Whenever we ship a new release of Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, one of the first questions that always come back to us is when we will release port X, with X being the operating system environment that a particular customer is interested in. We get this question because we typically release Enterprise Manager on Linux and Windows first, followed by port releases. The approach is similar to what other teams at Oracle do.
The wait for Enterprise Manager 10gR5 ports is now completely over! The final two ports of Enterprise Manager agents for 64-bit Windows (x86-64) and HP Tru64 Unix are now available. You may download them from both eDelivery and Oracle Technology Network.
Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10gR5 is now available on 15 different O/S platforms, the most ever. This includes support for running both Enterprise Manager Server (OMS) and agent on 7 different operating system platforms (Windows, Linux, Linux x86-64, Solaris SPARC, HP/UX PA-RISC, HP/UX Itanium, AIX 5L) and 8 additional operating system platforms for EM agents only (Power Linux, z/Linux, Linux Itanium, HP Tru64 Unix, Solaris x86, Solaris x86-64, Windows x86-64 and Windows Itanium). In addition, the port releases came out on record time - 4 months from the original 10gR5 release.
So, no more "are we there yet". 10gR5 is out in force. It is time to deploy it.
