Re: Grid Control installation question

I've just completed a GC install on Windows 2003. The OMS/OMR installation is essentially an application server installation - no OS group needed. The repository database uses the ORADBA group, but I think that the installer will create that group for you.

This is a list of doco that I've found useful (yes, there's Linux doco in it but some of the info is relevant for Windows too):

• ALERT Note 853691.1 – Important steps required for EMGC 10.2.0.5 upgrades
• Metalink Published Bug 8578406
• Metalink Note 464674.1 - Upgrade checklist
• Metalink Note 467677.1 – How to install grid control 10.2.0.4 to use an 11g database for the repository
• Metalink Note 604520.1 – How to install GC 10.2.0.4 with an existing (10.2.x.x/11.1.0.6) database using the software-only option
• Metalink Note 763351.1 - Documentation reference for GC 10.2.0.5 installation and upgrade)
• Metalink Note 784963.1 – How to install GC 10.2.0.5 on EL5 using the existing database 11g option
• Metalink Note 787872.1 - GC 10.2.0.5 known issues
• Metalink Notes 428665.1, 1078864.1

Note that GC 11 is not yet available for Windows and GC 10.2 comes with desupported underlying software (DB, app server) which require a bit of extra effort.

Good luck! :)
