Enabling and Disabling the Oracle Management Packs for Oracle Enterprise Manager
Showing Management Pack Information
The Service Level Management (SLM) pack offers a comprehensive monitoring solution that helps IT organizations achieve high availability and performance, and optimized service levels for their business services. SLM actively monitors and reports on the availability and performance of services, including end-user business functions, Web applications, and infrastructure components. Using service tests or synthetic transactions executed from remote user locations (beacons), businesses can monitor services from the end user's perspective and its correlation to the underlying IT infrastructure. In addition, the Service Level Management Pack assesses the business impact of any service problem or failure, and indicates whether service-level goals have been met.
The Service Level Management Pack was introduced with Enterprise Manager version 10g 10.2. A subset of functionality in the Service Level Management Pack was previously included as part of the Diagnostics Pack for Application Server license. Customers who had licensed the Diagnostics Pack for Application Server 10g 10.1 are entitled to use the following specific functionality without licensing the Service Level Management Pack 10g 10.2:
Web Application service test monitoring with HTTP and HTTP(s) protocols
Host monitoring with ping protocol
All other functionality included with the Service Level Management Pack requires licensing of the pack.

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Provisioning packs consist of:
Oracle Provisioning Pack for Database
Oracle Provisioning Pack for Application Server
Oracle Provisioning Pack for Non-Oracle Systems
The packs automate deployment of software, applications, and patches. They provide easy and scalable critical data center operations, resulting in lower operational risk and cost of ownership.
These packs provide functionality for "bare-metal" provisioning of operating systems and software images, (such as Oracle Clusterware, Real Application Clusters, and Oracle Application Servers), cloning of existing installations and Oracle databases, and patching.
Enterprise Manager versions 10g 10.2.0.2 and later enable you to also orchestrate the provisioning and patching process through Deployment Procedures. These are a set of "best practices" shipped out-of-box that you can also extend by customizing according to your needs. You can reuse the deployment procedures, and you can export and import them across environments that would involve creation of a single procedure to do operations across test environments and production. The Deployment Procedures are also hot-pluggable, and enable you to add procedures as Oracle releases them to metalink.
Note:
In Enterprise Manager 10g 10.1, three features that are currently licensed as part of the Oracle Provisioning Pack were previously part of the Configuration Management Pack: Patch Deployment (Patch Database and View Patch Cache, Patch staging), Clone Oracle Home, and Clone Database. If you have previously licensed the Oracle Configuration Management Pack for Database, you are entitled to use these features without licensing the Oracle Provisioning Pack.The following sections describe the features that are included as part of the Provisioning packs for Oracle Enterprise Manager.
The following features were previously part of the Configuration Management pack and are now part of the Provisioning packs.
Table 2-1 Former Configuration Management Pack Features in Provisioning Packs
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Critical Patch Facility |
Grid Control performs an assessment of vulnerabilities by examining your enterprise configuration to determine which Oracle homes have not applied one or more software patches that have been identified as critical. Grid Control provides a list of critical patch advisories and the Oracle homes to which the critical patches should be applied. The Critical Patch Facility enables administrators to download the Critical Patch metadata from MetaLink and upload it to the repository. The "RefreshFromMetalink" job can then use this metadata to perform Critical Patch calculations in offline mode. Administrators will be alerted to security updates—even if the Management Service is not connected to MetaLink. The Critical Patch Facility's offline mode makes it easy to keep your environment patched to the latest level. Only the Critical Patch Facility advisors remain in the Configuration Management Pack. |
|
Database Cloning |
You can clone a database instance using the Clone Database feature of Grid Control. Clone Database clones a database instance to an existing Oracle home. To create a new Oracle home into which to clone the instance, use the Clone Oracle Home tool to create a new Oracle home, then use the Clone Database tool to clone the instance to that cloned home. |
|
ORACLE_HOME Cloning |
Use this feature to clone existing Oracle home directories. After you have configured an Oracle home into a desirable state—where you have chosen particular installation options, applied required patches, and tested it—you can clone this Oracle home to one or more hosts using Grid Control's "Clone Oracle Home" tool. |
|
ORACLE_HOME and Target Patching |
Use this feature to patch an ORACLE_HOME. |
The Provisioning Packs and Configuration Management Pack share the following features.

If you have not enabled the features included in the Management Packs licensed with Oracle Enterprise Manager, you can enable or disable the functionality for each pack in the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Console using the following procedure.
Ensure that the version of Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control that you are using is at least release 10.2.
To check your Grid Control version, log in to the Grid Control Console and click About Oracle Enterprise Manager at the bottom of any page.
Log in to the Grid Control Console as a super administrator.
Click Setup in the upper right corner of the page.
Click Management Pack Access on the left navigation panel.
The Management Pack Access page allows you to enable or disable access for each Management Pack on each listed target.
For each host listed, you can enable or disable the management packs associated with an instance. For the target listed in the Name column, select the management packs for which you have access and click the box for that pack. For a new target, click the box in the Pack Access Agreed column to agree to the terms of the licensing agreement. The Pack Access Agreed option is available for selection only for a newly added target for which you have not accepted the terms of the Licensing Agreement.
Click Apply to save your changes.
When you disable a Management Pack, links that are part of that pack will either be disabled or, when a link is clicked, a message will indicate that the associated pack is not licensed for use. After performing the previous steps to disable a pack, any administrator who logs into the Grid Control Console cannot access Management Pack functionality that you have disabled.
Enterprise Manager indicates licensed links by showing an abbreviation for a pack beside the licensed link. The default is to not show these abbreviations. To enable this feature, do the following:
Access any Enterprise Manager Grid Control page.
Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see a + icon beside the About Oracle Enterprise Manager link on the left.
Click the + icon. The + icon changes to a - icon, and the pack abbreviations now appear beside the licensed links.
For instance, click the Targets tab, click the Services sub-tab, then click a service name. The Service Home page that appears displays SLM abbreviations beside several links. If you click the abbreviation link, a table appears that provides the abbreviations, pack names, target types, and descriptions for all of the packs.
