Intelligent agent, adding nodes & databases

Hello
I am trying to add remote databases (8i on Linux) using Management Server in OEM (9i on
Windows)
The node successfully gets discovered
But the message in Oracle Home Information that I am getting is
"Oracle Home information not available. Please upgrade to agent version 9.0 or higher."
Linux m/c's node is added successfully. But I am not able to see the nodes like Databases, HTTP Servers, Listeners etc under the node it
And since it has automatically discovered the node, it doesnt give me the option to add the
databases manually
Searched on metalink and got to know (in Note 160427.1) that nmumigr8 utility has to be run
But this needs to be run on the remote database that needs to be added in OEM
I do not have any installation of 9i on Linux
Where will I get this utility ?
Is there anything I am interpreting wrong ?
What shall I do ?

Hi,
Sometimes Agent on target node gets messed up.
Try to clear it up by removing the Linux node from OEM Navigator, then go to Linux box, stop the agent, then remove following files on Linux box:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/*.q
$ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/services.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/snmp*.ora
Then start Agent again and check $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/services.ora - normally you should see database, listener and node as entries there.
If you do not see your database in the file, then probably something messed up with your listener.ora file, cause this is where Agent finds out about your database.
If you do see you database in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/services.ora, then go ahead and do node discovery in the OEM
I have 37 nodes with 60 databases in my OEM setup, it should work. I use OEM 9.2 with targets ranging from 8.1.6 to 9.2
Good luck
Albert

  • OMS and Intelligent Agent not seeing databases

    I am running Oracle9i on a Solaris box and trying to set up OMS on a PC. I managed to get the intelligent agent started on the Solaris box but now when I do a node discovery, all that I can see is the HTTP servers and they say that they are stopped. How do I see the databases so I can schedule jobs on them?

    If databases are not discovered, you could have a problem with any of the following files.
    listener.ora
    oratab ( UNIX/Linux)
    Microsoft Registry (Windows)
    1. Check the $ORACLE_HOME\network\agent\log\nmiconf.log for warnings or errors.
    2. Verify the database sid exists in the listener.ora file. When the Agent parses the listener.ora, it looks for the "sid_list=...." section. If this section is missing, the Agent will not discover the database.
    3. Verify the database sid exists in the oratab or Microsoft Registry. (In some cases, the sid is case sensitive.)
    4. Stop and Restart the Agent. NOTE: This step is necessary because the Agent will only parse the files during startup.
    5. Check the services.ora file and verify the Database services now exists in the file.
    6. Refresh the Node through the EM Console.

  • Is the intelligent agent mandatory ?

    Hi everybody,
    I want to supervise Oracle database 7.3.4.3.1 on Dynix 4.4.2 server with OEM.
    I see on the OEM architecture that we need an intelligent agent on Node to supervise.
    Does someone know if the intelligent agent is mandatory for OEM ?
    If it is, does someone know if there is an agent available on Dynix Sequent for this version of Oracle ??
    Or can we use a new version of intelligent agent to supervise the 7.3.4 Database ?
    Thank you for your help
    Jean-christophe

    Does someone know if the intelligent agent is mandatory for OEM ?
    Yes, it its mandatory for the Management Server to do its best. When you use the Intelligent Agent, the Management Server can also use an OEM toolset, which can include, Oracle Expert, Index Analyzer, Capacity Planner, which require access to the OEM repository. Without the agent running, this is not possible. The Agent works based on the SNMP protocol.
    If it is, does someone know if there is an agent available on Dynix Sequent for this version of Oracle ??
    I do not know. Yet you could install OEM in any platform (Windows, Unix, OpenVMS, etc) and still control your database server as needed. SNMP does this for you, and when you install OEM, you can either connect to an existing repository (in your database server) or create a new one. In 9i you have the option of having your own OEM database. I recommend Windows for OEM, even when you run a Unix database, unless you have a business constraint, it tends to be user friendly and at least for me, I typically get later versions handy in Windows NT/2000 than for Solaris or HP-UX, etc in my environment.
    Or can we use a new version of intelligent agent to supervise the 7.3.4 Database ?
    It is my understanding that later versions of the agent can control older versions of the database, with some contraints. You need to refer to the OEM documentation for details, as to what you need to do. I have been able to control databases from 8i (Release 2 and 3) /9i (Release 1) with earlier versions of Oracle8, namely, 8.0.3 (beta), 8,0.5, and 8.0.6, not 7.3.x. Before, I hand used a native configuration with OEM 2.x and 7.3.3 at an earlier time only.

  • Intelligent Agent doesn't recognise database

    I've got a database under ORA 8.1.7. The Net8 Manager was replaced by Net Manager when I installed the version 9i migration assistent. So the listener is configured by this newer version. I copied the listener.ora file in the correct Oracle Home directory but still the intelligent agent refuses to recognise the database. OEM fails to show the database in return and thus I'm not able to backup the DB, e.g.
    Thanks for your help,
    Claus.

    Problem solved by uninstalling Oracle completely (why doesn't it remove itself from the registry?) and installing it again.
    Now I've got another problem. See new thread.

  • Linux Intelligent Agent - OEM cannot discover node

    Hi,
    I have a Linux AS 2.1 Server with a Oracle 9.2.0.1 Database running. I have 2 Oracle Management Servers ... one is running on this running on the Linux AS 2.1 Server and another on Solaris 9i.
    When start the OEM on the Linux Server and try to discover the Databases on the Linux Server themselves then everything goes fine. When I am trying to discover the databases on the Linux Server from the OEM running in Solaris it does not work.
    The Solaris box has connection to the Linux Server and the repository for the Solaris OEM runs on the Linux Machine.
    When I go back to the OEM on the Linux Machine then I can discover the Solaris box.
    To come to a boddom line here: Whatever I do I am not able to discover the databases on the Linux AS Server besides from the OEM directly running on this box.
    Is that a bug in the Linux Intelligent Agent ? If yes is there a Patch to fix that ? Or is there a work around.
    Please let me know if you have any idea.
    Thanks Marcus

    Ok I figured it out .... the problem is/was the entry of the Loopback Interface entry in the etc hosts:
    127.0.0.1 dbserver localhost.localdomain localhost
    The Intelligent Agent listens to the Loopback Interface now. All incoming requests from and OMS will of course get a timeout because the IP address of the server is 10.1.0.10 .
    You have 2 options now:
    1. Change the entry in the /etc/hosts below to localhost and add an entry to the /etc/hosts file:
    127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost
    10.10.0.1     dbserver
    Restart the Intelligent Agent and any OMS in your network should be able to discover the note.
    2. In the snmp_rw.ora file you can bind the Intelligent Agent with the following entries to an specific hostname and/or port:
    DBSNMP.HOSTNAME = <hostname or ip address>
    DBSNMP.CS_BASE_PORT = <port number>
    If you start up Agent now you will see in the nmiconf.log file error messages like that:
    Warning: No Listener found for SID db01. db01 will be skipped     
    Warning : No Listener found for SID db02. db02 will be skipped
    Warning : No Listener found for SID db03. db03 will be skipped
    Warning : No Listener found for SID omsrep. omsrep will be skipped
    This is because the Agent looks up in the tnsnames.ora file or whatever you name resolution is and finds the connect descriptors still withe the old name. So all entries in the tnsnames.ora file have to be changed.

  • HELP! Oracle FailSafe - Listener fails when adding standalone database

    Well, I have a cluster of two nodes with the following specs:
    (1) an Oracle 10g database each
    (2) Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS)
    (3) Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition
    (4) Intel Itanium Processor
    (5) Oracle Failsafe 3.3.3 for Windows 2003 64-bit
    The 64-bit Oracle Failsafe doesn't come with Oracle Failsafe Manager, so I used a Failsafe Manager remotely from another clustered servers. The version is also 3.3.3, but it's running on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
    Well, after connecting to the 64-bit cluster, I added the standalone database to a Cluster Group. There are two cluster groups on the Server:
    (1)"Cluster Group" (the default cluster group created by MSCS); containing an IP address, a network name, Oracle Cluster Services, and the Quorum hard drive.
    (1)"ORACLE DB" A cluster gropu I created for the database; containing another IP address, a network name for the IP address, and every hard drive volumes of the database files.
    The database currently resides on the Node 2 (because I created it there). I have successfully verified the database (using "Verify Standalone Database" option). BUT when I added the database into the cluster group ORACLE DB, it failed with the following message:
    23 20:48:48 ** ERROR : FS-10066: Failed to start Windows service OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener for the Oracle Net listener
    When I opened the Windows Event Viewer, apparently the Listener Service had started, but it soon "terminated unexpectedly":
    At first, the Listener Service appeared to be started:
    But this is what happened next; it seemed the Listener Service terminated abruptly after entering the running state for a very short time:
    What happened? What should I do? What is the problem? Many thanks!
    PS: the following are the messages from both Verifying Standalone Database and Adding Standalone Database. The verification was successfull, but I just failed to add the database:

  • Intelligent agent 10r2 on failsafe configuration

    Hi
    I'm going to install Intelligent agent 10GR2 on Oracle failsafe Environment.
    I refer to NOTE: 396659.1 .
    One Ressource group is available on each node ( 1 on node A -1 on node B
    question: should i deploy as many agent as group running .? port numbers should then be différents ?
    tks

    Tks for your reply
    For this moment i've deployed one agent agent OFF on each node .This part of configuration is ok ,
    i can monitor database from grid control.
    the goal is configuring agent for failsafe now and integrate agent OFS to ressource . ,
    I've got an error while step 'add ressource to group ' ( refer to NOTE:396659.1 paragraf 11)
    The added ressouce ( grid agent) hang online pending on the screen of failsafe manager.
    In the note it's notified to add Network name ,and IP address as dependencies, but i can find only Virtual IP adress in the scrolling box.
    any idea ??

  • FailSafe - Intelligent Agent - Network Name

    Here's the ordeal.
    A client has a windows 2000 cluster (gak). I set up Oracle FailSafe 3.3.1 and for several months it has worked fine. THey had a poweroutage the other day and the UPS battery was running low. They shut the servers down without taking the group offline (dough). When the first box went down a failover occured. Then the second was shutdown. Upon restarting they did not realize the database was set to not failback automatically. Then it is unclear what occured as panic set in. Now I have repaired most of the damage and the group is back ionline with the two datbaase and listener functioning properly. Howwever the Agent has failed to be restored because the Network Name resource fails to come online. Windows provides little info on why.
    For a brief time I was able to get the Network Name to come online by removing it an recreating it with the Microsoft Cluster Administrator. With the fully qulified name and domain machinename.foobar.local. Then the intelligent agent was added and everything came on line. Meanwhile, back at the OEM management server, it was restarted and an atemmpt was made to refresh the node. WANK! WOn't refresh the node. An error says that there is a conflict between the Intelligent Agent version and the OEM Management server....both however are found to be 2.2 (I suspect though the agent was reinstalled on the cluster but I have not confirmed. Here come the questions:
    Why does now the Network Name fail to come online? (tried everything now excpet rebooting the entire shooting match.)
    Verifying the INtelligent Agent version?
    Anythoughts on troubleshooting the agent would be appreciated before I rebuild the whole freakin' mess....

    Tks for your reply
    For this moment i've deployed one agent agent OFF on each node .This part of configuration is ok ,
    i can monitor database from grid control.
    the goal is configuring agent for failsafe now and integrate agent OFS to ressource . ,
    I've got an error while step 'add ressource to group ' ( refer to NOTE:396659.1 paragraf 11)
    The added ressouce ( grid agent) hang online pending on the screen of failsafe manager.
    In the note it's notified to add Network name ,and IP address as dependencies, but i can find only Virtual IP adress in the scrolling box.
    any idea ??

  • Dicovering Intelligent Agent on Linux fails with VD-4565

    I try to discover an Intelligent Agent 8.1.5 running on a Linux server with an Oracle 8.1.5 DB from an Oracle Enterprise Management Server 2.1. We just upgraded from OEM 2.0.4 to 2.1 and I had no problem with the Linux agent under 2.0.4.
    After starting the Agent on the Linux server the SERVICES.ORA and SNMP_RO.ORA files contain the information about the services running on the server. When I start the Discovery Wizard it fails with the error 'Discovery Failed:VD-4565:The agent of the node is already being deleted'.
    Then I stoped the agent and all service on the Linux server and did the following. I removed the SID_LIST entry from the LISTENER.ORA file and used the LOCAL_LISTENER init.ora parameter for the database. I know that the agent needs the SID_LIST to discover the database services, but I just wanted to give it a try. After restarting the database, listener and agent the SERVICE.ORA and SNMP_RO.ORA files did not contain any service information as expected. I tried to discover the agent again from the OEM 2.1 console and everything seemed to work fine. No errors this time. The Linux node was added to Nodes folder in the Navigator tree, but for sure no database or listener.
    Therefore I put the SID_LIST back into the listener.ora file and restarted the listener and agent. The service information were included in SERVICES.ORA and SNMP_RO.ORA file again. So I tried a Refresh Node from the OEM console and the error VD-4565 showed up again.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on an how I can manage a Linux database from an OEM 2.1 console?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello Peter,
    I, alas do not have the answer for you. But... your symptom is EXACTLY LIKE MINE!!I was running OEM 2.0.4 and Oracle on a linux box (unfortunately, today I did something wrong and blew the database away!!!, I do not want to tell you how many hours I spend getting the database up, connected and communitcating with Windows NT box running OEM!) I made the switch from 2.0.4 to 2.1, and everything quit. More or less. I fixed my tnsnames.ora file on the NT side. That allowed me to connect. I got the Agent (sortof) running on the linux box and then I could discover the linux host computer name and domain, but it would not find ANY database. Although I could connect from the linux box, the nt box using oem (direct to db), sqlplus, and Access odbc!!! All listeners were there, etc. I did check the snmp*.ora files, and they would not discover anything (linux side) even though the LISTENER was listening, and tnsnames were naming and instances were instancing. My guess is yet another bug.
    Sorry for long reply. Now I will RELOAD THE ENTIRE DATABASE AND APP AGAIN!! I so far have been totally unable to run on the liux side, net assist and net easy config, but I could sucessfully bypass those apps by correctly using and configuring initSID.ora, etc and the other *.ora files.

  • Oracle 8i Intelligent Agent Service problem

    Hi!
    We successfully installed Oracle 8i (8.1.7 ee) on Intel P-IV (Xeon) server running Windows 2000 Advanced server (Service Pack 2). It was working properly until now. There was no problem in implementing the tricks useful in installation. After that, database service "OracleService<DBName>" presented problem by not automatically starting on computer startup but it was tamed by "Oradim" command added to startup folder.
    All was going smoothly for about a month now but when I rebooted the server PC yesterday, the service "Oracle<HomeName>Agent" failed to start. Along with it the DataGatherer and TNSListener services also failed (Only db service OracleService<DBName> starts but very very slowly). The Windows Event Viewer descriped the problme for Agent service as ,"The Oracle<HomeName>Agent service terminated with the following error: %%3221356551 ". The Event ID is always 7023 for this error. The rest of services just don't give any error codes. It is also stated that nothing has been installed/Uninstalled on this PC in the last several days and no configration changes, in tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, win registry has been made. The TCP/IP configration are intact and NTFS folder and file rights are properly defined.
    Starting the service using "Net Start <service_name>" also failed with the message,"System error 7 has occured, Storage control blocks will be destroyed".
    Searching online, I also performed some steps in correcting the problem like backup and delete all *.q, snmp_ro.ora, snmp_rw.ora, services.ora files. But to no help. The log files in Oracle_Home\network\logs also dont record the problem even after setting the trace level to Admin or 16. The Agent service simply refuses to start...
    Reinstalling Oracle (over existing one, not first removing it altogether. We simply cann't do this now for data loss!!!) or just the Intelligent Agent itsself using univeral installer also fails at the end when it tries to start the intellegent Agent Service Oracle<HomeName>Agent. This time the error described is "O/S error in starting service".
    Is this something to do with Xeon server coz the same Oracle 8i is installed much before than this on another P-IV server (not xeon) running the same Op system and it never presented us this problem todate. Its also worth mentioning that this problem occured before as well, on the second day we installed Oracle 8i the first time on Xeon. Since there was no data then, we simply removed oracle, cleared registry and started all over again BUT now it cann't be done.
    Any help shall be highly appreciated.
    With Regards, Rashid.

    Thanks for stopping by this thread. Problem has been resolved from another forum. Actually c:\oracle folder was accessable to administrator only, when I added 'Everyone' to the permission list as well, everything started fine. Allowing 'Everyone' to this folder is dangerous but its working for now :)

  • Intelligent Agent doesn't work

    Hi dear colleagues,
    I got a problem with the Intelligent Agent.
    I installed Oracle 8i EE 8.1.5 and OEM 2.1 on Windows 2000 server. When I
    try to discover the databases with OEM, OEM could only find the node, it could
    not find any database. So I thought maybe the Agent got some problem. I
    opened the log file nmiconf.log, the following is the message in it:
    DBSNMP for 32-bit Windows: release 8.1.5 - Production on 13-MAY-02 20:04:18
    Warning : Listener LISTENER defined in H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora will be skipped because, it does not have a corresponding NT service entry
    Warning : Skipping OracleOraHome81TNSListener : Couldnot find corresponding listener definition in {H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora}
    Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB1. SIDDB1 will be skipped
    Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB3. SIDDB3 will be skipped
    But I don't know where and how to create a NT service entry corresponding to
    the listener LISTENER. Please help me!
    Thanks!
    Wendell

    I think there is no problem with the intelligent agent. It seems to be a problem with your net8 configuration. I think the problem could be caused by several reasons:
    1. Your listener is not configured properly: the listener.ora file should contain a valid service entry for the database (you can do this with the net8 assistant provided by oracle. Normally it should be installed by default)
    2. The agent looks in the wrong listener.ora file for a service entry. So do you have more then one ORACLE_HOME and more the one listener.ora file on the node?
    3. Do you have more then one network interface and are you working with more then one hostname alias? That could also cause a problem. It could be a solution to replace the hostname in the host=name part of the listener.ora file with the right!! IP adress. May be you have to test all the IP adresses of your node.

  • Oracle intelligent agent failure

    Hi,
    I am on windows 2000 server running Oracle 9i database and I cannot start the intelligent agent for database 9i it keeps giving the ,message that it is idle therefore was stopped. When I start it in dos it dumps the message belog in its log. I would like to use the OEM to manage my database but can't because the OMS cannot detect my nodes cos the agent is not running. Please assist.
    The message
    Service name is Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent
    Failed while initializing Collection Service
    Error initializing subsystems
    Agent exited on with return value 55
    Could not start agent. Initialization failure
    Agent startup failed. Check F:\ora9i\network\log\Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent.nohup for details

    Hi,
    check for the time zone.
    In my case it was solved when I was creating a system environment variable named TZ and choosed a valid content, see metalink for timezone problems:
    nsupportedtzs.lst
    supportedtzs.lst
    in the sysman\admin should have a common denominator.

  • Oracle Intelligent agent in different oracle home

    Hi All,
    We have installed new agent (9.2.0.1) in different oracle home, as previous intelligent agent(in main oracle home(9.2.0.5) where database resides) was hanging, after that we are facing a new problem in discovering listener and database in OMS server.
    We have setup the ORACLE_HOME variable to new oracle intelligent home (where we have started the agent now),and TNS_ADMIN variable to main oracle home(database resides) even then snmp_rw.ora and snmp_ro.ora files are not creating in the current oracle home.I followed the metalink notes, even then it couldn't help me.
    From the OMs we can discover the node, but we cannot discover the listener and database, Can anyone help me in discovering the database and listener in the oms when we have two separate oracle homes.
    This is kind of urgent, appreciate if anyone can answer it as soon as possible
    Thanks,
    Riah

    Can any one help me please ?

  • Intelligent agent not running

    Hi all,
    i had database of 9.2.0.1 on windows xp. i am trying to configure EM using OMS. while discovering nodes i am getting error saying intelligent agent not running.
    i tried to start that using "agentctl start" but its saying "could not able to contact agent". when i checked in google its saying to have a snmpagent role should be there in dba_roles which i dont have. i even dont have dbsnmp user, for that i executed catsnmp.sql script. now i am having user but no role.
    also when i tried to start the service of agent from services of control panel its saying "service is started and stopped on local computer some services will stop automatically if they had no work to do"
    what i need to do for getting my agent started and making discovering of nodes?
    Thanks in advance for the help
