Dear all,
We are wondering if someone can help us to figure out why multiple agent processes are spawned when we tried to start the agent. This is the RAC database server with 2 nodes running Oracle 10gR2 on UNIX machine.
Please see the following codes:
[oracle@mddbbbpprd1 bin]$ ./emctl start agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 4 Grid Control 10.2.0.4.0.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Starting agent ...... started.
[oracle@mddbbbpprd1 bin]$ ps -ef |grep agent
oracle 2315 1 0 14:49 pts/1 00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g64/agent10g/perl/bin/perl /u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g64/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl agent /u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g64/agent10g/mddbbbpprd1.loe.corp/sysman/log/emagent.nohup

oracle 7178 32413 0 14:50 pts/1 00:00:00 grep agent
root 8012 1 0 May26 ? 00:02:42 /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviagent -f /etc/Navisphere/agent.config
I will appreciate if someone will explain why this happens and how we can resolve this issue.
Thanks!
