EM12c in a box - Deploying Highly Available EM12c on Oracle Database Appliance

Here is latest  white paper for deploying Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c in highly available architecture on Oracle Database Appliance - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-appliance/documentation/oda-oemcloudcontrol-2209378.pdf

Monitor Multi-rack Exadata by EM12c

Please see following document for Exadata Multi-rack support in EM12c
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e27442.pdf

Once Oracle engineers generates new config files by running OEDA (Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant) , you should have new configuration/schematic files for EM to discover Multi-rack Exadata machines.

After this we will be able to use regular Exadata discovery process to discover Multi-rack Exadata in EM12c.

EM Ops Center and Cloud Control Integration

Recently did EM Ops Center and Cloud Control integration for a customer. Followed this document

System Monitoring Plug-in for oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Guide

Couple of points to note when doing this integration

1) We need to add "Infrastructure Stack" target to ALL hosts, for which we need to see data in EM12c Cloud Control. this is required as EM12c Cloud Control pulls data only for those hosts on which "Infrastructure Stack" target is added.
2) We need to have Ops Center agent also on the host where "Infrastructure Stack" target in EM12c Cloud Control is discovered.
