It's ALWAYS the network and NEVER the database... That's what I always tell my users. Oh yeah, and if it's not the network then it's Windoze... :-)

  It was DNS! Now it works.

  Thank you all for your support.

  Eric Lansu

    Thanks for your input, Steve. It doesn't work though :-(

    I had OMS-server running -and working- locally on my NT-ws first, but I completely removed all traces of it. I have 256M ram in my workstation, so it should be enough.

    I can launch the DBA-studio in stand-alone, and connect to the OEM-repository, running on the same machine as the OMS-server.

    The OMS-server is running properly on the Solaris;



    OEMCTRL for Solaris: Version 2.1.0.0.0     Copyright (c) 1998, 1999 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

    The Oracle Management Server on host [octopus] is functioning properly.

      The server has been up for 0 17:50:03.501

      Target database session count: 0 (session sharing is off)
      Operations queued for processing: 0
      Number of OMS systems in domain: 1 (octopus)
      Number of administrators logged in: 0
      Repository session pool depth: 15
      Repository session count: 6 in-use and 2 available, pool efficiency:
99%

    When running the conssole on the Solaris, the number of administrators logged in counts 1.

    I can ping the server, but there may be a problem with DNS, i can't resolve the service-name. We will change this this morning, and retry. Eventhough I can, and do access it by the IP-address.

    The command you gave me doesn't work;     $ vppctl -start
    But I started the dbsnmp-listener, and the OMS-server. Isn't that enough to start the OEM-console remote? It works locally.....

    The bottom-line is, it still doesn't work. :-(

      What version of OEM?

      OMS-server on Solaris and OEM-client on NT, OEM 2.1, That's my setup too but mine works :-) I have experienced the NT client hanging a couple of times... it takes a lot of resource to display that annoying spinning world when logging in. Is there anyway to get rid of that? Anyway, I killed the jrew process from Task Manager and tried it again successfully. RAM=128M.

      Have you ever had the OMS-server running on the same NT box? If it's still running try killing it.

      Have you tried launching DBA Studio? (OEM2.1) Can you launch DBA Studio in stand alone mode?

      Have you tried configuring a WinNT OMS-server? If not try it. If OEM connects to the local NT OMS-server then you know there's a communication problem between Solaris-OMS and NT-OEM. Make sure the Solaris version of OMS is compatible with the NT-OEM.

      Good Luck,
      Steve Orr

        I was a bit wrong, but still it doesn't work;

        The OEM-server was down, so the NT-console gave me this message. Now
I restarted the server, and the same login just 'hangs' No messages, no console, just the login-window working to do nothing :-(

        So it looks like the login sees something - it doesn't give me the unable to connect message - but gets no response, and doesn't time-out.

          Dear fellow DBA's

          I have installed Oracle OEM server on a Sun Sparc-solaris system,
and I can run the console on this machine locally. But, I don't want to do this, I want to run the console on a fat-client on NT.

          I connect as the sysman at the IP-address of the OEM-server, but it gives me a 'VTK-1000: Unable to connect to the management server <IP>. Please verify that you have entered the correct host name and the status of the Oracle Management Server' message.

          I can connect with SQL-plus, UNIX etc. but this doesn't seem to work. I re-installed the client-side, recreated the repository with the assistant at the Sun, the management server, the listener and the dbsnmp-client are running.

          I don't know what to do anymore; do you????

          Met vriendelijke groeten,
          With regards,
          Ystävällisin terveisin,

          ERIC LANSU,
