Installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) Linux x86
This tutorial contains the following sections:
Purpose
In this tutorial, you learn how to install Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) Linux x86.
Time to Complete
Approximately 2.5 hours.
Overview
Earlier releases of Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control were installed in a single step using Oracle Universal Installer. With the release of Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control is a three step process requiring the installation of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Database prior to installing Grid Control.
Scenario
In this tutorial, you install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.2) Linux x86, Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) Linux x86, and Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) Linux x86.
Software Requirements
The following is a list of software requirements:
- Download Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.1.0) Linux x86 from OTN at this link
- Download Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.2) Linux x86 from OTN at this link
- Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) Linux x86 from OTN at this link
Prerequisites
Before starting this tutorial, you should:
- Have a server with 4G or more RAM
- Complete a default install of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.X (this example uses 5.4) with the oracle-validated RPM installed
- Have 7G of free disk space for the installation software
- Have 14G of free space for installing the software
Note: Screen captures for this tutorial were taken in Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 with a Gnome 2.16 Desktop.
Configuring the Operating System
Installing the oracle-validated RPM installs RPMs required for an Oracle installation as well as creates the operating system user oracle. The lesson uses operating system user oracle to install all the software.
Before installing the software the operating system must be configured. To configure the operating system perform the following steps as operating system user root.

The repository contains a subset of the Enterprise Manager Grid Control functionality. Before Enterprise Manager Grid Control can use the database, the Enterprise Manager Database Control repository must be dropped and the configuration files removed.
