You want to add/update your target server to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and you notice that the Agent Software for your platform is shown as unavailable. Here I will describe the method how to download the agent software manually and setup in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
This step is tested on Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12C 12.1.0.5.0
1) Ensure Cloud Control is set to offline mode. From the Setup menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Offline Patching.
2) Change the setting for Connection to Offline and click Apply.
3) From the Setup menu, select Extensibility, then select Self Update.
4) Click on Agent Software Type and open Agent Software updates page.
5) Select the Agent Software you want to download for example: Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit) and click Download button on the top of table
A message is displayed that contains the URL to be accessed to download
6) From an Internet-enabled computer, download the agent zip file
Once the update is downloaded, it can be imported to Enterprise Manager in one of the following ways:
7) Transfer the downloaded file to the OMS host, and run following command to import it to Enterprise Manager
8) Navigate to the 12.1 MOS home/bin directory and log in to emcli, running the command as the install user, for example:
./emcli login -username=sysman
./emcli import_update -omslocal -file=<absolute path to zipfile>
At this stage, the update will show up in a downloaded state in the Self Update home page.
Once the download is complete, select the Management Agent, then click Apply. This step will stage the Management Agent software in the Software Library and make it available to the Add Host Targets wizard, which you will use to install the Management Agent on host machines.
Click Agent Software to launch the Add Host Targets wizard.
