Oracle Enterprise Manager

Immediately after we ship a new release of Enterprise Manager Grid Control, we always get a ton on questions on the availability of the various O/S port. 10gR5 was of no exception. Our mailboxes were flooded with inquiries from both the Oracle field and customers.

The good news is that first agent port has arrived.

Grid Control agent is now available for Linux on Itanium. You will find it as part of the mass agent deployment package that is available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) as well as eDelivery.

Here is the OTN URL: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html

The even better news is that we have published a My Oracle Support (a.k.a. Metalink) note to disclose the port release schedule. Look for note 793512.1. Publishing release date is always a tricky proposition. On one hand, it makes sense to do it because customers want to have advanced notice in order to plan ahead. On the other hand, we don't want to over promise and under deliver. So take the dates for what they are. We are working hard to get all the ports out.
