OEM 12c Cloud Control – Agent Silent installation using Response File
We have come across OEM agent installation from the Cloud Control tool. This article demonstrates on how to install 12c cloud control agent uisng “silent” mode which makes use of the “response” file.
Environment details is as follows:
OMS hostname : ora1-2 Agent will be deployed on : ora1-1
Below is the details of the OMS status. This is checked from the OMS server.
[oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ ./emctl status oms -details Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 4 Copyright (c) 1996, 2014 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

[oracle@ora1-2 bin]$
Login to the “Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface” client from the OMS host with username as SYSMAN and it’s password.
[oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ pwd /u01/app/oracle/oms12c/oms/bin [oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ [oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ ./emcli login -username=sysman -password=Micromot10n Login successful
Once logged in successfully, synchronize the EMCLI.
[oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ ./emcli sync Synchronized successfully [oracle@ora1-2 bin]$
Identify the list of Operating Systems for which the Agent software is available. This can be obtained by running the “get_supported_platforms” from the EMCLI interface.
[oracle@ora1-2 bin]$ ./emcli get_supported_platforms ----------------------------------------------- Version = 12.1.0.4.0 Platform = Linux x86-64 ----------------------------------------------- Platforms list displayed successfully.
Get the Agent software for the required Operating system by specifying the “platform” option and the relevant agent version by passing “version” option.
The image will be saved on to the OMS host at the location specifed under the “destination” option. Here, I’m getting the AgentImage for “Linux x86-64” platform and of version “12.1.0.4.0” as stated above and saving the AgentImage to “/u03/agent_software” location on the OMS host.

Copy this downloaded AgentImage on to the target server where the Agent needs to be installed. In my case, it’s host ora1-1 where the agent will be installed.

Edit the “agent.rsp” (AgentResponseFile) to add the details such as OMS Hostname, EM Upload Port (the HTTPS port number of OMS), Agent Registration Password (used to secure the agent), Agent Instance Home location, Agent Port number (port where Agent process will be started),b_startAgent (True if the agent needs to be started automatically after installed and configured, ORACLE_HOSTNAME (host name of the target server where the agent will be installed), s_agentHomeName (name for the Agent Home).

The Agent configuration failed with error “ERROR: Agent Configuration Failed SEVERE:emctl secure agent command has failed with status=1SEVERE:emctl secure agent command has failed with status=1SEVERE:emctl secure agent command has failed with status=1”. This error signifies that the configuration failed while securing the agent.
Does that mean that the agent is not installed ? Let’s check the status and try securing the agent manually.

The agent is installed but seems to be not running. Expected.
Not sure why the “agentdeploy” script failed securing the agent even though the Agent_Registration_Password is right. Let me try securing it manually with the same password.

Ok, good to see that it’s success 🙂
