Re: OEM 12c Software Library

Deborah

If I recall correctly you'll find it is also used when patching agents - or deploying new gold agent images, and that *is *something you should be doing.

You don't say what your deployment model is, but if you are planning on any sort of HA for your OMS (other than just building the OMS as a single server on an HA Virtual platform) then Pete's reply below isn't quite correct :(. The software library needs to be on shared writeable storage between OMS machines - see
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/softwarelib.htm#EMADM13187. This can be expensive to provide.
