Installing Oracle Management Agent in Silent Mode
First we need the management agent software.
If you are using online mode in OMS( Oracle Management Server) ( you can easily download agent from internet, if you are using offline mode (in this mode you did not enter oracle support id or your oms is not open to internet) you need some additional steps to download management agent software.After downloading management agent software, you need to upload this zip to client which we install agent. Then install in silent mode.
Lets start with emcli command which query OMS repository for agent software .
Then download example agent software for windwos 64 bit platform and apply this software to OMS reposiyory for future installations.
Finally install management agent to client machine in silent mode.
- Download agent software from OMS repository: Download the Management Agent Software onto the OMS Host Using EMCLI

Note: If you don't have the software for required platform, you need additional steps for downloading from internet and appliying to OMS. Here we have 3 platforms which are downloaded previously, I will add windows 64 bit software to illustrate.
- Download agent software from internet: (Acquiring Management Agent Software in Offline Mode)
If you run grid12c server on offline mode, you have to perform additional steps before download the agent install software:
1. From the Setup menu,
select Extensibility, then select Self Update.
2. On the Self Update home page,
click Check Updates. A message is displayed that contains the
URL to be accessed to download a catalog of all updates.
3. From an Internet-enabled
computer, download the catalog file using the aforementioned URL.
Note:
Do not unzip the file.
4. Copy the downloaded file to OMS host machine.
5. Navigate to the home/bin directory on OMS and log in to EMCLI, run the command as the install user, for example:
Login successful
[oracle@grid12c bin]$ ./emcli login -username=sysman

Operation completed successfully. Self Update catalog has been
uploaded to Enterprise Manager. Please use the Self Update Home to view and
manage updates.
6. Return to the Self Update home
page and do a refresh to see a count of new updates in the Available
Updates column. Here you can compare plugin row with section 2 picture. Here it has 28 available updates, at section 2 it was 22. This means repository is refreshed !
7. For Type, select Agent Software, then
select Open from the Actions menu. The Agent
Software Updates page appears to show the Management Agent software available
for different platforms
8. Select an update from the list
of available updates. All entries other than the one that matches the
platform of the OMS host should show their status asAvailable.
9. Click Download. A
message displays with a URL and instructions.
10. After downloading zip file and uploading to oms server run command:
[oracle@grid12c bin]$ ./emcli import_update -omslocal
-file=/home/oracle/p14570373_112000_Generic.zip
Processing update: Agent Software - Agent Software (12.1.0.2.0)

Operation completed successfully. Update has been uploaded to
Enterprise Manager. Please use the Self Update Home to manage this update.
11. On grid control self update page, click refresh. And press apply button .
12. After job finishes you can see that agent software is applied
Now we can run the emcli commd again and see that windows 64 bit software is available on OMS repository.
[oracle@grid12c bin]$ ./emcli get_supported_platforms

Now we can download agent software from OMS repository to any directory on host, for example /tmp.
[oracle@grid12c bin]$ ./emcli get_agentimage -destination=/tmp -platform="Linux x86-64" -version=12.1.0.2.0

- Installing management agent software to clients: (Install the Management Agent Using the agentDeploy Script)
1. Unzip the file on a stage directory on client that agent will be installed.
$ unzip 12.1.0.2.0_AgentCore_226.zip
2. Fill the agent.rsp file as following:
$ cat agent.rsp
