This document will detail the steps required to stop and start Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control and all its components. For information on installing Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control see the post Install Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11gR1 on Linux.
In this document I will be making references to the OMS_HOME and AGENT_HOME. If you do not happen to know what those locations are you can find them in the /etc/oratab file.
[oracle@gc bin]$ grep -E 'oms|agent' /etc/oratab *:/u02/app/oracle/product/weblogic/oms11g:N *:/u02/app/oracle/product/weblogic/agent11g:N [oracle@gc bin]$
So in this example the OMS_HOME would be /u02/app/oracle/product/weblogic/oms11g and AGENT_HOME would be /u02/app/oracle/product/weblogic/agent11g.
NOTE: The Oracle Enterprise Manger 11g Grid Control install process puts a script called gcstartup in /etc/init.d that will stop and start the Oracle Management Service and Agent on OS startup/shutdown. It does not start or stop the repository database. If you would like to stop the automated startup/shutdown of Grid Control services place comments in front of the OMS and AGENT home directories in the /etc/oratab file or remove the script /etc/init.d/gcstartup.
Stopping Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control
Stop the Oracle Management Service
From the OMS_HOME directory run the following to stop the OMS and WebTier services.
OMS_HOME/bin/emctl stop oms –all [oracle@gc ~]$ /u02/app/oracle/product/weblogic/oms11g/bin/emctl stop oms -all Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Release 1 Grid Control Copyright (c) 1996, 2010 Oracle Corporation.

Note if you do not include the –all flag the HTTP services for the WebLogic Server will not be shutdown.
Stop the Oracle Management Agent
From the AGENT_HOME directory run the following to stop the Agent.

Thanks. I wish Oracle’s own documentation was this simple and concise.
Hello Chuck,
Thank you very much for visiting Oracle Distilled. I am happy to hear you found the post helpful.
What about Weblogic Server? I thought this was integral with OEM Grid at 11g?
Hello Phil,
The Weblogic process associated with Grid Control are shutdown when issuing emctl oms stop -all.
Thanks Eric. Been digging through the docs and this is light years better. I’m comfortable with GC 10g, but still learning 11g. This helps a lot.
Hello DF!
I am very happy you found the post helpful. Thank you!
Hi,
I would prefer to stop/start the database (running in $ORACLE_HOME) in a script without interaction with:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME
and
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME
which will also stop/start your listener!
This makes the whole stop/start script easy as:
oracle@myhost:~> cat stop_grid.sh
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME
$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent
$OMS_HOME/bin/emctl stop oms -all
oracle@myhost:~> cat start_grid.sh
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME
$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl start agent
$OMS_HOME/bin/emctl start oms
If you simply put this in oracle $HOME directory, it’s very easy to use.
Paul, I liked your simple but elegant start/stop scripts.
Thanks for sharing.
My server was cold booted yesterday, before I stopped the agent first, then oms, then database then listener.
later when I tried to restart all process I found out that the emctl file under oms11g/bin was 0 bytes, but not under agent11g/bin, can I copy this file over the oms11g/bin, please I need help
Hello Miguel,
I would not recommend copying the emctl binary from the agent home to OMS home. The binaries may or may not be similar. If you have a backup of your OMS home I would suggest restoring the file from the backup. If you do not have a backup you could trying installing the OMS into another home or another machine and then copying that binary to your existing OMS Home.
Thanks a lot!
Hello Neel,
I am glad you found the post useful. Thank you for visiting Oracle Distilled.
Hi Eric,

Hi Eric,
Nice …. Concise steps………… Really helpful.
Dont know why Oracle cant keep it simple.
Keep up the good work.
thanks,
Vijay
Hello Vijay,
I am happy to hear you found the post helpful. Thank you for your kind words.
Eric
Thanks for your detailed post. I had a lot off issues in getting to make a EM11gR1 work, but after a few days (may be there was a server restart), the OMS is not starting up. when I give emctl oms start, OMS is not starting up and giving a error.
logfile:
/u01/app/oracle/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/servers/EMGC_OMS1/logs/EMGC_OMS1.out
OMS version 11.1.0.1.0 is not compatible with repository version 10.2.0.4.0 Repository needs to be upgraded.
but my DB is 11.1.0.1.0 and its patched with bug fix 9066130. My WLS 10.3.2 is also patched with WDJ7.
Pls advise. thx.
Hello Laks,
Are upgrading a 10g OEM to 11gR1? From the error message it looks the database already has repository.
Eric Jenkinson
Really excellent post.Concise and point to point. Much better than Oracle documentation.
Thanks for sharing.

This documentation simply works. Thanks for cutting out the junk unlike the official documentation.
Nice explanation
