OEM 2.1

[irehman]

I have installed OEM 2.1 on NT, but when I try to discover Node it fails. MY question (Intellegent Agent gets installed automatically when you are installing OEM or is it installed seprately)

Thanks in Advance

What is your oracle version. Normally, intelligent agent is installed with the oracle. Then you have to start that

lsnrctl dbsnmp_start
lnstctl dbsnmp_status

and make sure that it had been started, on the oracle server side. tyen try discovering the node

Good luck,
Sam

I tried to
dbsnmp_start

but when I get lsnrctl dbsnmp_status it says subagent is not started.

It is not giving me any error.

If the node that you are trying to connect is on a solaris or any unix platforum, then try these trouble shooting measures. 1. First check to see whether the agent is running by typing the following
command
lsnrctl dbsnmp_status

if you get the following message
"The db subagent is not started"

then follow the following steps:
i) try to do the following
lsnrctl dbsnmp_start
lsnrctl dbsnmp_status

Even after this step you couldn't start the agent do
the below specified steps
a) Check to see the log messages under
$ORACLE_HOME/network/log/dbsn*.log

if the logs show NMS-00001

b) Go to the directory $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and rename the

mv snmp_ro.ora snmp_ro.ora.old
mv snmp_rw.ora snmp_rw.ora.old

c) Go to $ORACLE_HOME/agent and rename

mkdir q
mv *.q ./q
mv services.ora ./q

d) Start the Intelligent agent
lsnrctl dbsnmp_start

e) Confirm that it has started
lsnrctl dbsnmp_status

and also do
ps -ef|grep dbsnmp

f) Once after you confirm that you have succesfully
started the Intelligent agent

rm $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/snmp_ro.ora.old
rm $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/snmp_rw.ora.old
rm $ORACLE_HOME/agent/q/*.*


Good luck

Server is on NT box.

The Intelliget Agent is installed by default, but you must start them on control panel.
This is a well known bug in metalink site.
On NT platform, you don't have to use dbsnmp_* functions.
These function are there only because the developers have forget to remove them. This work only on UNIX.
To start listener on NT, use control panel, start Intelligent Agent.
This work together with Data Gatherer. You have to start this service also. If Datagatherer don't start, check your registry, the oracle homes must be in order. e.g. if you have home1, home2, but don't have home0, you have to create a home0(dumy).

If your node have not discovered databases,
delete %orahome%/network/admin/snmp_ro.ora, snmp_wr.ora files, ./agent/*.q files and restart intelligent agent.

you can check for error on %orahome%/network/log/nmiconf.log file for errors, or check %orahome%/network/agent/services.ora for discovered services.

Hi,

I have got the same problem as "IREHMAN". Although I discovered the node but can't run any job like export or backup.......

I have done the same which explained by "SAM" but could not run a job through OEM.

Any suggestions!

Thanks in advance......

[m_d_marian]

For the jobs, this is another story.
You have to create a account on the server machine where
the database is, with LOG ON AS A BATCH JOB user rigths.
In OEM console, on preference, you must log the job with this user, so the Intelligent Agent do the job batch thru this user with job batch rigts.

[irehman]

Okay, It worked

[sambavan]

Set the prefered credentials for the node and instance. For the instance it should be either sys or system. For the node, it should be a valid user name, with correct permissions. Then try creating a simple jobs like
for instance do select * from v$instance; and for the node job, do a directory listing and confirm that you can
successfully do things. Besure that OMS and OEM are of the same version. If they are different then you would have trouble in creating the events or scheduling the jobs.

Sorry,folks for giving an Unix troble shooting for NT.
