Software
Download the following software:
Oracle Linux 6 or 7 (x86_64)
Oracle Database (x86_64) 12.1.0.2 Enterprise Edition
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1 (13.1.0.0) (x86_64)
13.1.0.0 DB Template for EM 13.1.0.0 on Linux x86-64
OS Installation
Install Oracle Linux (OL) in the same way you would for a regular Oracle Database
installation. You can see examples of this type of installation below. R
emember to check database installation article (listed below) for the specific
package group selection.
Oracle Linux 6.x Installation
Oracle Linux 7.x Installation
During this installation I used a virtual machine with 10G RAM and 100G disk space.
The swap size was set at 8G, the firewall was disabled and SELinux was set to
permissive.
Database Installation (Software-Only)
For this installation you will need 12.1.0.2 for the repository database, so use
the installation instructions from one of the following articles.
Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) Installation On Oracle Linux 6
Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) Installation On Oracle Linux 7
The installation documentation says the following packages are necessary for the
cloud control installation. If you have performed the database installation as
described in one of the above articles, most of these prerequisites will already
have been met.
# OL6 and OL7
yum install make -y
yum install binutils -y
yum install gcc -y
yum install libaio -y
yum install glibc-common -y
yum install libstdc++ -y
yum install libXtst -y
yum install sysstat -y
yum install glibc -y
yum install glibc-devel -y
yum install glibc-devel.i686 -y
The database software installation is now complete.
Repository Database Creation Using Template
In this article, we are going to use the repository template to create the
repository database. If you are creating the database manually, remember to check
all the prerequisites here, some of which include the following.
Database version 12.1.0.2 Enterprise Edition.
You can use a Non-CDB database, or a PDB if you are not using the template to
build the repository. The database template provided by Oracle used in this article
is still a non-CDB database.
The OPTIMIZER_ADAPTIVE_FEATURES initialization parameter should be set to
FALSE.
Character set AL32UTF8.
The template includes all the relevant database settings, but make sure the
character set is selected using the creation, as described below.
Unzip the repository template under the ORACLE_HOME.
Make the following directories to hold the management server and agent. There are
some restrictions on the possible path lengths, so dont make the directory
structure too deep, especially for Windows installations.
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/middleware
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/agent
At the time of writing, the installation fails with prerequisite checks if you
install it on OL6.8, but works on OL6.7.
You can fix this by editing the "/etc/oracle-release" and "/etc/redhat-release"
files setting the version number to 6.7. Remember to switch it back once the
installation is complete.
Start the installation by running the "em13100_linux64.bin" file.
$ chmod u+x em13100_linux64.bin
$ ./em13100_linux64.bin
If you wish to receive support information, enter the required details, or uncheck
the security updates checkbox and click the "Next" button. Click the "Yes" button
the subsequent warning dialog.
My Oracle Support Details
If you wish to check for updates, enter the required details, or check the "Skip"
option and click the "Next" button.
Software Updates
If you have performed the prerequisites as described, the installation should pass
all prerequisite checks. Click the "Next" button. In this case I got a warning on
the kernel parameters because my "ip_local_port_range" was larger than the required
range. I also got a warning about the physical memory, as I was using a VM with
less than the recommended memory. I ignored both by clicking the "Ignore" button,
then the subsequent "OK" button, then the "Next" button.
Prerequisite Checks
Select the "Create a new Enterprise Manager System" and "Simple" options, then
click the "Next" button.
Install Types
Enter the middleware and agent locations, then click the "Next" button.
Installation Details
Enter the administrator password and database repository details, then click the
"Next" button.
Configuration Details
Enter a location for the software library. If you are using multiple management
servers, you will need to configure shared storage for BI Publisher. For this
installation I unchecked the "Configure a Shared Location for Oracle BI Publisher"
option, but left the "Enable Oracle BI Publisher" option checked. Click the "Next"
button.
Shared Location Details
If you are happy with the review information, click the "Install" button.
Review
Wait while the installation and configuration take place. Notice the "Repository
Out Of Box Configuration" step. If we had not used the database template, this
would read "Repository Configuration" and the contents of the repository would be
created from scratch.
Installation Progress Details
When prompted, run the root scripts, then click the "OK" button.
Root Scripts
Make note of the URLs, then click the "Close" button to exit the installer. A copy
of this information is available in the
"/u01/app/oracle/middleware/install/setupinfo.txt" file.
Finish
The login screen is available from a browser using the URL provided in the previous
screen ("https://ol7-emcc.localdomain:7803/em"). Log in with the username "sysman"
and the password you specified during your installation.
Login
Once logged in, you are presented with a with the "Accessibility Preference"
screen. Click the "Save and Continue" button and you are presented with the the
"License Agreement" screen. Click the "I Accept" button and you are presented with
the homepage selector screen. On the right side of the screen it lists the post-
installation setup tasks you need to work through. I have these documented in a
separate article. Select the desired homepage (I chose Summary).
Homepage Selector
You are presented with the selected screen as the console homepage.

Cloud Control is set to auto-start using the "gcstartup" service. The
"/etc/oragchomelist" file contains the items that will be started by the system.
/u01/app/oracle/middleware
/u01/app/oracle/agent/agent_13.1.0.0.0:/u01/app/oracle/agent/agent_inst
On a simple installation the default auto-start will cause a problem as Cloud
Control will attempt to start before the database has started. The service can be
disabled by commenting out (using #) all the contents of the "/etc/oragchomelist"
file to prevent the auto-start and use start/stop scripts described below.
If the start/stop needs to be automated, you can do it in the usual way using Linux
service that calls your start/stop scripts that include the database management.
