Reviewing Oracle® Database Upgrade Guide 10g Release 1 (10.1) Part No. B10763-02 On page 3-11 it states: When you run the Database Upgrade Assistant, the assistant checks to see if the Oracle Management Agent has been installed on the host computer. If the assistant locates an Oracle Management Agent, select the Grid Control option and select an Oracle Management Service from the drop-down list. When you finish installing the Oracle Database, the database will automatically be available as a managed target within the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control. 1. Does this mean that before I run the Database Upgrade Assistant, I have to install the OEM Agent so that Grid Control will be configured? 2. Our OMS repository is 9i right now. Do I have to upgrade it before upgrading the databases? If so, how can I do so since above states it wants the agent installed first?
