Re: Oracle 9i agent on Solaris

1 use agentctl status to verify whether the agent is running or use ps -ef | grep dbsnmp
and you should see 2 processes listed.
The agent configures itself every time it starts based upon /etc/oratab, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora. It creates services.ora and snmp_rw.ora and snmp_ro.ora. There is also a nmiconf.log with details on the configuration process.

agentctl start will start the agent, and agentctl stop will stop it.

2 Evidently if you need to verify a server installation, you need to run runInstaller on the server.
