Thank you Ghassan. Just a couple more questions in response:
1) You recommend not to run GC on the same server with the target DB - can
you please elaborate on why? Is it just do to contention for resources, or
is there some other reason? I'm not sure if I can justify purchasing
another server for GC if I already have enough available resources on the DB
server to run both with good performance.
It is just to reduce load on the server. GC will surely consume resources if
it is monntoring too many dbs, and used by several dbas. I would rather buy
a small PC (a dual core will be enough, anda 100G HD will suffice for the
repository DB).
2) Regarding licensing for Enterprise Edition, I understand that the EE
database that serves as the GC does not require a separate license, but I'm
not clear on whether the targets can all be Standard Edition, or if the Grid
Control license is only provided as long as your target(s) are Enterprise
Edition - do you know? I'm still waiting for a response from Oracle Support
on this.
There is no licence for GC, you buy the packs only (and plugins). I 'm not
sure about it, but I do not see why the agent cannot monitor an SE.

Brandon

I would not advise you install it on your db servers. use another machine.
You do not pay the licence for the repository db, and it is an EE (it has
partitioning, ...)
