Installing OEM 13c on Linux 6 and 7

In this article I will explain how to install Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c on Linux 6 and 7. Installation process is almost similar for both Linux 6 and 7. I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux for this installation. Recommended way is to install database repository on a separate server and OMS on a different server, but for this installation I will be using a single server for both repository and OMS installation. You may download OEM 13c from www.oracle.com. Latest downloadable version available while writing this article is 13.1.0.0. Download all 5 files as shown below.
Official installation guide is available here

First steps is to install oracle database software, and create a database. Following document can be followed for this
Installing Oracle 12c R1 Database software on Linux 6
Installing Oracle 12c R1 Database software on Linux 7
After database software installation has been done, you need to
create a database using dbca. Best option is to use Oracle provided database templates available here. Template zip file “12.1.0.2 DB Template for EM 13.1.0.0 on Linux x86-64is the one I downloaded because I used 12.1.0.2 database as repository for this OEM installation. After downloading template file, extract the zip file under $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates directory, and dbca would be able to show the templates during database creation wizard as can been seen bellow. I selected template for small deployments. You should select based on how many servers you will be going to manage.

1)
Perform following tasks to prepare the host for OEM 13c installation.
a)
Make sure you have entries in the /etc/host file for the name resolution.

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost
192.231.231.50 salman11.salman.com salman11

b)
Edit /etc/selinux/config and set value for SELINUX to either “permissive” or “disabled”.
SELINUX=permissive

c)
Disable the firewall

[root@salman11 ~]# systemctl start firewalld.service
[root@salman11 ~]# systemctl stop firewalld.service
[root@salman11 ~]# systemctl disable firewalld.service
rm '/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/firewalld.service'
rm '/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service'

d)
Reboot the host

 2)
As root, confirm that following packages are installed in your OS. These are required for both Linux 6 and Linux 7. Install any missing package from yum repository or respective Linux installation media
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)
glibc-2.3.4-2.43(x86_64)

Example (Check if package is installed)
[root@salman11 ~]# rpm -q glibc-common
glibc-common-2.17-55.el7.x86_64

Example (yum)
[root@salman1 ~]# yum install glibc-common

Example (Linux Media)
[root@salman1 ~]# rpm -i glibc-common

3)
For Linux 6 only, check if following packages are installed. If not, install from yum repository or Linux installation media
make-3.81
binutils-2.20
gcc-4.4.4
libaio-0.3.107
glibc
glibc-common-2.12-1
libstdc++-4.4.4
libXtst-1.0.99 (x86_64)
sysstat-9.0.4
glibc-devel-2.12-1.7 (i686) (This is a 32-bit package)
glibc-devel-2.12-1.7 (x86_64) (This is a 64-bit package)
glibc-2.12-1.47.0.2  (Applicable only for Oracle Linux 6.2, which includes RH6.2 and UEK 6.2)

Example (Check if package is installed)
[root@salman11 ~]# rpm -q glibc-devel
glibc-devel-2.17-106.0.1.el7_2.6.x86_64

Example (yum) – installing glibc-devel 32-bit package
[root@salman1 ~]# yum install glibc-devel.i686

Example (Linux Media)
[root@salman1 ~]# rpm -i glibc-devel.i686
For Linux 7 only, check if following packages are installed. If not, install from yum repository or Linux installation media

make-3.82-21
binutils-2.23
gcc-4.8.2-16
libaio-0.3.109-12
glibc
glibc-common-2.17-55
libstdc++-4.8.2-16
sysstat-10.1.5-4
glibc-devel 2.17-55 (i686) (This is a 32-bit package)
glibc-devel 2.17-55 (x86_64) (This is a 64-bit package)
libXtst-1.2.2-2 (x86_64)

Example (Check if package is installed)
[root@salman11 ~]# rpm -q glibc-devel
glibc-devel-2.17-106.0.1.el7_2.6.x86_64

Example (yum) – installing glibc-devel 32-bit package
[root@salman1 ~]# yum install glibc-devel.i686

Example (Linux Media)
[root@salman1 ~]# rpm -i glibc-devel.i686

4)
Set the port range by editing /etc/sysctl.conf. Restart network services after setting this value.
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 11000 65500

5)
Set kernel.shmmax, Kernel Parameter.
If you are installing Management Repository database and OMS on the same host, then set this parameter to the value as mentioned in the database installation guide. It means that if you have already set this value during database installation, you don’t need to set it now.
If you are installing only OMS on this server, set value of this parameter to 4294967295 under /etc/sysctl.conf file.
Along with kernel.shmmax, set other parameter as well as mentioned bellow
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
Execute command “/sbin/sysctl –p” to apply the change in this parameter. 

6)
Create OS groups and user. If repository database is on the same host as OMS, you would already have created OS groups and user while installing database. Otherwise create users as follows
Create OS groups
#group add dba
#group add oinstall

Create OS user and set password
#useradd –g oinstall –G dba oracle
#passwd oracle

After creating user, set limits by creating a new file /etc/security/limits.d/oracle_limits.conf, and adding following lines in this file. You don’t need to perform this if your repository database is already configured on this server because you would already have set these limits during database configuration.
oracle   soft   nofile    1024
oracle   hard   nofile    65536
oracle   soft   nproc    16384
oracle   hard   nproc    16384
oracle   soft   stack    10240
oracle   hard   stack    32768
oracle   hard   memlock    134217728
oracle   soft   memlock    134217728

7)
I have downloaded/extracted binaries under /u02/OEM13c directory on my server. Log into the OS as “oracle” user (using desktop, or use some X server software) to initiate the installation. You don’t need to extract the zip files as these will be extracted automatically during the installation.

8)
Open a terminal and go to /u02/OEM13c directory, and start installation.
$ cd /u02/OEM13c
$ chmod 775 em13100_linux64.bin
$ ./em13100_linux64.bin
Click Next

9)
I selected “Skip” here for automatic software updates (can be setup after installation also), click Next

10)
This screen will check prerequisites. Fix any issue mentioned here by the installer. I ignored 1 warning related to port range (my port range is more than recommended, so I ignored it). Click Next


11)
For installation type, I am selecting “Simple”. “Advanced” installation option should be selected for production deployments,
click here for official installation guide. Advanced installation has a few of extra screens/steps

12)
Provide directory’s location for middle ware and agent installation. Click Next

13)
Provide passwords details and also database repository host name, listener port, SID/service name, and sys  password of repository database, click Next

14)
Provide shared directories location for Oracle Software Library. Provided a network share if you plan to use multiple OMS installation for load balancing. Since I am installing a single OMS, I am providing local directory. Optionally you can also configure BI Publisher at a shared location to be shared by multiple OMS installations. Click Next

15)
Click Install

16)
Monitor the progress

17)
Open a separate command line windows and execute root scripts when prompted, and click OK after execution completes.

18)
Copy all information provided on the last screen for your reference. Click Close to complete the installation.

19)
Access the OEM using a web browser. For my installation, access URL is
https://salman11.salman.com:7803/em. Provide SYSMAN as username and password you selected in 13th step above

20)
First time log in will let you do customization at the first screen. I chose to skip this.

21)
Click Accept

22)
Select the home page for your OEM. I selected Summary as my home page.


23)
To check about ports being used by the OEM components after the installation, you can check portslist.ini file.
[oracle]$ cat /u01/software/em/middleware/install/portlist.ini
Enterprise Manager Upload Http Port=4889
Enterprise Manager Upload Http SSL Port=4903
OHS Http Port=9788

Use emctl command to check status of OMS. “–details” option requires SYSMAN password to be provided to execute the command.
