How to change OEM 12c Agent Port ?

Whenever we install EM agent, it will use default port at time of installation on target host. If we need to modify the port then we can follow below steps to change the port number.

Stop the EM Agent

$ $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent

Modify the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties file in the EM Agent home directory:


For example:

EMD_URL=http://example.com:3872/emd/main

Modify the <port number> in the EMD_URL property so the EM Agent uses a new unused port on the target host.


EMD_URL=http://example.com:3883/emd/main


Start the EM Agent.


$ $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl start agent


Check the EM status

  • What is Cell RAM cache?
Cell RAM cache is a cache in front of the Flash Cache on storage servers and is extension of the database cache. It is faster than the Flash Cache, but has smaller capacity.

  • What is adaptive scrubbing?

Oracle Exadata System Software automatically inspects and repairs hard disks periodically when the hard disks are idle. The default schedule of scrubbing is every two weeks. 

  • In event of storage server failure how RAM cache works?
In the event of storage server failure on the primary mirror, the database sends the RAM cache population to the secondary mirror, so that the blocks are now cached in the RAM cache for the secondary mirror. When the primary mirror comes back to online state, the blocks are populated back in the primary mirror’s RAM cache.
