AS Guard switchover failed.

Question

OS : hpux B11.11
Oracle AS infrastructure 10.1.2.0.0
ASG toolkit 10.1.2.0.2
Situation: Infrastructure installed on both production and standby machines, the ASG relation can be built. Then I use the following command to try the switchover:
==============================================
$ asgctl.sh
Application Server Guard: Release 10.1.2.0.2
(c) Copyright 2004, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
ASGCTL> connect asg production ias_admin/password
Successfully connected to localhost:7890
ASGCTL> set primary database sys/password@infradb
ASGCTL> switchover topology to [standby]
==============================================
The AS config and the database can be Synchronized. Then
the opmn services start on standby machince, error existed.
==============================================

Executing opmnctl startall command
==============================================
I check the opmn log ($ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/opmn.log) and find the following messages:
==============================================
OPMN worker process exited with status 4. Restarting
In line 2 of $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml:
LPX-00224: multiple occurrences of attribute "xmlns" found
XML parse failed: error 224.
==============================================
I fixed the file $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml and run the command
$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/dcmctl resyncinstance -script -force
but the error still exists, the command create a new opmn.xml every time.
Any ideas about this problem? Help greatly appreciated.

Hi John,
Please let me know the post install you did to get Standalone ASG working. I installed standalone ASG for the first time so I was confused with the workaround given in 429530.1. How can I rename jazn.xml to original name as this is the first installation of ASG and not an upgrade... I got following error after performing workaround as per 429530.1.
ASGCTL> connect asg d-4148.kpit.com ias_admin/********
d-4148: -->ASG_DUF-4950: An error occurred on host "d-4148" with IP "10.10.24.74
