Cygwin and Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c on Windows Platform

Cygwin and Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c on Windows Platform

[Ty Newby]

I am working on setting up a new Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c OMS Hyper-V
VM (Windows 2012 R2 Standard x64) with an Oracle 12c v12.1.0.2 repository
database on a Windows 2012 R2 Standard x64 two node RAC cluster.  The new
OMS will be monitoring targets on AIX, Windows 2008, and Windows 2012
servers.

In my current OMS (12.1.0.3) setup, I've been manually deploying,
installing, and configuring the agents on the target servers.  However, with
the new version, I would like to use the abilities built in to Oracle Cloud
Control to deploy, install, and configure agents on new servers - both AIX
and Windows.

The Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c Basic Installation Guide says that I can
do this using Cygwin, however, it states:

"The Add Host Targets Wizard is certified and supported with Cygwin 1.7."

I'm new to using Cygwin so I was wondering where I could download Cygwin 1.7
and how to install the Cygwin 1.7 version?

I can only find the download for the latest version from the Cygwin site.

Also, has anyone else had experience with using Cygwin with Oracle
Enterprise Manager to deploy agents?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Ty

I would read that as a minimum requirement.  Have you tried this with 
the latest Cygwin?

Hello Ty,

yes, I have setup a new Enterprise Manager 13c on Windows recently,
using the current Cygwin distribution. Deploying agents works as
documented, no matter which OS platform it is.

With the new openssh version there is one minor addition to what is
documented at oracle.com:
- the SSH privilege separation feature

So either you need to disable this in sshd_config, or you add sshd as
user like below:

- Either set in sshd_config -

UsePrivilegeSeparation no

- or -

oracle@hostname ~
$ echo sshd:x:74:74:Privilege-separated-SSH:/var/empty/sshd:/sbin/nologin
>> /etc/passwd
oracle@hostname ~
$echo sshd:*:27:>> /etc/group

Restart the servcie.

Other than this, it is working as documented there, be sure to follow
the documentation *exactly* as usual with Oracle products, also you
may open a SR at MOS and ask them why they do not update their
documentation, ecause Cygwin 1.7 is not widely available anymore and
ask them to verify, that it is possible to also use the latest stable
release of Cygwin, so maybe there will be at least a new note added to
the Knowledge base over there at MOS.

Regards,
Gerrit
