Rich,

It is doable. We have two databases with same SID. One on production and another on development box. This is a result of our Unix SA doing it in dark ages.

I had some difficulty in getting the OEM discover these nodes. If I recall correctly, following is the sequence.

1. Try to discover each node one at a time.
2. If the step one fails, then, remove both nodes (production and development nodes) from OEM. Then discover only production node.
3. After step 2, go to development box. Stop the intelligent agent on development box. Delete all the logs created by intelligent agent (Please check the Oracle docs for the location of these intelligent agent logs are created).
4. Start the intelligent agent on development box. Now try to recognize.

Caveat:

In our case, production and development databases are same version.

Using OEM v2.2, how can one differentiate between two databases with the same SID on two different boxes using "Discover node"?

I have a production DB in v7.3.5 that I need to test both the conversion and the app, so the SID is the same on each box, but the ONAMES alias is (obviously) different. The production has already been discovered, but the test one will not discover, I think due to the SID being the same.

Is this doable? I would RTFM, but I can't find a decent M to FR RE:OEM. :)

TIA,
