Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control is Oracle's single, integrated solution for managing all aspects of the Oracle Grid and the applications running on it. Grid Control couples a potent, top-down monitoring approach to delivering the highest quality of service for applications with a cost-effective automated configuration management, provisioning, and administrative solution. This powerful combination provides unequaled management for any size Oracle data center.
Oracle also offers serveral options, management packs, management plug-ins, and other products that enhance the capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager for specific purposes. This chapter describes the separately licensed Oracle Enterprise Manager management packs, management plug-ins, and other products you can purchase to enhance the capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager in specific environments. The chapter contains the following sections:
Note:
For information about Management Packs, Management Plug-ins, or other licensed products associated with either Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Application Server, see Oracle Database Licensing Information or Oracle Application Server Licensing Information.You cannot use the options, packs, views, reports, or commands described in these sections without the appropriate licenses. The fact that these options, Management Packs, or products may be included in product CDs or downloads or described in documentation that you receive does not authorize you to use them without the appropriate licenses.
The following sections describe the management packs available for Oracle Enterprise Manager. The Enterprise Manager Management Packs are licensed by the number of hosts, transactions or targets they manage.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Management Pack for Non-Oracle Systems
Enabling and Disabling the Oracle Management Packs for Oracle Enterprise Manager
The Service Level Management (SLM) pack offers a comprehensive monitoring solution that helps IT organizations achieve high availability and performance, and optimized service levels for their business services. SLM actively monitors and reports on the availability and performance of services, including end-user business functions, Web applications, and infrastructure components. Using service tests or synthetic transactions executed from remote user locations (beacons), businesses can monitor services from the end users' perspective and its correlation to the underlying IT infrastructure. In addition, Service Level Management Pack assesses the business impact of any service problem or failure, and indicates whether service-level goals have been met.
The following information describes the Enterprise Manager links that require licensing of the Service Level Management Pack. This information does not include feature links that may contain information derived from the creation of tests and beacons, but are considered part of the Service Level Management Pack. The list that follows assumes that you begin from the main Grid Control Home page.

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Provisioning pack automates deployment of software, applications, and patches. This pack provides functionality for "bare-metal" provisioning of operating systems and software images, cloning of existing installations and software images (such as Oracle Clusterware, Real Application Clusters, and Oracle Application Servers), and patching. It makes critical data center operations easy and scalable, resulting in lower operational risk and cost of ownership.
Note:
In earlier releases, three features that are currently licensed as part of the Oracle Provisioning Pack were previously part of the Configuration Management Pack: Patch Deployment (Patch Database and View Patch Cache, Patch staging), Clone Oracle Home, and Clone Database. If you have previously licensed the Configuration Management Pack for Oracle Database, you are entitled to use these features without licensing the Oracle Provisioning Pack.The following sections describe the features that are included as part of the Provisioning pack for Oracle Enterprise Manager.
The following features were previously part of the Configuration Management pack and are now part of the Provisioning pack.
Table 1-1 Former Configuration Management Pack Features in Provisioning Pack
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Critical Patch Facility |
Grid Control performs an assessment of vulnerabilities by examining your enterprise configuration to determine which Oracle homes have not applied one or more software patches that have been identified as critical. Grid Control provides a list of critical patch advisories and the Oracle homes to which the critical patches should be applied. The Critical Patch Facility enables administrators to download the Critical Patch metadata from MetaLink and upload it to the repository. This metadata can then be used by the "RefreshFromMetalink" job for performing Critical Patch calculations in offline mode. Administrators will be alerted to security updates—even if the Management Service is not connected to MetaLink. The Critical Patch Facility's offline mode makes it easy to keep your environment patched to the latest level. Only the Critical Patch Facility advisors remain in the Configuration Management Pack. |
|
Database Cloning |
You can clone a database instance using the Clone Database feature of Grid Control. Clone Database clones a database instance to an existing Oracle home. To create a new Oracle home into which to clone the instance, use the Clone Oracle Home tool to create a new Oracle home, then use the Clone Database tool to clone the instance to that cloned home. |
|
ORACLE_HOME Cloning |
Use this feature to clone existing Oracle home directories. Once you have configured an Oracle home into a desirable state—where you have chosen particular install options, applied required patches, and tested it—you can clone that Oracle home to one or more hosts using Grid Control's "Clone Oracle Home" tool. |
|
ORACLE_HOME and Target Patching |
Use this feature to patch an ORACLE_HOME. |
The following features are shared by both the Configuration Management Pack and the Provisioning Pack.

If you have not enabled the features included in the Management Packs licensed with Oracle Enterprise Manager, you can enable or disable the functionality for each pack in the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Console using the following procedure.
Ensure that the version of Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control that you are using is at least release 10.2.
To check your Grid Control version, log in to the Grid Control Console and click About Oracle Enterprise Manager at the bottom of any page.
Log in to the Grid Control Console as a super administrator.
Click Setup in the upper right corner of the page.
Click Management Pack Access on the left navigation panel.
The Management Pack Access page allows you to enable or disable access for each Management Pack on each listed target.
For each host listed, you can enable or disable the management packs associated with an instance. For the target listed in the Name column, choose the management packs for which you have access and click the box for that pack. For a new target, click the box in the Pack Access Agreed column to agree to the terms of the licensing agreement. The Pack Access Agreed option is available for selection only for a newly added target for which you have not accepted the terms of the Licensing Agreement.
Click Apply to save your changes.
When you disable a Management Pack, links that are part of that pack will either be disabled or, when a link is clicked, a message will indicate that the associated pack is not licensed for use. After performing the previous steps to disable a pack, any administrator who logs into the Grid Control Console will not be able to access Management Pack functionality that you have disabled.
