Hi,

I currently have a Windows 2003 Server running 10G Grid Control
Release 4. This will be used to monitor 5 Solaris servers running
Oracle 9208.

I manually installed the management agent onto one of the solaris
servers (thought it was easier than deploying as there are only 5
agents required) and it registered successfully with the OMS showing
all the appropriate targets (db, listener etc.).

I repeated this exercise on the 2nd Solaris server and all appeared to
install successfully. However, when I checked the OMS only the actual
Solaris host was identified as a target - not the 9i db or listener.

Therefore, I tried to manually add the 9i db as a target and this
worked but unfortunately it still does not recognise the listener and
there does not seem to be an option to add it manually.

Therefore, rather than manually add components, I think I need to try
and resolve why the agent didn't pick up the db / listener in the
first place. I'm fairly new to grid control so any pointers in the
right direction would be most appreciated.

Best regards
John

you can edit the target.xml file under the agents /emd directory.
The agent gets the target hosts listeners or other things from that
file.

Johne:

As "unscientific" as it sounds, I've had to mess with the EM Grid
Control agents myself. Especially under HP-UX a couple of times.
Have you tried stopping/restarting the agent? Forcing an upload? Is
the dbsnmp account unlocked?
