This installation is brand new and not an upgrade of any sort. Its on Linux 8.0 redhat on intel platform.

When installing intelligent agent useing agentctl command I get the following error.

\nAgent startup failed. Check /usr/oracle/network/log/dbsnmp.nohup for details
Required config file 'snmp_ro.ora' was not generated.

On checking dbsnmp.nohup I find the follwing entries:

Mon Nov 25 14:23:57 PST 2002
Certain conflicts were resolved during discovery Please consult /usr/oracle/network/log/nmiconf.log for details Failed while initializing SNMP Error initializing subsystems Agent exited at Mon Nov 25 14:23:57 PST 2002 with return value 55 Could not start agent. Initialization failure

snmp deamon is running fine on the machine.

If i use dbsnmp command, it gives similar messages but also points to nmiconf.log for details. Following is what i found in the nmiconf.log

lisnrctl status gives me the the following:

I can tnsping the databases which are up. I have searched metalink but to no avail.
I am trying to make oracle management server start which starts fine but does not discover any nodes as the agent is not running. Any help is hightly appreciated. Received on Mon Nov 25 2002 - 16:42:52 CST
