12c Management Agent Silent Installation

Outlined here is the process used to deploy the 12c management agent on a target Linux x86_64 server using the silent installation method with an agent response file.

In this case the 12c  OMS host server is called linux-oem-prod and the target host where we are deploying the agent is .linux-orasql-001-dev.

In the next post we will see how we can deploy or push the 12c management agents to target hosts from 12c Cloud Control itself.

On the OMS host launch the EMCLI client

[oracle@linux-oem-prod Middleware]$ cd oms

 [oracle@linux-oem-prod oms]$ cd bin

 [oracle@linux-oem-prod bin]$ ./emcli login -username=sysman -password=xxx

Login successful

Synchronize EMCLI

[oracle@linux-oem-prod bin]$ ./emcli sync

Synchronized successfully

Check the platforms for which the Management Agent software is available on the OMS host

[oracle@linux-oem-prod bin]$ ./emcli get_supported_platforms

Download the Management Agent software from Oracle Software Library to a temporary directory on the OMS host

[oracle@linux-oem-prod bin]$ ./emcli get_agentimage -destination=/u01/app/oracle/agent_software -platform=”Linux x86-64″ -version=”12.1.0.1.0″
