Today, one of my blog reader asked how we can add new agent software to Oracle Cloud Control. He says he installed Cloud Control on a Linux server and now he wants to deploy cloud control agents to Solaris Servers. Adding new agents can be done by self update feature of Cloud Control. Click “setup”, and then extensibility and click to Self Update:
Click to “the Agent software” link in the new screen, you’ll see all available updates for agent software. It includes the agent software you haven’t installed. Choose the one you want to download and click download to create a background job to download the agent (you can schedule it to run immediately or a later time).
You can follow the download process:
After it’s downloaded, click “apply” button:
So it’s ready to be deployed.
Important: You should set “My Oracle Support” credentials” and “Software Library” to be able to use “self-update” feature.

thanks,
Indeed info provided. Do we have separate agent software available for 12c . Some security reason ssh/sudo is not enable between host. In this case we can not deploy agent from oem12c to other host. we need separately agent software linux_86_64 for agent installation. I explored all the possibilites but not succeeded.
I tried silent installation but getting checkdirpermisson.
Please suggest.
Suresh, I’ll write a blog post about how to deploy agents in silent mode soon.
Is there a possibility to implement new platform specific agents in the Cloud Control without using Selfupdate … meaining is there a possibilty to download the Agent software manually out of the Cloud Control ?

Hi Gokhan,

HI There
Need some help again i am installing the new agent12r2 everything goes fine with the install agent show as up but when i go in EM i get this any help please.
unable to connect to http server at https://:3872/emd/main/. [peer not authenticated]
Shaun, how do you install the new agent (which method)? I don’t see the hostname of the server. Does it really try to connect to an invalid URL or did you masked it?
Hi Gokhan,
I’m trying to deploy AGENT12c on HP-UX Itanium machine but when i check agent updates i realised that the agent is available only for Linux platform.
How can i proceed?
Regards
Hi Elektra
As I know EM12c supports HP-UX Itanium. If you don’t see agents for HP-UX, you may need to download it. Please check my related post

Gokhan
Hello,
I have the Self Update screen open, but the “Check Updates” button is ‘grayed’ out and I cannot click on it. Do you know if I am missing a management pack or what else would cause this issue? I am trying to download the SQL Server agent, but all I see when I open then Agent Software link is the linux agent software I have already installed.
thanks,
Lukas
