Download the following software:

OS Installation

Install Oracle Linux (OL) in the same way you would for a regular Oracle Database installation. You can see examples of this type of installation below. Remember to check database installation article (listed below) for the specific package group selection. These Linux installations articles are generic, not specific for Cloud Control. - Oracle Linux 9.x Installation During this installation I used a virtual machine with 12G RAM (more would be better) and 100G disk space. The swap size was set at 8G, the firewall was disabled and SELinux was set to permissive.

Database Installation (Software-Only)

Install the 19c database along with the latest release update patches. For this installation you will install 19c on Oracle Linux 9. Here is a brief example of a silent installation from the "oracle" user. Run the root scripts when prompted. The installation documentation for the previous version says the following packages are necessary for the Cloud Control installation. If you have performed the database installation as described in one of the above articles, many of these prerequisites will already have been met. The database software installation is now complete.

Repository Database Creation

Create a database to hold the repository. You can create the database using the DBCA in interactive mode, but it's easier to do it silently. You now have a database for use as the repository.

Cloud Control 24ai Silent Installation

Make the following directories to hold the management server and agent. There are some restrictions on the possible path lengths, so don't make the directory structure too deep, especially for Windows installations. You can generate the base response files using the following command. These can provide inspiration. They are very big and full of comment about the parameters, so I never use them for the actual installation. Create a response file for the installation process. Start the silent software-only installation by running the "em24100_linux64.bin" file, making sure the is unset. If you have limited space in your "/tmp" location, you can provide an alternative location for temporary files. Once the installation completes, run the root scripts as the root user. We can now configure Cloud Control. Create a response file for the configuration process. Run the configuration using the response file we just created, making sure the is unset. Wait for the configuration to complete. This can take a long time. The login screen is available from a browser using the URL provided in the previous screen ("https://ol9-em241.localdomain:7803/em"). Log in with the username "sysman" and the password you specified during your installation. Once logged in, you are presented with a with the "License Agreement" screen. Click the "I Accept" button and you are presented with the homepage selector screen. On the right side of the screen it lists the post-installation setup tasks you need to work through. I have these documented in a separate article . Select the desired homepage (I chose Summary). You are presented with the selected screen as the console homepage. It might take some time for all of the targets to be recognised as up.

Startup/Shutdown

Cloud Control is set to auto-start using the "gcstartup" service. The "/etc/oragchomelist" file contains the items that will be started by the system. On a simple installation the default auto-start will cause a problem as Cloud Control will attempt to start before the database has started. The service can be disabled by commenting out (using #) all the contents of the "/etc/oragchomelist" file to prevent the auto-start and use start/stop scripts described below. If the start/stop needs to be automated, you can do it in the usual way using Linux service that calls your start/stop scripts that include the database management. Use the following commands to turn on all components installed by this article. Use the following commands to turn off all components installed by this article. For more information see: - Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Post-Installation Setup Tasks - Silent Upgrade of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to 24ai (24.1) - Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide 24ai (24.1) Hope this helps.
