3 Introduction Oracle Linux, the industry s best enterprise Linux, brings the latest innovations to market, delivering extreme performance, advanced scalability, and reliability for enterprise applications and systems along with worldwide low-cost support. Oracle Linux is the only operating system to offer zero-downtime updates. Oracle is the only vendor in the industry that offers a complete Linux-based solution stack applications, middleware, database, management tools, operating system and hardware along with a single point of support. Oracle invests significantly in testing Oracle Linux and releasing critical bug fixes faster, enabling enterprises to deploy with confidence. With Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, Oracle offers a simple, integrated solution for Linux lifecycle management, from applications to disk. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is system management software that delivers centralized monitoring, administration, and lifecycle management functionality for the complete IT infrastructure, including systems running Oracle and non-oracle technologies. Your environment might comprise multiple Oracle databases, Oracle WebLogic Servers, Web applications deployed on these servers, hosts running these targets, and so on. You can, of course, use the individual product consoles to monitor the status of each of these targets, but it becomes cumbersome to shuttle between multiple console windows and track the performance of each of these targets using so many windows. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c offers a solution that allows you to monitor and manage the complete Oracle IT infrastructure from a single console. In addition, it provides support for business-driven IT management and business-centric, top-down application management to manage your business services, user experience, and infrastructure. 1
4 Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides an integrated and cost-effective solution for complete Oracle Linux server lifecycle management. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c delivers comprehensive provisioning, patching, monitoring, and administration capabilities via a single, Web-based user interface, significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with managing Linux operating system environments on bare-metal physical machines or in virtualized environments. For more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, access the following URL: 2
5 Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Overview Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides the most comprehensive management solution for Oracle environments including traditional as well as cloud computing architectures. Key product capabilities include complete cloud lifecycle management, integrated cloud stack management, and business-driven application management. It also provides comprehensive Oracle Linux management capabilities. Oracle Linux Support customers are eligible to use Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c to manage all their Oracle Linux installed servers. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c allows system administrators to: Discover assets within the data center and organize them in patching groups Monitor assets Provision Oracle Linux Manage Oracle Linux patching Manage systems compliance to enterprise rules Execute operational procedures on a group of servers or on individual servers Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c easily integrates into an existing Linux patching and provisioning infrastructure because its Linux management is based on the Linux standards (Yum/up2date patching, PXE boot provisioning). In this paper, we will see how Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c helps the system administrator accomplish Linux system management tasks. 3
6 Managing Oracle Linux with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Figure 1. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c login console Discovery and Inventory Oracle Enterprise Manager launches periodic jobs that scan for unmanaged hosts via IP Scan. The discovered hosts can then be promoted to managed status by installing and running the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent. 4
7 Figure 2. Promote discovered hosts Patching Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides key Linux patching features which enable you to do the following: Set up Linux RPM repositories based on Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) channels Download advisories (errata) from ULN Set up a Linux patching group to update a group of Linux hosts and collect compliance information Allow non-compliant packages to be patched Roll back last update/uninstall packages from host Manage RPM repositories and channels (clone channels, copy packages from one channel into another, delete channels) Add RPMs to custom channels Manage configuration file channels (create/delete channels, upload files, copy files from one channel into another) Run pre- and post-patching scripts Use a rich level of reporting Oracle Enterprise Manager uses standard RPM repositories under the control of Oracle Enterprise Manager to patch Linux servers. 5
8 Figure 3. Linux patching setup Oracle Enterprise Manager allows the system administrator to create RPM repositories (repo) but also use existing repositories. This makes it extremely convenient for the system administrator to mirror repositories from ULN and use them to patch the Linux servers. Figure 4. Linux patching setup (continued) Existing RPM repositories can be defined in Oracle Enterprise Manager as part of the patching setup. Administrators can create their own channels (custom channels) made of specific packages, at a specific patch level using the createrepo/yum-arch commands, and then register these custom repositories in Oracle Enterprise Manager. 6
9 Figure 5. Set up custom channel For more information on how to manually create mirrors of ULN channels, see the following article: From the Manage RPM Repository section, existing channels can be cloned using the Create-Like feature. The Copy Packages feature allows you to copy packages from one channel to another. Figure 6. Manage RPM repositories The servers can be organized in groups that are associated to channels, and periodic scans for updates will be made on the servers of these groups. 7
10 Managing groups of servers associated with custom channels is an effective way to enforce system image standards. Depending on the purpose of the servers, a set of packages has to be installed and kept up to date on the servers. The system administrator creates channels for each group of servers with only the packages that the servers from a particular group need. For example, the database servers with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 running on Oracle Linux 6 would belong to the group OL6forDB11gR2 with an associated custom channel containing the packages for the installation and execution of Oracle Database. This method helps the system administrator maintain a standard in the data center and improves security. In the event the server requires an additional package to be installed, the system administrator would add the package to the custom channel. Figure 7. Set up patching groups Once the patching setup is complete, the system administrator can select Linux Patching in Enterprise>Provisioning and Patching, and then determine how compliant the systems are. Figure 8. Linux patching 8
11 The Compliance Home section provides the system administrator with status reports showing which systems need updates. From here, patching can be both scheduled and undone per patching group. During this process, it is possible to run pre-scripts and post-scripts. Figure 9. Compliance Home section Advisories indicate how critical the various available updates are. 9
12 Figure 10. ULN advisories Reporting It is possible using the reporting features of Oracle Enterprise Manager to run the following Linux patching reports: Non-compliant packages for all hosts Non-compliant packages for a single host Compliance information for all patchable Linux groups Compliance information for all patchable Linux hosts Figure 11. Linux patching reports 10
13 Configuration Files Configuration file channels can also be configured by the system administrator to enforce the compliance of the configuration of different systems. Figure 12. Configuration file channels Provisioning Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c allows the system administrator to provision Oracle Linux on bare-metal servers. (While virtual machines can, of course, be provisioned, that is out of the scope of this paper.) Figure 13. Bare-metal provisioning Provisioning Linux on a bare-metal server uses standard PXE, HTTP, kickstart, and RPM repositories. The provisioning infrastructure includes a stage server where the server s installation files are staged, a DHCP server from which the server will get the network information, a boot server configured to enable TFTP boot, and RPM repositories. 11
14 Figure 14. Bare-metal provisioning infrastructure In the Deployments tab, you can add and view bare-metal provisioning images. Figure 15. Bare-metal provisioning images The images consist of a set of information, such as the server MAC address and the Linux installation details used to create the kickstart file. The Figure 16 through Figure 20 show how to configure a baremetal provisioning image: 12

17 Figure 20. Configuring a bare-metal provisioning image (5 of 5) Monitoring Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides an overview of server statistics that the system administrator can use to quickly determine any incident or abnormal activity in the data center. Figure 21. Incident Manager Also, the per-server view provides more detail about a particular host. 15
18 Figure 22. Host monitoring 16
19 Operational Procedures Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides a library of procedures tailored for specific tasks. System administrators can create their own procedures in a shell script or Perl to automate certain operational tasks. Figure 23. Procedure library 17
20 Comparing Servers Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c allows the system administrator to compare systems in detail, for example, for compliance purposes or troubleshooting. Figure 24. Configuration comparison Converged Systems Management Oracle is one of the few enterprise solution providers to offer so many components of the IT infrastructure. From purpose-built engineered systems to general-purpose solutions, Oracle enhances the user experience by tailoring its virtualization and operating system layer to the hardware and applications it provides. Operating systems can have dual personalities. Some IT operations professionals interact with the operating system during system management tasks, while others might only know the OS as a wrapper around their application. As development and operations personnel (DevOps) work more closely together within a data center to accelerate IT projects and vendors provide more converged systems infrastructure, the traditional IT roles we once held up as the norm are rapidly changing. Oracle Enterprise Manager s modular design as a product suite offering allows users to choose one point of view or the other, or they can select both. 18
21 Figure 25. Multiple points of view Oracle Enterprise Manager enables customers to have complete visibility into the Oracle Linux environment. If the IT environment consists of a large investment in Oracle hardware, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center assists with managing the hardware in addition to Oracle Linux, while integrating enough up into the common management framework (Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control) and user experience to maintain a single view of the Oracle technology stack. If the IT environment is more focused on Oracle Database and Oracle Applications installed across a variety of hardware systems, Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c is the preferred tool to manage the Oracle Linux layer along with complete Oracle technology stack. A significant percentage of Oracle Linux customers are also Oracle Database and Oracle Applications customers and, therefore, they are most likely already using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in some capacity. Many user flows found within Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control assist in that direction. For these users, Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c is recommended for managing Oracle Linux environments. On the other hand, a high percentage of customers with a large investment in Oracle hardware already use Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. Customers deploying both Oracle operating systems (Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux) might find Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center more advantageous for managing their operating systems along with the hardware. For example, with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, you can use your own yum local repositories from the operating system yum framework. However, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center maintains its own private local repositories and offers methods to input information into them. 19
22 Figure 26. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Whether customers choose Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, or both, Oracle Linux is completely covered. Lifecycle management of operating system patches, integration with ULN, bare-metal operating system provisioning via kickstart, and Oracle Linux performance monitoring are covered by both the solutions offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager. Conclusion Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides the most comprehensive management solution for Oracle environments, including traditional as well as cloud computing architectures. Oracle Enterprise Manager also provides comprehensive Oracle Linux management capabilities, described in detail in this document. These Oracle Linux management capabilities are provided to Oracle Linux customers at no additional charge as part of their Oracle Linux support contract.
