Purpose

This document is intended to assist Enterprise Manager Grid Control system administrators in  planning for a Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 installation and upgrade.  The list of Support Notes and Oracle Documentation links listed below can help you successfully implement Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0 in your environment.
