Installing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c (13.3)

This post gives the highlights of installing EM Cloud Control 13c (13.3). There are earlier post of installing grid control 11g and upgrading grid control to 12c.
Database repository templates are available from Oracle site for EM 13.3 but these templates were for 12.1 DB. For this setup the repository database used was 12.2 as such no database templates were used. Certification information on MOS shows 12.2 could be used as a repository database. A custom database was created with following database components.

COMP_NAME                                STATUS
---------------------------------------- ----------
Oracle Database Catalog Views            VALID
Oracle Database Packages and Types       VALID
Oracle XML Database                      VALID
Oracle Workspace Manager                 VALID
Oracle Text                              VALID

There were no additional patches applied to the database. The OS is RHEL 7.4.
Once the database is created set the following parameters and creates other items as per specification (i.e. redo log size etc). These settings must be passed by the installer before it could proceed with the installation.

Once the above settings are done proceed with the installation. Installation could be registered with MOS and checked for updates, or simply skipped and proceed with the installation with the downloaded installer files.

Pre-req check would flag local port range values, set as part of the DB installation as insufficient. Increase is as per recommendation.

Advance option selection gives more option and customising capabilities during the instillation.

Set location for EM and agent software installation.

Select the plugins based on the monitoring targets.

Set credentials for weblogic domain and node manager.

Specify the DB repository credentials. In this setup both DB repository and Cloud control both reside on the same server. Based on the number of targets choose the deployment size. Based on this setting number of database initialization parameter values will be set. Refer Cloud Control documentation for more details.

Set the sysman and agent registration passwords.

It is possible to disable BI publisher and install it later. But in this setup BI publisher was installed and later the BI services were shutdown until it's used.

It's possible to customize the ports used by each service.

Installation summary.

When prompted run the root script.

Login to the Cloud control using the sysman password of the repository DB. Other users could be created subsequently.

The starting and stopping of OMS could done following way.
