Hi Kellyn,
Thanks for your tips. But my database is still at 11.2.0.4. We are trying
migrate our 11g database from Solaris to Linux first and use the DB control
as an interim solution for database administration and monitoring. Once
that project is done then we would upgrade our 11g databases to 12C and
could use 12 EM Express. So for now I was looking for the document or tips
for DB control on 11.2.0.4.
Sorry for the delayed response as I was on vacation for few days.

Hi Niall,
Yes and I recommended Ashoke take Rich's advice as well after linking to
the documentation he requested...:)

Hi Kellyn
My understanding is that Ashoke went down the DB Control route because his
understanding was that OEM 12 didn't support databases on RHEL7. That might
be true of 12.1.0.3 but it isn't true of 12.1.0.5.
Rich - you were looking at the certification for the OMS - the correct
search would be for the agent https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/
CertifyResults?_adf.ctrl-state=10p5kx9y0f_4&searchCtx=
st%255EANY%257Cpa%255Epi%255E932_Enterprise%2BManager%
2BBase%2BPlatform%2B-%2BAgent%257Evi%255E335752%257Epln%
255EAny%257E%257C&_afrLoop=456648746087497 RHEL7 is a supported target
for the agent.
Ashoke, I'd second the advice about investigating whether an OMS upgrade
is planned/acceptable - especially given the lifecycle stage that RHEL6 is
in. It's a long time since I used db control for management so take what I
say with a pinch of salt. My understanding is that you won't get
notifications when the db is down (a fairly serious flaw) but that you
should in the other cases. You might find http://www.oracle.com/
webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r2/2day_
dba/monitoring/monitoring.htm helpful as a resource for monitoring and
notifications.

Could we first verify that the original question is about DB Control, (aka
Enterprise Manager Express) and not the Enterprise Manager product that’s
installed on a separate repository, with a separate management service? If
it’s the former and not the latter, then these responses, although
excellent recommendations on what he should be installing, is not instance
dependent and wouldn’t explain why with the former, no notifications were
received about the database until the database, (and the locally installed
repository) were again, accessible.
Just a thought… :)

Well it is true that RHEL7 is not supported in OEM 12.1.0.3 but it is in
OEM 12.1.0.5 so maybe ask your Grid Control Admin team if it is possible to
upgrade to the last 12c version of Cloud Control, which might be less
complicated than migrating to 13c.
Where did you find that info? I can't find RHEL7 in the Certifications of
OMS 12.1.0.5 in MOS. For those with an Oracle contract (link taken from
"Share" in the MOS Certifications screen):
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/CertifyResults?_
afrLoop=295719592217065&searchCtx=st%255EANY%257Cpa%
255Epi%255E931_Enterprise%2BManager%2BBase%2BPlatform%
2B-%2BOMS%257Evi%255E299128%257Epln%255EAny%257E%257C&_afrWindowMode=0
There's no mention of any OS being a "managed target", so I suspect that
if the target database supports an OS, EM 12.1.0.5 will too. But I don't
see that here or in the drilldowns.
