Grid Control became Cloud Control (by the way, beta releases were named Grid Control 12g)
Cloud Control 12c is the Oracle Management platform, also called “Enterprise Manager” Cloud Control 12c
Next generation of the Grid Control 10g/11g
It allows to operate/monitor the following components and much more:
Databases & Middleware infrastructures
Exadata infrastructures
Monitoring of SQL Server
Oracle VM infrastructures
etc.

Globally the installation has become much easier
All components are installed smoothly in one step:
JAVA , Weblogic Server, OMS
The only “surprise” comes from the Oracle installation “zip” file you download from Oracle Technet
The “unzip” command provided by Oracle Enterprise Linux is not able to extract these files! The installation crashes!
On AIX 6.1 you have to use the unzip utility and not to use the unzip_AIX downloaded from Oracle Technet

Enterprise Manager 12c binaries are bigger than 11g version
JDK, WebLogic and EM 12c are installed by a single installer
Installer 12c needs less inputs and has less install screens than in previous versions (10g/11g)

Cloud Control 12c
Installation
www.dbi-services.com 9 26.04.2012
A lot of pre-requisites checks during installation
12c 11g
Checking if Oracle software certified on the current O/S X X
Checking for required packages installed on the system X X
Checking whether required GLIBC installed on the system X X
Checking for sufficient disk space in TEMP location X X
Checking for sufficient disk space in Inventory location X X
Checking whether the software is compatible for current O/S X X
Checking for TZ region X -
Checking for sufficient physical memory X X
Checking for sufficient swap space X -
Checking for required ulimit value X X
Checking for the Hostname X X
Checking for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable X -

Installation of Cloud Control 12c became much easier than Grid Control 11g
Weblogic Server fully integrated (no need to install a WLS server before), even better no need to Patch!
8 installation screens instead of 13 (for Grid Control 11g)
Lots of prerequisites checks
Grid Control 12c needs more resources

Several methods are available to deploy the agents
Setup discovery using IP scan (not agent based)
Multiple Target Discovery on single host (agent based)
Add targets manually
Silent mode using emcli
RPM method (only on Linux)
Agent 12c not yet available on Windows (Q4 2012)

To deploy the agent on a target, we have first to discover a host manually :
© dbi services
The deployment procedure uses named credentials
Oracle uses /usr/local/bin/sudo, a symbolic link solves the problem

An older release of the agent cannot be present on the system, you have to un-install or remove it from inventory

Remote prerequisites checks are performed:

Finally the agent is configured on the target host:

Once the agent is installed on the future managed host we can add non host targets:

|_____core |_____ agentpatch
|_____12.1.0.1.0 |_____ bin
|_____plugins |_____ ccr

|_____sbin |_____ sysman
|_____agentimage.properties |_____ xdk

Silent mode is an alternative to add an agent using the add host target wizard:
1. Configure emcli on the OMS host
2. Download the agent software on the OMS server using emcli get_agentimage
3. Transfer the zip file to the future managed host where you want to install the agent
4. Configure the agent.rsp response file
5. Install the agent using agentdeploy.sh

With Linux it is possible to use a RPM based installation
Mandatory to have the /usr/lib/oracle directory and the rpm-build package installed
We use emcli on the OMS host to generate a RPM image :
1. We copy and uncompress the rpm generated file on the future managed host, and configure /usr/lib/oracle/agent.properties
2. We run /etc/init.d/config.pl to install and configure the agent
3. We have to create the /usr/lib/oracle directory with the correct permissions on the future managed host
4. The rpm-build package must also be installed

Deployment to multiple servers in single step
1. Remote prerequisite checks
2. Automatically register agent with OMS
3. Retry/continue from failure
4. Control operations from GUI and EMCLI

Service Management Oriented features and layout (i.e. Incident and problem management), see demo later on
Better integration with My Oracle Support (i.e. ORA-XXX errors are directly linked to corresponding My Oracle Support notes)
Improved help and documentation

Administration Groups and Template Collections improve the management of targets and eases the monitoring strategy
Administration Groups (improvement of Grid 11g Target Groups) can be defined in hierarchies (properties of the parents inherited by the Childs)

Templates collections are composed of “monitoring templates” (of several types), “compliance standards” and “cloud policies”
Both together provide default monitoring and management settings to the deployed targets
They allow to remain targets in sync (i.e. no monitoring metrics differences)
Template collections can be affected to any level of the Administration Group Hierarchy
45 default Oracle monitoring templates are provided with Cloud Control 12c (HTTP server, agent, Weblogic, aso …)
Several templates can be “loaded” within one template collection
