January 2006

These release notes list the System Monitoring Plug-ins that are documented, describe how to access the documentation, and how to install a plug-in. These release notes also describe known issues and limitations.

Documentation Description and Access

This document contains release notes for the following System Monitoring plug-ins:

You can access the documentation for the System Monitoring Plug-ins from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Alternatively, if you have a DVD, launch the index.htm file from a browser. You can find data sheets, the certification matrix, and other documentation in the OTN under Enterprise Manager and in Metalink.

Installing a Plug-in

You can download the System Monitoring plug-in archives from OTN by clicking Downloads, then Enterprise Manager. If you have a DVD, the plugin_archives directory contains the necessary plug-in archives to install each of the plug-ins.

To install a plug-in, do the following:

  1. Copy or Save the desired plug-in archive to your desktop.

  2. Launch the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console using a browser on your desktop.

  3. Follow the instructions outlined in the System Monitoring Plug-in Installation Guide for this particular plug-in.

Known Issues

The following sections describe known issues that exist for this release.

Universal Bugs and Limitations

The following generic Enterprise Manager Grid Control bugs and limitations impact all System Monitoring plug-ins.

  • Oracle Bug# 4736085 — An inconsistent error state appears if you undeploy System Monitoring plug-ins from multiple Agents, in which some Agents do not have the correct preferred credentials set.

    • Cause — If you first attempt to undeploy plug-ins from multiple Agents, but some Agents do not have the preferred credentials set, an expected error message appears. However, if you then attempt to undeploy from Agents that have the correct credentials set, caching problems continue to show the same error message.

    • Workaround — If you encounter this problem, log out and log back in. Navigate to the Undeploy Management Plug-ins page, and select only the Agents that have preferred credentials set.

  • Context-sensitive Help — None of the System Monitoring plug-ins have context-sensitive online help. This feature will be supported in the future.
