10 x64 and OEM Cloud Control 12c Release 3

In order to provide root privileges to an ordinary user, we need to delegate them to the user. 'sudo' command can be used to accomplish this, but is, by default, not configured for ordinary users such as 'oracle'.

In my tutorial below, I will demonstrate to you how to configure the 'sudo' command for ordinary users such as 'oracle'. I will subsequently demonstrate how to configure privilege delegation in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 too.

Time Duration: 30 Minutes

Deploying Oracle Management Agent 12c Remotely on Oracle Solaris 10 x64 using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3

A great feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 is that it allows you to remotely deploy the Oracle Management Agent 12c to targets running various operating systems such as Redhat Enterprise Linux Server, Oracle Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows Server and IBM AIX, as long as you can communicate with the Secure Shell (SSH) ports of the remote targets.

Such a feature can be really helpful in a data center environment, where you may have a myriad targets mostly located in the data center, or perhaps may be even spread across multiple geographically disparate data centers, as it can help to automate the deployment of the management agents across all targets.

In my tutorial below, I will demonstrate to you how to remotely deploy an Oracle Management Agent 12c onto an Oracle Solaris 10 x64 target present in the local area network of the Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64, using OEM Cloud Control 12c R3.

Time Duration: 30 to 60 minutes (45 minutes on an average!)

Configuring a New Enterprise Manager System in OEM Cloud Control 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3.0) on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64

Configuring a new enterprise manager system in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64 is another tedious task that needs some careful planning and neat execution. It is also a very time consuming process that will require your attention initially, but once you let the configuration process initiate, it will occur on its own and will allow you to get some relief too.

The process also requires many prerequisites such as creating an Oracle Management Repository database and then installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3, but the benefits of setting up the enterprise manager system in your data center are obviously surplus!

In my tutorial below, I will demonstrate to you how to configure a new enterprise manager system in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c R3 on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64.

Time Duration: 3 to 3.5 hours (3.25 hours on an average without prerequisites!)

The time duration with the prerequisites is around 5 to 6 hours.

Installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3.0) on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64

Installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3.0) on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64 is a very tedious and time-consuming process that needs some careful planning and neat execution. This is because not only is the OEM CC 12c R3 software huge in size to download, but it also requires a lot of resources in terms of CPU, RAM and disk space, as well as OS parameter tuning and OS package installation.

According to Oracle Corporation, Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracle’s integrated enterprise IT management product line, which provides the industry’s only complete, integrated and business-driven enterprise cloud management solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager creates business value from IT by leveraging the built-in management capabilities of the Oracle stack for traditional and cloud environments, allowing customers to achieve unprecedented efficiency gains while dramatically increasing service levels.

In my tutorial below, I will demonstrate to you how to install OEM CC 12c R3 on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 x86-64.

Time Duration: 45 to 60 minutes (software installation only)
