1 Getting Started

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide covers advanced installation procedures that help you install and configure Enterprise Manager Grid Control components in different ways for more complex environments. The guide covers multiple use cases, including steps to install only the software binaries and steps to deinstall a component from your system, both in graphical mode and in silent mode.

Graphical mode is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) method that involves usage of a Java-based installation wizard or a browser-based application that is built into and accessed from the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console. This method is best suited for first-time installations because you are guided through the entire installation process and your installation details are captured using the interview screens.
Silent mode involves usage of Oracle-supplied response files that capture all the information required for installation. This method is simpler and faster, but requires you to have some knowledge on the installation process so that you can provide your installation details in the response files without having to see the interview screens of the installation wizard.

Consider this chapter to be a documentation map to understand what use cases are covered in this guide, and what sections within the guide you must read to understand each use case and successfully perform the described operation.

In particular, this chapter covers use cases for the following:

Installing Enterprise Manager Grid Control
Adding Additional Oracle Management Service
Installing Oracle Management Agent
Upgrading Enterprise Manager Grid Control or Oracle Management Service
Upgrading Oracle Management Agent

Note:

Oracle strongly recommends you to read Chapter 2, "Things to Know" so that you understand the key concepts of Enterprise Manager Grid Control and the important aspects of installation and upgrade.
