RE: Oracle Management Agent Configuration in a Active-Passive HA environment

I got it working with Veritas' VCS by following the installation instructions. The only thing I had to add was a script for VCS to poll the agent so that it knew it was up on the node I wanted it to be. I suspect that Service Guard has the same requirement to know if a component is up/down on the active/passive node.

Subject: Oracle Management Agent Configuration in a Active-Passive HA environment  

We are using HP Service Guard clustering for a 2 node cluster (Non-RAC). It will be an Active-Passive environment with manual failover/switchover. The database will be 10.2.0.2. I have to install 10.2.0.1/2 management agent to monitor this configuration and the targets within.

I read the documentation, which says that install management agent on the 2 physical nodes separately, remove the targets that should be managed as a cluster (perhaps DB and listener) and then install another
(third) agent on the virtual hostname/IP address. Has anyone done this
before? Any insights would be much appreciated. Thanks.
