Re: dbsnmp and oraInventory - Advice !

The way I have installed Oracle software, owned by, say oracle, oracle1, oracleg, and to fool the installer into thinking that there is no Oracle software installed is by renaming the /var/opt/oratab to something like oratab_<instance>. After the installation I add all the databases to the new oratab file. The problem I ran into is that Oracle keeps on trying to use port 1521 by default. I have to edit the listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, Rename the listener. Maybe someone out there can offer better ways to deal with this issue.

I had the same problem with dbsnmp. For the newest intelligent agent to discover your other services I had stop dbsnmp, unset the TNS_ADMIN variable and start dbsnmp.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi all,

The ENV is oracle 9.2.0.4 / Aix5.2L.

we would like to have different oracle inventory
(in /etc) for different oracle homes.The reason for
doing this is : one instance is not affected by another instance , if there happens to a problem with the inventory. Other than maintaining multiple  inventory , is there a better solution for this ?
(In my case, the number of inventory will not be more than 2)

But, we want to use DBSNMP also. This by default reads  /etc/oratab to get the list of oracle homes . How do make it  read my oratab (say /etc/new/oratab) also ?

All i want is : dbsnmp should discover all my instances ! This is where i'm stuck .

Can someone guide me ? Any suggestions please ?!

Regards,
Prem.
