RE: Re: emctl fails with "failed to initialize TargetManager"

Dan,
Take a look at the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/emd.properties file.  I've got a 
feeling your previous DBA may have copied the file over from the other node and 
now it's trying to run the same configuration for both nodes...
Just DBA intuition talking here, but take a look at them and/or do a diff on 
the files in both nodes... :)

I read through every trace and log file in those directories. All it ever said 
was that emctl failed with that message...no other information that was 
meaningful.

Hey Dan,
Have you look in the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/log directory for more information?  
The .trc and .log files should assist you in finding out a little more, 
(although I agree on the lacking info issue with grid control logs...)   
I had a similar issue with a grid control stating the agent was already 
running/no it's not and found it had to do with the environment confusing the 
ORACLE_HOME and the AGENT_HOME.  The agent needed to run from the AGENT_HOME 
but was attempting to start it from the ORACLE_HOME.
 
Hope this helps,

Oracle 10.2.0.4 (64 bit) on Linux Centos 5RACI can't get the emagent started. 
emctl start agent terminates with  "failed to initialize TargetManager". 
Background - The person responsible for DBA support on this server is not 
available and did not leave notes. The 'agent died' a few weeks ago, but no 
other details. It did work at one time (and works fine on other server in 
cluster) and no changes were known to have been made at the time of the agent 
termination.I first tried to start the agent, but emctl reports that the agent 
is running. I tried to stop the agent, but emctl reports that the agent is not 
running. No emagent process is found in the process table (ps -ef | grep 
emagent).The targets.xml file was missing, so I ran agentca (agentca -d -c 
"<node1>,<node2>") to recreate it. However, it does not create the targets.xml. 
Nor does it return any error. The output says that the
configuration was successful, but it obviously is not. Running the same command 
on the working node generates a new targets.xml and the agent works fine.I'm 
not very familiar with grid control agents and see nothing in the doc/logs that 
provides me leads to solve the problem. And I am not seeing any configuration 
differences (in the $AGENT_HOME directory structure) that is not node 
related.Is there a way to set more verbose logging?Why does emctl think that 
the agent is both running and not running?Thank you for any assistance,Daniel
