Re: Unable to start Intelligent Agent

fyi for anybody else that may run into this problem ... this is a known problem on AIX with Oracle tech support. Here is the abridged version of the white paper they sent me:

add the following line to /etc/snmpd.conf above all other 'smux' lines:

   smux 0.0 " " xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <machine ip address>

check the file permissions on /etc/snmpd.* - make sure everybody has read access to them (chmod o+r /etc/snmpd.*)

refresh the snmpd subsystem with refresh -s snmpd

try restarting lsnrctl dbsnmp_start -- should work fine now. Did for me.

Hope this helps.
