Agent is Unreachable (REASON = Connection refused) but the host is UP

Folks,
Can I pick your brains, I keep recieving the smtp alert from Grid control which says;
Agent is Unreachable (REASON = Connection refused) but the host is UP
upto 5 minutes later the smtp mail is received
Agent is Unreachable clear : <SERVER> - Agent Unreachable is cleared
I have tried the usual
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> emctl start agent
$> emctl status agent
$> emctl upload agent
This is successful however shortly the messages re-appear. This is on a pre-production grid control which manages 35+ databases on 25+ Hosts and the smtp errors are filling the mailbox with these messages. FYI - The Hosts causing my headache are from a 2 node RAC hosting several instances including ASM running agent version 10.2.0.4.0
The network team says they are not seeing any connection drops in their logs.
Any assistance would be appreciated

Thanks DBA05 for pointing me to look at the trc and nohup files in there I found a number of errors which I could enter into metalink and subsequently identified the Patch 7031906 which seems to have fix a number of the issues and errors identified.
Primarily
Using a 10.2.0.4 Grid Agent to monitor a 10.2.0.4 Database.
The 10.2.0.4 Agent version is certified to monitor a 10.2.0.4 Database.
The <AGENT_HOME>/sysman/log/emagent.trc shows that the health_check metric is repeatedly failing for this database :
2008-06-09 15:21:11,173 Thread-3658 ERROR fetchlets.healthCheck: GIM-00105: file not found
2008-06-09 15:21:11,174 Thread-3658 ERROR engine: [oracle_database,dbname,health_check] : nmeegd_GetMetricData failed : Instance Health Check initialization failed due to one of the following causes: the owner of the EM agent process is not same as the owner of the Oracle instance processes; the owner of the EM agent process is not part of the dba group; or the database version is not 10g (10.1.0.2) and above.
Repeated failure while executing this metric can cause the Agent to re-start, as it runs out of file handlers at the OS level.
- The database is a 64 bit installation but emagent executable is of 32 bit installation though the
64 bit agent software is installed.
I also found these worth a check
- Re-starting the database to create this hc_<SID>.dat file does not help in resolving the Healthcheck Metrics error.
- The <DATABASE_OH>/dbs/hc_<SID>.dat file has sufficient permissions to be read by the agent

    i am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem.  Here is how I resolved the issue.
    1.  Remove Network Connect
    2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
    3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
    4. Test if you can now connect.
    During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777.  For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

  • I have a MacBookPro, an iPad and an iMac using a wifi connection with an airport extreme base station. Lately I am having trouble with connection time outs. Right now the laptop and ipad are connected okay but the iMac has timed out and I can't reconnect

    Please help. Just the last week or so (maybe since Apple released a new software update for my Airport, I keep getting kicked off the net and can't reconnect - it doesn't even show my wifi network in the list of available networks. I am considering resetting the airport as detailed in the manual. If I do this will it act as a new one and can I set it up as from the beginning. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.8 and if I try to use the airport setup assistant it tells me i can't use this version of the app with the version of my OS (because I have upgraded my OS ) I assume
    I get a message saying my network requires a WPA password and when I put it in it says connection timeout - meanwhile here I am on my laptop and connecting okay to the net that way - so strange.
    If I connect directly to the computer I have a good connection so it is not my ISP
    I am 64 and a woman and I thought I was reasonably savvy having had Macs since 1992. This has me stumped and I really would like some advice - otherwise I think I'll just go iout andf buy a new airport.
    And just so you know . . . I have a smart TV and it is connecting to the net okay!

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • Connection refused, but works on diff computer

    Ok, i'm opening a connection to a web server using ssl (jsse) and this WAS working great. But now when I try to run the same code that was working on this computer (and still works upstairs) i get:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:305)
    at ..............
    The line of code that is causing this problem is
    OutputStream outputStream = null;
    outputStream = conn.getOutputStream(); <- RIGHT HERE
    the conn was setup and is not null because I can getURL() on it and it's context has been setup, so everything seems to be ok with the connection but once I try to get an output stream it blows with that connection refused exception. I have set doOutput to true aswell:
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    Like I said, this code works on a different computer now and used to work on this one. If anyone knows what could have happened to this machine I could appreciate any help.

  • Network recognises SIM card and modem,  but still cannot connect.  but the

    I have a Huawei E 220 modem. After downloading a duff Vodafone update, I lost my connection and even with fresh software could never quite get the modem to connect, even though it was speaking to the network. I´ve changed to another provider Telefonica Movistar in Spain (who own O2 in the rest of Europe), and this shows in the program window that I have 3G connection, a good signal, the Sim card is recognised, and that I am registered. However when I ask it to connect, it gives to error messages, the first of which is that it has not been possible to start the "Tool" and the next asking me to check the connection and start again. Unlike the Vodafone program there are no obvious windows allowing you to alter phone numbers or security codes (in fact there don´t seem to be any).
    Has anyone any idea what has gone wrong? I´ve deinstalled the and reinstalled both programs a number of times. Everything works fine until I click to connect to the internet.
    All I can think of is that there is something left somewhere from the duff program, but I have no idea where to look for it.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I went through all the settings in Internet Connect including preferences with the Vodafone set up, and they were eventually all correct, even though for some reason the number of asterisks in the coded sections seems to bear no relation to how many characters you entered . The modem was connecting to the network, went to "authenticating", and then could not "negotiate" a connection.
    In the new system with Telefonica, i can´t work out if it connects to Internet Connect, or is entirely self contained. I think the latter, as there are no settings in the Internet Connection which refer to it (Actually I had wiped every setting I could find before installing in case old Vodafone settings might be causing the problem). As it is, the blue light flashes, indicating a high Speed connection and the Movistar pane shows a good connection, that the card is "registrado" which I think means connected, but it then fails at the authentication point, just like Vodafone. As I understand the error messages, which are in Spanish, it then seems to think that the modem is not correctly installed and asks me to check the connections again. The preferences window for this Movistar program does not give you the option of entering phone numbers or passwords, other than the Sim card code which you get on any mobile phone and which is not network relevant.
    other than that and choosing what service you want from it and the connection sppeds which are set to mobile internet and automatic respectively, the movistar set up doesn´t give away any options.
    it seems to me that there is some simple software setting problem that remains from the duff program, but I just can´t work out where it might be. The first time I tried to solve a mobile modem program problem (which eventually was solved by downloading a later version of the mobile software), i ended up losing one of the core OSX prgrams, which I assumed was a part of the mobile modem set-up, and I don´t want to do that again. One of the weaknesses of the Apple support and problem solving system is that it does rather depend on you having internet access. When access is actuallay the problem and you have to go out to internet cafes and find solutions using cranky windows machines and internet expolorer which doesn´t seem to work seamlessly with Apple pages, it really gets to be longwinded drag.

  • Running an SQL Server Agent Job to execute a package but the job FAILS on Connections

  • ACE connection refused but not when accesing directly the server

    Hello,
    I am facing the following problem when I try to load a specific webpage using the VIP:
    If I skip the load balancer and hitting the real server, then the page is correctly loaded:
    I capture traffic and I saw that the VIP sends a 400 http error to both real server and to my laptop IP (10.160.8.73)
    Has someone any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance
    Ion

    Hi,
    This may help you:
    The ACE's tengig port is always /1.
    Let's say your ACE is in slot 3. It's backplane interface would then be
    Te3/1. You then use
    the monitor command to configure the source (SPAN) port to this interface.
    monitor session 1 source interface TenGigabitEthernet 3/1 both
    monitor session 1 destination interface GigabitEthernet x/y
    monitor session 1 filter vlan 510 - 511 , 640 , 652 - 656        <---- Line
    is optional and will capture only specified VLANs
    Configure the destination (SPAN) port as a trunk port so that the VLAN IDs
    will be preserved:
    interface Gix/y
    switchport
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport nonegotiate
    Be sure that the network analyzer connected to the destination port can
    monitor VLAN tags
    (a trunked port). Here is a link on how to configure NICs using some of the
    Intel chipsets to
    pass the VLAN tagging info:
    http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-005897.htm
    Wireshark has posted this info, as well as how to configure NICs with the
    Broadcom chipset:
    http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/VLAN#head-e0dc0f9fe0cc6b1b1866d78da7b97ead34dca1d8
    With IOS Release 12.2(18)SXD and later releases, when a destination port is
    a trunk, you can
    use the list of VLANs allowed on the trunk to filter the traffic transmitted
    from the
    destination port.  This should not be necessary if you configured the
    optional 'filter' line
    in the monitor session configuration.
    interface Gix/y
    switchport
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 102, 103
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport nonegotiate

  • Database connection, done by the host?

    I have a database application which I want a provider to host for me. The problem is that in order to get it to run I need to set up an ODBC connection through Windows. So how can I get it to work when a service provider is hosting it? Is it normal to request them to set up the connection, or is there a way of automating this, or some other workaround?

    This depends on your hosting provider.
    I expect most hosting providers do not want to have you using ODBC, and they are right. The best way to build something like this would be using a simple SQL database (MySQL is popular) and use JDBC drivers particular for this database.
    However, always make sure that the use of these tools is permitted by your provider!

  • Agent is unreachable

    Hi!
    I'm using EM12cR2 on Solaris SPARC. EM agent 12.1.0.2.0 became to crash after 2 days network subnet was changed.
    How occurs the problem:
    1. I started agent
    2. After few hours i got a notification
    Message=Agent is Unreachable (REASON = unable to connect to http server at https://DSSINVDB01:3872/emd/main/. [peer not authenticated]). Host is unreachable (REASON = Unknown Error pinging the host of URL https://DSSINVDB01:3872/emd/main/.1).
    3. After 10..30 mins i got notification that agent became up again.
    4. steps 2-3 occured few times per day.
    5. After few hours or days agent became unreachable for keeps and didn't restart
    ./emctl status agent gets the following:
    Status agent Failure:unable to connect to http server at https://dssinvdb01:3872/emd/lifecycle/main/. [peer not authenticated]
    Agent is Not Running
    $ps -ef | grep agent

    Others agents on other hosts don't have such issue.
    I checked logs of EM agent and didn't found any essential errors.
    I totally cleared (deinstalled & removed all files) and installed fresh agent binaries on that host. But it also didn't help.
    Ntp clients configured...

    On the one server with patch cluster + 10_Recomended problem was solved, but on another one - still exists.
    I've got notifications
    Agent is Unreachable (REASON = unable to connect to http server at https://dssinvdb01:3872/emd/main/. [peer not authenticated]). Host is unreachable (REASON = Unknown Error pinging the host of URL https://dssinvdb01:3872/emd/main/.1).
    3 times per day. Agent is restarted ( emctl status agent > Started at is refreshed regulary )
    This server has also Solaris 10 update 10 installed but i'm not sure that latest 10_recommended was aplied as on the first host.
