In order to be able to test the GenAI Ask EM functionality of OEM 24ai, and after I have first installed an OEM platform from OCI MarketPlace, I have been installing and configuring an Oracle Management agent on one of my DB System that I have in my lab. When the process is still quite the same I still found interesting to share it here in a blog, moreover I faced some issue that I could resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Prepare OMS connection to host target<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I need to have a ssh key pair to be able to connect from my OEM to the target DB System when adding the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create ssh key pair<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I first need to create a ssh key pair. I created the ssh key with ops user from the OMS server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issue #1: Agent deployed as OPC user<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I could first see that the agent would be deployed with OPC user. Which make sense, I have given opc as username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s change the user and provide oracle and root as username in the configuration of the GUI to deploy the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will first add the key for the oracle user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing the same for user root will not be possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the sshd configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]# sudo grep -E '^(PermitRootLogin|PubkeyAuthentication|PasswordAuthentication)' \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config\nPasswordAuthentication yes\nPermitRootLogin no\nPermitRootLogin no\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
root ssh login are disabled. So leave it as it is for root. Root access will be needed to run root.sh script which we can do manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I will update the inputs and retry the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I changed the root credential with username root as well, which will not work, but it is not a problem, I will run the root.sh script manually. I later wondered if I would not better had to keep opc. I will be able to test this on a next agent installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I could easily determine the problem. Oracle has no permission to write in the oracle directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is correct, as root is owner of the oracle directory and other group do not have access to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[oracle@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 opt]$ pwd\n\/opt\n\n[oracle@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 opt]$ ls -ld oracle\ndrwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jul 22 07:55 oracle\n[oracle@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 opt]$\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
Let’s create the directory manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]# cd \/opt\/oracle\n\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 oracle]# mkdir agentem24ai\n\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 oracle]# chown oracle: agentem24ai\n\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 oracle]# ls -ld agentem24ai\ndrwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Jul 22 08:22 agentem24ai\n[root@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 oracle]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
And I retried using same inputs. This will use same installation configuration parameters, cleaning the existing agent installation and starting a new installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This step was then successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next warning can be ignored as I will run root.sh manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ensure that the port is free before doing a new last installation, by stopping the agent manually and checking the port is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then retry a full installation again, and all went properly. I just had to run root.sh manually. This was expected. The only sad point is that the installer will stop here in failure, when it should just provide a warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand what is happening I ran a tcpdump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[opc@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]$ sudo tcpdump -nn -i any port 3872\ndropped privs to tcpdump\ntcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode\nlistening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked v1), capture size 262144 bytes\n13:24:11.765793 IP 192.168.1.142.20016 > 192.168.1.245.3872: Flags [S], seq 3591942206, win 62720, options [mss 8960,sackOK,TS val 1202488162 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
We can clearly see that the OMS server is sending a TCP SYN packet to the DB server but we do not see the SYN-ACK packet coming back. So clearly a firewall issue. I checked the OCI policies and all were ok.<\/span>\u00a0So let’s check if there is any local firewall configured on the DB System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can check nftables configuration using following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[opc@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]$ sudo nft list ruleset\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n\n
Doing so, I realized that port 3872 is not in the allowed rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nchain INPUT {\n    type filter hook input priority filter;\n    policy accept;\n\n    ...\n\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 2484 accept\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 22 accept\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 1521 accept\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 1522 accept\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 5000 accept\n    meta l4proto tcp ct state new tcp dport 6200 accept\n\n    ...\n\n    counter packets 116 bytes 6604 reject with icmp type host-prohibited\n}\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n\n
I added the rule in iptables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[opc@svl-orap-chz0-cl1n1 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -s 192.168.1.142 --dport 3872 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
And I could then connect successfully from the OMS server to my DB System on port 3872:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
target oracle_emd.192.168.1.245:3872 does not exist<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checking the targets on the DB System agent and port 3872, I could definitively confirm that oracle_emd target 192.168.1.245:3872 is not existing in OMS repository:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[oracle@oms1 ~]$ \/u01\/app\/oracle\/em\/middleware_241\/oms_home\/bin\/emcli get_targets \\\n  -targets=\"oracle_emd:192.168.1.245:3872\"\nStatus  Status           Target Type           Target Name\n ID\n[oracle@oms1 ~]$\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n\n
Which can also be confirmed throught the OEM console:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agent on the DB System is healthy and communicating with OMS, but it seems that due to the previous 3872 port issue during the agent installation, OMS does not have a valid\/configured Agent target that it can use for management operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resynchronisation was also not working:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to remove the agent manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stopped the agent on the DB System:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
