If we want to play with DBAAS (see note 1549855.1) we need to have the latest plugins.
OK so into Cloud Control/Extensibililty/Plugins we go
We can see the same for the CLoud Plugin which is at 12.1.0.8 and we need 12.1.0.9
and the same for the storage management framework.
We need to deploy on the OMS server first and then roll out the agent side changes.
OMS Server
Downloading the Plugins
OK so those plugins are not downloaded so we need to download them before we can deploy them.
CLick into
For each plug in listed above, click into Setup/Extensibility/Self Update, then scroll down to Plugins,
For each plugin listed above, click Download , then Select Immediately
Wait for 5 minutes or so for all the plugins to be downloaded ( note that the DB plugin alone is 630 MB ... You wonder what they are doing with all that ! )
Now we can apply them to the relevant places.
Go back to Setup/Extensibility/Plugins and we can see the plugins are now available
Ok now go to Deploy On/Management Server in the buttons above the plugins
Click Add, and select each of the 4 plugins we have just downloaded
Click Next. Unfortunately we now get a warning that we need the latest virtualization plugin as well
we can see lots of stuff happening
Ok now go to Deploy On/Management Server in the buttons above the plugins
Click Add, and select each of the 4 plugins we have just downloaded
Click Next. Unfortunately we now get a warning that we need the latest virtualization plugin as well
so back to extensibility/selfupdate/plugins we go
Select the 12.1.0.7 Plugin and Download . This should only take a short time
Now go back to the plugins page and 12.1.0.7 virtualization should be available ( note you will need to repeat this process for Fusion Middleware currently 12.1.0.7
Once you've done that you eventually get a progress bar checking the prerequisites !
]
These failed because we need more swap ( the Azure VM has no swap in it ).
Step out, add swap, retry
if all is well the plugin prereq check should succeed
Click Next
On this window decide on your REPO back up strategy ( recommended ) and enter a SYSDBA credential for the repo database
Click Next.
you will now see an OMS downtime warning so ensure you know what this means ( no system monitoring while it is down )
If all is well and you wish to proceed, Click Deploy
a final confirmation window opens...
Click OK
We can step out and watch with emctl status oms -details -sysman_pwd

After about 90 minutes this clears up and we can log back in again !
Don't forget, though, we still need to roll out the plugins to the environments we want to deploy to or manage from.
In later posts we will look at the differences between all the plugins and the proper usage of all these.
