I plan to use OEM to do the patching. For this, I need to establish the OEM environment.
Enter Metalink Credentials
From the OEM home page, I click on the link called Not Configured at the label My Oracle Support Credentials. At the My Oracle Support and Proxy Connection tab of the Patching Setup page, I enter My Oracle Support and do a successful test.
When I click the Apply button, I get the following error message:
On gridctrl, I examine /opt/oracle/app/OracleHomes/oms10g/sysman/log/emoms.log and find the following error message:
2012-01-05 00:00:43,030 [JobWorker 38105:Thread-36] ERROR em.provision checkAllSoftwareLibLocs.210 - AdminUtil:checkAllSoftwareLibLocs: No software library locations configured.
When I go to the Provisioning of the Deployments page, I see the following Warning:
The Software Library has not been configured. Component/Directive/Image/Network/Suite creation will fail if Software Library is not configured. To configure, click on the 'Provisioning' sub-tab, go to the 'Administration' page and set the path for Software Library.
On gridctrl, I create a new directory to hold the software repository:
mkdir /opt/oracle/OEM_SW_repository
When I enter the name of the software repository, I get a screen saying, among other things, that:
PAR files are being uploaded to the Software Library. This happens when a Software Library location is added for the first time. The upload process may take some time.
Gave up when I got the following error message:
