RE: Quick and Dirty Grid Control

Seriously, you are (to use a technical term) in deep do-do. This is REALLY easy to do with CloudControl, but getting it set up to be READY to do it for so many ORACLE_HOME's etc. will undoubtedly take longer than "do this this weekend" allows. If you could get it pushed off a week I could walk you through the process of getting it set up properly to do it. ;)

If you want to do a bit of investigation on how it SHOULD be done, look up the concept of patch plans in section 27.4 Applying Patches in the Enterprise Manager Lifecycle Management Administrator's Guide.

Subject: Quick and Dirty Grid Control

The place I work doesn't use grid control. They have about 600 active databases in the development regions. We lack hardware infrastructure. All of these databases are mounted on five Solaris 10 Servers. Another DBA told me that they previously tried to get Grid Control running but it failed on discovery. It couldn't handle that many objects on a server. That was some time ago.

I'm about to get drafted (listening over the wall) to patch this weekend (I'm not on that team) and I'm not really interested in trying to patch that many databases manually, at least not twice. Is there a method to install grid control in some way that it can handle this situation? Can 12C handle this?

I would start doing some reading but I'm afraid somebody is going to walk around the corner in about 5 minutes and give me, "the look." I'm looking for a direction to march in that will fix this going forward.
