Hi Peter:
I do not know if you have resolved this problem yet. I have been out of the
office for an extended period and I am just now trying to catch up with the
'List'.
We had a similar problem with AIX 5.1 and 'intelligent agent' version 9.2.0.4.
Based on MetaLink note 1014910.6 we made sure the /etc/snmpd.conf was correct.
Then we did the following:
1. Stop snmpd by running stopsrc -s snmpd (As root)
2. Start the agent by running agentctl start agent (As oracle)
3. Restart snmpd by running startsrc -s snmpd (As root)
Our SYSADM did not see any ill effects caused by stopping and restarting snmpd
in this way. He is looking into why we need to start the agent this way.
Please note that once this is done you can stop and restart the agent as long
as both the agent and snmpd are not both stopped (as in a reboot of the server).
I hope this is of help if you have not already solved the problem,
Paul Bennett

Hi Peter
Sorry, I would like to ask you some more questions, I am sure you have gone
through this with Oracle support, I hope that you do not mind.
Do you run Enterprise Manager Server (on the same or different node)? If you
do, can you ping the agent? Do you see a session in database for DBSNMP user? I
guess that you can not see the processes in UNIX (ps -ef | grep dbsnmp) (I have
two dbsnmp and dbsnmpwd)? Has anyone changed the default password for the
DBSNMP user and how?
Kind Regards

We are running AIX 5.1 patch level 5100-30 and 5100-40
depending on the server. We are attempting to start
the so called 'intelligent agent' version 9.2.0.4.
Ironically, the 8.1.7 agent starts flawlessly every
time.
We have modified the snmpd.conf file to include the
appropriate smux line without success.
Looking at the log files would lead you to believe
that the agent started. The folks at Oracle are a
little confused by this because there are no errors
and the logs indicate a successful start. We have
played around with the values dbsnmp.polltime and
dbsnmp.ipctime also without success.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter
Can you ,please, be more precise which agent (I will
assume it is dbsnmp
- so called "intelligent" agent). I did not have any
issues (so far...)
on AIX5L 5.2 running 9.2.0.4 and oem 9.2.0.1.
What specific errors are you getting?
Kind regards

This question has been asked before. After nearly
a
month of floundering with Oracle support we still
cannot start the 9.2 agent on AIX 5.1 servers. We
actually were successful once, but a restart
failed.
Oracle has not been much help. I don't think AIX
is
their area of expertise.
This really looks like something OS specific but no
one can identify exactly what. Any ideas or
esperiences.
