Oracle 11g – R1 11.1.0.1 Gridcontrol installation fails with “Configuration assistant “OMS Configuration” Failed”

I tried to install gridcontrol 11.1.0.1 on a weblogic server 10.3.2 and got this in the middle of my installation process (centos 5 + 11gR2 11.2.0.2).

On “OMS Configuration” i got the status “Failed” and in my logs i found this message about securing oms:

After some research i found out that i am using the wrong weblogic server version (10.3.3. instead 10.3.2).

Found this on metalink: [ID 1096766.1]
10.3.3 is being referenced instead of 10.3.2, as required.
Only the 10.3.2 version of WebLogic is supported for 11.1.0.1 Grid Control.

So, back to start, do it again … but now with the proper version 🙂

I have installed oracle 11.2.0.2, weblogic 10.3.2, gridcontrol 11.1.0.1 in about 2 hours and the installation was quite easy yet.

Lessons learned – it’s not always the best using fresh (aka the latest release) of software 🙂
