11g Management Agent Deployment via Grid Control using the Push

Method
The 11g management agent cannot be directly installed using the Oracle Universal Installer GUI as in the 10g
version of the product. We can use any of the following methods to deploy the agent on target nodes.
gent !ull method
gent !ush method
gent clone.
This note shows us how to deploy the agent from the "# Grid $ontrol interface.
%rom the Deployment tab in the "# Grid $onsole& clic' on Install Agent (under gent Installation) and then Fresh
Install.
"nter the following details *
The host where we want to deploy the agent
The O+ user account and password on the target machine
The top level path of the directory under which the ,agent11g- sub.directory will be created.
#anagement +erver registration password
+ince the user account we are using does not have the privilege to do a sudo& unchec' the run root.sh bo/.
0emember we will need to run the root.sh from the agent home on the target after the installation.
+ince our O#+ is secured& enter the #anagement +erver rergistration password for the agent to connect to
repository in the secure mode. This password will be the one we supplied at the time of the 11g "# Grid $ontrol
installation.
1ote*
+ince the machine where we are installing the agent does not have a connection to the internet& we will not provide
the user account details re2uired to connect to the #y Oracle +upport site.
Note:
We need to provide the correct path to the e/ecutables li'e ,scp-&-ssh-&-ssh.'eygen-. In our case these are not
located under 3usr3local3bin but under 3usr3bin.
On the server which hosts the O#+& we go to the 4omain directory (gc5inst) that we created at the time of the 11g
Grid $ontrol installation.
"dit the file ssPathssol!properties and ma'e the following changes
6* "d #u$1#app#ora"le#produ"t#g"inst#em#%MGC&M'1#sysman#prov#resour"es
6* vi ssPathssol!properties

''(,%-G%NPA)(*#usr#+in#ssh./eygen
''((&'),%-0&C*#et"#ssh
fter establishing that secure connections to the target host can be made and the host is reachable& the installer will
perform a number of prere2uisite chec's. +ee Appendi1 2 for a list of chec's which are performed.
$lic' on home ta'es you bac' to the deployment page
We need to edit the ignoreMessages!t1t file under the same location
. 3g"inst#em#%MGC&M'1#sysman#prov#resour"es
nd add the following lines < this is the banner te/t which is output when a user logs in to the host =.

While the installation is in progress& the installer will create a temporary directory on the target server with the
prefi/ ,4T#!>-
%or e/ample * 4T#!5?010.10.1@510.0A.0B.#
This directory is removed automatically after a successful agent installation.
There will be a file called install.log in the same directory location and we can do a tail <f of that file while the agent
installation is in progress .
Appendi1 1 has e/cerpts from the file which show the various stages in the agent installation which happen in the
bac'ground.
fter the installation is completed& we can see the screen gent Installation +ession 4etails which will provide details
of the entire agent deployment procedure.
