Install gc agent on client is getting 'Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory'(redhat 5.3_x8

在使用远程安装gc clinet的agent时,执行agentDownload.linux命令,遇到了"Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory"的错误,本文描述了解决这个问题的方法和步骤.

主要的方法是: 修改/etc/oraInst.loc文件,将本次agent安装的日志存放在一个新的目录中(本次为/oracle/oraInventory2)

另外的一个方法: 备份旧的inventory内容,清空inventory 目录,完成安装后,恢复回来.

一. 问题描述:

Oms server:

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.5.0

$ rm -rf *

$unzip /setup/Linux_Grid_Control_agent_download_10_2_0_5_0.zip -d /oracle/OracleHomes/sysman/agent_download/10.2.0.5.0

$cp agent_download.rsp.bak agent_download.rsp

Gc client:

$mkdir /oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g

$cd /oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g

$rm -rf *

二. 问题分析与解决

尝试了几次从远程安装agent都失败,都报"Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory"错误.

在网站找到一个朋友的提示,可能是inventory的问题,尝试修改inventory,获得的安装成功.

两个修改inventory 的方法:

方法一. 使用root用户身份,修改/etc/oraInst.loc 文件,

#vi /etc/oraInst.loc

Modify:

inventory_loc=/oracle/oraInventory

inst_group=oinstall

To:

inventory_loc=/oracle/oraInventory2

inst_group=oinstall

方法二. 备份inventory目录后,清空该目录,安装完成后,再恢复回去.

$tar -cvf /setup/oraInventory_old.tar /oracle/oraInventory

$rm -rf /oracle/oraInventory/*

...

然后执行安装

Gc client:

$rm -rf /oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/*

$cd /oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g

$wget http://ocmdb2:4889/agent_download/10.2.0.5.0/linux/agentDownload.linux

$chmod u+x agentDownload.linux

$export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g

$./agentDownload.linux -b /oracle/OracleHomes -m ocmdb2 -r 4889

……

#Root script to run

/oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/root.sh

To execute the configuration scripts:

1. Open a terminal window

2. Log in as "root"

3. Run the scripts

打开一个窗口,使用root身份,运行/oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/root.sh

$cd /oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/bin

$./emctl secure agent

[oracle@ocmdb1 bin]$ ./emctl secure agent

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 5 Grid Control 10.2.0.5.0.

Copyright (c) 1996, 2009 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Agent successfully stopped... Done.

Securing agent... Started.

Enter Agent Registration Password :

Agent successfully restarted... Done.

Securing agent... Successful.

到此安装完成.

三 . 问题总结:

通过以上的操作,我们基本上明白了,错误之源在于oraInventory目录的设置,只需要修改/etc/oraInst.loc文件,将本次agent安装的日志存放在一个新的目录中(本次为/oracle/oraInventory2),与原来安装DB的inventory分开,就可以避免报"Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory"错误.这个问题在redhat 5.3_x86上遇到,在redhat5.3 x86_64位上好像没有遇到,也许是oracle的安装程序脚本存在一些bug.
