Dbsnmp

[rommel]

Hi,

I just finished installing Oracle db 9.2.0.1 on AIX 5L 64-bit.
After installation i see a process dbsnmp which eats up 90% CPU
resources. How do I shutdown this process? Is this tool needed or
important?

Thanks

i got it, agentctl stop agent...
I have also istalled 10g db in the same machine, but dbsnmp is not
found/istalled. Is it depricated in 10g?

The default installation only includes Database control which manages a single/clustered instance on a single host. Although it can use an agent when managing a remote host it isn't installed by default because of the default local host configuration.

Personal experience on a home testing setup says it's a bit buggy and doesn't always report the correct information but that could just be my setup.

Grid control is a separate install (1GB download!!) which can manage multiple hosts and install agents on those hosts. I haven't bothered with this yet till my new server turns up at work next week. Apparently the minimum memory requirement for grid control alone is 1GB.

I haven't played with this much so any corrections (even a clue as to whether it's actually on the DVD version of the software) would be welcome.

9i uses agentctl utility, and runs the dbsnmp process.
10G uses the emctl utility and runs an emagent process
