I got this guide about 6 weeks ago. It has already become an invaluable resource for me. One of the things I was trying to do was to architect my Grid Control in such a way that it provided High Availability. I read the docs and looked at metalink, but the information was scattered throughout the web. Instead, the author clearly indicates the steps needed to install Grid Control on a RAC database as well as how to use load balancers in front of them for the Oracle agents to communicate instead of with the OMS’s directly. It was all right there in the guide in chapter 4. Who knew that Grid Control supported Fast Connection Failover via the emoms.properties file? (i.e em.FastConnectionFailover=true)
The author discusses about every possible configuration for Grid Control as well as how to setup the monitoring and metrics. He then gets into security, auditing, and day-to-day maintenance and administration of GC. I don’t know what I would do without this guide. It fills in all the gaps beautifully.

I have used Grid Control for the last 4 years for database management and performance monitoring. There is a lot of information spread across internet and Oracle OTN website, so every time I had a problem I would Google for help. Now that I have the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Implementation Guide, it has become my first resource to search for information related to Grid Control. The Grid Control architecture covered in the book is just right for DBAs to understand the whole picture of the product suite. It also details the Oracle version confusion. After the brief architecture overview, the book describes step by step the installation and configuration including screenshots, tips and workarounds. If you are a small shop, you find your procedure to install OMR and OMS in the same server. If you are using Grid Control to manage a large data center, you find your OEM management solution to the High Available Cluster OMS with RAC database as OMR in the book too. The tuning, backup and recovery, security, and high availability and disaster recovery advanced topics for Grid control are also covered in the book. I recommend this book to anyone who is new to Grid Control as a good starting book. Also it will be a good reference book for those who are using Grid Control in their daily job.

Been running OEM 10g GC for over the past 2 years for the control and monitoring of 30+ database servers and 60+ instances. The product works well, but finding a single source regarding proper tuning and maintenance has usually been painful – even with MetaLink.
The book covers quite a few gaps along with both common and uncommon gotchas encountered with the workarounds needed. Already dog-eared, so it is a keeper until outdated.

I have worked with OEM for 5 years (starting with 9i). For about a year I have been struggling with OEM 10g Grid Control. It is a powerful complex product that is hard to figure out where all the pieces are and what they do. I read the Oracle manuals, metalink notes, and attend Oracle’s 5 day instructor lead course. This excellent book tells you what you need to know implement OEM 10g GC. All the information is in one place. I wish I had this book when I was starting to implement OEM10g.
The structure of the book is well thought out and easy to use.
Big thanks to Michael New for writing this fine book.
